i wait for one for years. wanted: CF, Ti liner or sublock or lock-bar, thumb-stud or/and flipper, 4" blade or so. tons of anything but that. there are some matching these specs, but not my taste at all. i like sigil but it is priced tooooo high, short blade again. some matrix' blade version is good, but not the whole knife. 0777 was just great except the blade for me, 2 hard 2 find again. i don't know why not make some cool CF knife on regular basis. no one like them really?!

Summary of the original post: "I have a specific set of features I have been looking for in a knife. I have been waiting for years to find one with those features, but it seems to be too hard to find such a knife. What hard-to-find set of features in a knife have the rest of you been waiting for?"
Or super-short version. "I have a grail knife in mind. Nobody makes one like what I want. How about you guys?"

One word: custom.

filtrum, you know why you can't find what you want? Too many good knives out there, sooner or later you will see the right one.
When you order it custom made from a really good knifemaker.

or a knifeart exclusive CF large Sebenza
no, both sides covered by CF, except of the sub-lock, if other lock - fully covered by cf.

The one way to get Exactly what you want and you are dismissive of the option immediately...
Well...I want a unicorn that poops cinnamon rolls, you know?
Short of a custom, you are not, unless you are lucky, gonna find a knife that is exactly what you want AND costs what you are willing to pay.
That's life. Its the same way with everything else too.

I feel you on the Sigil and 0777. Those are just about ideal for me but I could never bring myself to use one even if I got it on the cheap - I'd just sell it and use the money to get something I would feel comfortable using. $600 is a good price for either of those (conditionally) and that's about $400 outside of my "user" budget...
Look at the Fantoni HB01 m390 CF, perhaps.

Grail Unicorn right there for me too... LOL!
:thumbup:Someone already made the perfect knife (IMHO) that is similar to the spec you listed OP:
