So even at the top, the Air only has 23% of the vote. Far from the majority, so let there be a runoff!!
Final poll. Let's see what you think.

Boy this is a tough one but I voted Persian. If they could make it with the bolster in gray G10 and Cruwear, man that would rock.

I too would really dig anything from Ed Schempp! I wouldn't turn down the C95 either though.

Have to vote C95 Manix. Manix is one of my favorites and I would love to add a C95 to my collection.

Maybe a spirt run, grey g-10 with cruwear.

Voted for the C95 Manix, so that my C101MBG2 Manix 2 mid-backlock will have a big brother.

Voted for the Persian.

I'd love to see a new version that combines the handle scales & bolster of the original, with the FFG blade of the later version.

Oh wow! Manix is off to a strong lead.

I am really torn between the Persian and the Air. Still hoping to see some new Schempp designs, but I will support anything from Ed Schempp. And I think Mr. Bradley is another classy guy. Wouldn't mind dropping an Air in the bottom of my pocket.

The Worker would be really cool. Especially approaching the 50th Year Anniversary for Spyderco.

Go Persian, Go Persian, Go Persian!

Schempp, Schempp, Schempp!! Rah Rah Rah!!!

I'd actually prefer the Persian 2 over the Persian. If it could also be converted to screw construction like the Ayoob was, that'd be a plus too. Grey G-10 and Cruwear maybe?

Of these four I voted C95, especially since the Ulize and Rookie have been removed. But even with them I've believe I still would have voted for the C95!

Thanks for heading this up!

The C95 Manix looks like every single Spyderco ever made. Ever. Zero points for originality!

The chances are if you want the C95 Manix, you already have it. ✅ 😀

I voted Air because I want one. But what I really want is the Double Bevel. Had a chance to pick an unused one up at this shop but didn’t and now I regret.

How it feels in hand though is very unique among Spydercos. Even among manix iterations.

I can't think of any Spyderco folder aside from the Chinook series with as thick of a handle. Maybe the szabo folder....but that was less ergonomic for utility work.

C95 please. I’ll take it in pretty much anything with corrosion resistance at least as good as Cruwear.

A C95 spirt run would be pretty cool, curwear, m4, etc.

Not without customization, but I'm sure it could be done. Honestly, for a redo, they could mill in a wire clip fitment without changing the footprint of the knife. Never out of the question, but ultimately in Spyderco's decision court.
