What exclusive would you like to see?

#1

Post by p_atrick »

So the idea behind this thought experiment is to propose a new model that extends a current lineup of exclusives. It’s not about inventing a new exclusive category all together. For example, a Military 2 in the REC configuration.

For me, I’d like to see Knife Works take their 204P Delica exclusive and release a P4 LW in that configuration. What would yours be?

If I could buy knives in the Shaman CruCarta combo...but specifically with the same kind of thicker rounded scales, I'd be in financial trouble.

I wish they did more 52100/peel ply carbon fiber combos, especially with full SE. I'd really love a Native 5/Chief/Shaman in this combo.

MagnaCut Salt literally everything. There is a 100% increased chance of me buying anything in that combo. I don't care if it's getting overstated.

Whoever did the OD green/black Cruwear Dragonfly 2...I love that color FRN and I'd love to see it more.

Caribbean combos...on one hand I wish they'd just do one in all black but that could also be the theme for a line of heavier use Salt/G10 models.

i'd like to see another run of the dlc cruwear and purple g10 manix from dlt.

i'd like to see a magnacut gb2 with micarta scales.

i'd also like a magnacut and micarta manix, both coated and satin.

i want all salts to be offered in full black versions as well.

A Manix 2 or XL in 3V with DLC would be cool. It's pretty rare to see 3V get used and I think it'd fit well on a tough knife like the Manix.

A chaparral in K390 would be fun too. My favourite small knife + my favourite steel.

Only Lil Native exclusives will pique my interest at the moment.

I’ll still pay attention and gauge my interest in unique models that get exclusives but aside from that my interest in general is waning as the exclusive market continues to be flooded and way oversaturated.

If anything, a Rivers Edge Cutlery PPT Perrin exclusive would blow the doors off any other exclusive to this point, for my interests.

Almost anything that is a Manix 2 XL or an UKPK.
But to be honest, I strongly prefer sprints over exclusives. And of course regular production over sprints. But I also know, that it is impossible to pump out the diversity of exclusives and sprints in regular production.


The knives that are at the top of my wish list:
Purple DLT Manix 2 XL CPM-Cruwear
CF UKPK CPM-S90V
Manix 2 XL and UKPK in CPM-15V
Manix 2 XL and UKPK in CPM-Rex 45

Has Knife Joker only done the Lil Native and Shaman in this combo? If so, I would love to see more of it. Starting with the Manix 2. Love this combo.

I would like to see a purple, DLC Cruwear Native 5 from DLT. I am hoping that’s not too far of a stretch and that it’s in the works sometime soon. I don’t think that we’ll see it but I also agree with the Manix in 3v. That would trump the Native pretty fast.

Sage 5 and Chap in Magnacut. Native 5 and Lil’ Native midlock in 15V. Manix 2 midlock in MC. And if I could get a Stretch 2 XL salt in Magnacut I might stop buying knives out right. Just kidding.

Any CruWear exclusive gets a look from me, but I'd buy a KnifeCenter CruWear/Smooth Black G10 Shaman so fast it would vibrate Sal's desk. DLC & Satin versions, please & thank you. Then give this treatment to the Chief.

How has there not yet been a Cutlery Shoppe Native 5 in XHP? I'll take 2 of each blade finish, please.

Knifecenter Pakkawood Caly 3 or 3.5 would be pretty sweet looking.

+1 for a Cruwear Native 5 from DLT.

Wouldn't mind seeing a Cruwear Slysz Bowie from DLT either, since they already released the Tuff in this configuration.

For my part, I'd love to see LN Wharnie exclusives enter the market...the soonest!

Paramilitary 2, Left Hand, K390, Purple, XL.
Not Xtra Large like the Manix, but Xtra Long. Not taller, not fatter.
