I would love to see a hawkbill bladed knife about the size of a Tasman. But, I'd love me some VG-10 and screw together construction.

Now that I think about it, it would just be am updated version of the Merlin.

You' should be able to get half of that in a few months, if not already. The blade and lockbar pivot pins on all the unlined FRN knives are being replaced by screws. Not sure if that's reached the Tasman yet or not. And, FWIW, Spyderco's tests show serrated H-1 outperforms serrated VG-10.

YVW.

I believe the brown FRN Sprint Matriarch was the first one they showed up on...

They've been reported on some other models since, and have even shown up on the Ladybug, as in this CountyComm exclusive Orange Ladybug Salt.

Hmm, I might just hold out on getting a Tasman until they're screw construction.

As far as serrated H-1 and serrated VG-10, I was going for a plain edge Tasman more than likely.
