Ban,
A lot of people think push daggers are gimmicky but it turns out a lot of the TPI guys who like RGEI knives, etc, are push dagger fans. They can be accessed ambidextrously, are incredibly concealable, and translate well to other skillsets - probably more intuitive even than grip and rip pakal type knifework.
I bet you could sell a fair number. Have you ever considered it? You could do a unique spin I'm sure. I was thinking a small (~2 3/4" blade) one, single edge, and a double-edged 3.5-3.75" one... the first would be more attractive to people who are in less weapon-friendly areas.
Ti also seems like a shoe-in for the push dagger as it's so tough and light and the edge is less important IMO on a push-dagger anyawy; ti and micarta would make for one wicked, light push dagger.
Thoughts?
