Time for some different Byrd designs.

I get this is the budget line and no where near as popular and trendy as the mid and upper end Spydies.. I guess what I am saying is how about some new blade designs? Even if the steel stays the same?
I was thinking of a larger fully serrated 4 inch bladed hawkbill. Like a big brother to my Byrd hawkbill.
Or something along the line of a ZT 0990 blade shape with a different handle shape.
I really wish Byrd knives would try some new designs as I would assume that would be a good way to test the waters and see if the designs invented would be a hit and worth production in the Seki City/Golden line ups?
I really like Byrd knives for hard EDC use due to the lock back system which has become quite a rarity these days as liner and frame locks have become the big thing.
For those who prefer liners\frame locks. Why not feel free to give your thoughts on including those on the Byrd line up? And I would love to hear any ideas you may have for a new design Byrd.
I just ask we leave blade steel upgrades out of this as to not hijack the purpose of this post. And to keep Byrd knives economical so we can focus on budget and different designs as opposed to raising costs.
Which would also potentially be counter productive to Spyderco's higher end line up.
