My first choice would be the TopTac.

I'd also like to see the Flashback, Prowler and Flashback II.

Dear Friends,

My first choice would be the Hostile Environment, followed by the Eviction Notice...

1) Gentlebug, far and away. I've been waiting for a redesigned Dragonfly for some time, and this SHOULD be it. Beautiful!

2) The Akimbo, depending on its actualy size. It appears to be a more practical "Spydercard", and if it were about that size and thickness, I'd be all over.

Dialex... u eh gude daziner (spelling and grammar proof of my California school education).

Love the Gunting inspired designs, as well as the Kobun in ZDP, and the Prowler. I would buy pretty much any of Dialexs knives if I could. They all really appeal to me!

There's a lot to choose from, but the one I can really see in my hand is the prowler. Intimidating where it needs to be, but compact when folded with [what looks to be] GREAT ergonomics, great steel (and who's to say this isn't a job for S125V too? that is, if it pans out well on the Native sprint run...), and it's a reverse-s that is practical for everyday use. Doesn't hurt to have the G10 there either...

Pilgram followed by Prowler and last but not least the Komondor. The Pioneer would also be a great choice but i know i couldnt afford it.

I love Warncliffe blades so I would have to vote for the Flashback. Great looking design, as are all of Dialex's work.

Akimbo.

I like the Altactan design too.

Another vote here for the TOPTAC and the Gentlebug II. The TOPTAC, I believe would be right up there with the Manix, Mini-Manix, Mili, and Para-Mili. The Gentlebug II would be another one of those "Little Big :spyder: ". ;)

God Bless :)

I think so too.

Dialex, any background and info you can provide on these designs (particularly the TopTac and Prowler) would be much appreciated.

I agree with this. Either would be quite a nice addition.
