Hi DK481,

Welcome to our forum.

sal

I'd buy a CRKT Sebenza if they made them... Not turned on by the zytel framelock.

It would be the Police! I think if it could lower the price and weight, it would sell like hot cakes. Make it in dark blue FRN with wire clip.

That's a good point.

I'm in for a Carbon Fiber Lightweight S110V Manix 2. :)

I'd FRN the Temperance 2 to bring the cost down. Would make a great camp or kitchen blade.

I would also go for an FRN SouthFork. Because I can never get enough of that model.

That's a really interesting idea.

Some very wise members e have here. I couldn't agree more. Make the Caly 3 / Caly 3.5 back into solid FRN (or solid G-10) models.

p.s. I also think a solid FRN (or solid G-10) Police 3 would be a great knife.

And fish scale texture on an FRN Caly just like on the Caly Jr.

Ohhhh yeah.... I though that was understood. I am sure it is universally known and accepted that the fish scale texture is the superior FRN pattern! :D

On a platform as ergonomically sorted as the Caly series, definitely.

Caly 3, Chap, Cricket

Caly

FRN Dodo?

The theme is more to showcase 'fancy' handles haha, and for them to make a mold worth it they would need to sell ALOT of them to break even... I can dream tho

They've done a FRN Cricket, right?

Your burning desire exists ...

This one probably can't be easily done... But how about a yellow FRN Salt Tusk?

(a guy can dream, right?)

Yes, I want it back.

I never added to this after being the OP. Mine are an easy one and a hard one.

1. Ayoob (Sal said that moving this to FRN and H1 SE would be a really easy concept since the Ayoob was made at the same plant that also does the H1 knives). I came to Spyderland right as the Ayoob sprints were drying up and I might be overstating how well these would sell. I have said before and will say again, this would be THE H1 folder IMO as the super negative angle would make cleaning fish a breeze and it is large enough to do heavy marine chores. This is easy and would be a grail.

2. Techno. I guess it would have to be either a lockback or CBBL lock and in doing so would widen the folded profile a lot. I just like the idea of a smaller stout thick bladed knife in FRN. This one will never happen but something close would rock

You guys have me so close to pulling the trigger on a Caly of some sort.

There has to be something to it when so many people agree on its goodness. Maybe once my Para 2 204P gets here and I see if you were right about that one being the bees knees, I will fall to the peer pressure.

a yojimbo 2 in frn and with a back lock would be interesting
