If model _____ had been ___ it would have been perfect

[twinboysdad]

Thought this might be fun- what model, if you could have changed a few things like lock, screw construction,or size, would have been perfect to you?

In the spirit of the question, the Pingo with a lock back and the size of the Delica, would have been a Mt Rushmore EDC for me. Who else has one?

Mantra 1 on PB washers sans flipper would have been perfect in my eyes...

[VooDooChild]

Manix 2 lightweight/
Had been made with chamferred or rounded handle edges.

Police 4 lightweight/
Had been given a boye dent and lanyard hole.

Endura 4, pacific salt/
Had more of a forward finger guard.

Im sure theres more stuff but these are the ones off of the top of my head. None of them are deal breakers but I would prefer a slightly modified design on some spydies.

If the Gayle Bradley 1 had a more prominent hook at the front of the finger choil it would have been perfect and I would own one.

If the Para 2 handle was reshaped so the butt end didn't have a hook like the Shaman (so it would accommodate larger hands) it would be perfect.

If the Autonomy 1 had a bayonet style blade shape like the sketch I did it would be so perfect.

I could probably list a dozen that have "choils" on the heel of the blade that I'd never buy that would at least be better for me without them.

Maxamet Military

Fluted Ti Native Chief

Fluted CF Chaparral - just like the Native - but keeping the steel liners

Sage 2 Magnacut with the Ti slabs contoured like on the Swayback.

CBBL Shaman

3.5" Native G10 (and no, the Shaman is not it)

[Naperville]

Native Chief XL/
had been manufactured with a 4.75 inch, S90V blade it would have been perfect.

[JSumm]

If the Kapara had a back lock or liner lock, it would be perfect.

Too little to pinch with slippery scales for a compression lock.

If the Para 3 LW had thinner blade stock and grind.

[TomAiello]

Manix 2. Magnacut.

UKPK. Maxamet.

[ChrisinHove]

If the Para 3 LW had thinner blade stock and grind.

+1

Lil Temp 3 …. 1/2 inch longer in the handle.

2015 Forum s90v Native …. G10.

If Mule knives put 4.5-5 inch blade on the same type handle and produced as a finished product, this would be great. Even if this was not all the newest top of the line steels, but a standard production fixed blade.

You would still have the option of using all the Mule handles in a great camping/allaround knife.

Spyderco should start with Magnacut on 63 +/-0.5 HRC and a kydex sheet (great for us lefties too).

MSRP 200-250 and I take it right away.

Edit: with the same design of the blade

If my Sage 5 LW had a stronger detent

[Tristan_david2001]

If the superblue caly 3 and 3.5 got another sprint run it would have been perfect

[cabfrank]

If all of my non-Salts would be LW Salts, they would be perfect

[SG89]

If all g10 scales were chamfered that’d be great

[billdoier72]

If the Delica had a forward choil it would have been perfect.

[spydergoat]

If the Pacific Salt 2 had been a wharncliffe it would have been perfect- for me.

[kennethsime]

I’m still holding out for a tool steel & micarta Lil native Slipjoint.

[Geometry]

If the Nilakka had been something with huge edge strength and stability like rex 45, that would have been super.

[RustyIron]

If Cruwear PM2 had been LEFT HANDED, it would have been perfect.
