Hi Skeeg,

Glad you like it. Thanx much for the kind words. We try. I'm carrying one as well.

On those Swicks, my apologies. Our sheath maker is undergoing one of two surgery's and will be detained for a few more weeks.

Chinook.

I just saw some good pics of a Lum Tanto, the C 46 folder with the Appleseed grind. That is an awesome looking knife. I would love to see a revival.

Sal,

You've gone above and beyond in keeping us informed of the Swick's progress. I thank you.

Make no mistake, I'm not complaining when I make posts like the one you replied to. I'm simply excited to see this model return.

If I have to wait five years from the announcement, I'll still purchase multiples with enthusiasm.

I'd rather everyone execute their part of the final product perfectly when they are able to than see a rushed product. Health and family come before work.

I know this one will be worth the wait!

Anyone mention the Dialex Junior?

I had always dreamed of a Dialex Senior

Wasn’t there talk at one time? It is a marvel to get that slab of blade into that minimalist handle. I personally hate freefalling blades in comp locks like PM2, so this one being tighter was a plus. I think with the right steel upgrade and a little more size, it’s a bush crafting stud. Wasn’t it a Seki??

A D’Allara Rescue Salt would be outstanding.

All the discontinued models, of course.

But if I had to choose...

Barong and Khukri in HAP40, M4, Super Blue, K390, etc.... and with the Barong sharpened further towards the handle a la a Krein Regrind style.

WolfSpyder, Nilakka and Lil' Nilakka in AEB-L.

Spyderhawk.

Lum Chinese and Lil' Lum with a wire clip and smooth handle scales (Raffir Noble?) and some sort of premium steel.

Dyad and Dyad Junior.

Lava.

Chokwe.

Stretch 1.

EDIT: Oh, and one that's not a knife... the Profile sharpening stones.

An odd one: I'd like to see the Schempp Equilibrium return.

But not in the original form, because I really don't like stainless handles, so either in G10 or FRN. And I realize that would require a new lock, which means it'd require a complete redesign. So I know this isn't likely to happen, but that's not the point of threads like this.

The Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite is basically a FRN (Er, Griv-Ex) Equilibrium with a backlock. I've found mine really comes in handy as a secondary knife for fine work or around coworkers.

I would love for the Lum Tanto to return. Unfortunately Sal mentioned it’s unlikely a while back.

Ohh, a Nilakka in AEB-L sounds fun.

I'd like to see the Worker come back with unlined, solid FRN handles.

I'd like to see a Bradley 1 folder in K390 or 4v. Would be a BEAST of a work knife.

Caly jr. Sprint for those wanting a bigger DF

I second that. Maybe as a "lightweight" as well.

Great idea! Love that knife!

Caly 3 for me. I'd love to see a U.S. version with the newly-engineered Native 5 backlock design.

I'd like to see the Leafstorm, Air, Slysz Bowie, Nirvana, Chaparral (Titanium), P.I.T.S., PPT, Spy-DK, and the D'Allara (without a CBBL lock) make a comeback.

I would love to have the opportunity to buy something in Super Blue, Super Gold and V-Toku2 as well without having to pay scalper price too.

Ditto here.
