I recently acquired a Code 4 and it is the sleekest most sexy knife CS has produced in my experience. Its presence vanishing when clipped to the pocket. And with these feelings, comes the gleaning of limitless potential. Sleekness also means slickness in the case of the Code 4. Imagine trying to grab a speeding sports car with just the friction of your fingers on the smooth metal exterior. Dumb image :chargrined:.
Taking this into consideration. I offer to you an idea that would meld the elegance of the Code 4 with tacticality and improved function: The Code 4 Elite! One side G-10, one side aluminum!
emmersed:titanium?). G10 on the grip side, metal on the clip side -- to deploy easier and save your pants.
At first I thought of this when thinking how the slick handle would work with the idea of a possible Mini Code 4, I frequently tout, before realizing that the handle length is the only thing that keeps this thing gripped in your hand properly. So then the G-10 idea popped into my head. However not wanting to completely lose the sleek factor, I thought of what rje58 said -- and BaM!! -- this idea popped into my head.
---- If by any chance this idea was presented before, regarding the Code 4, then... BUMP! ----
At a 70-$80 street price point currently for the Code 4, CS can work with it. People are often shocked to get XHP for such an inexpensive price. By curing the drawbacks of the overall model, they can increase cost by a small margin (keeping it under 100, if not titanium :nevreness
and release a near perfect all around tactical and elegant folder that everyone could still afford.
What do you think?
This is why I haven't picked up a Code 4. I have passed on a lot of knives with metal frames. The otherwise good and great knives I've had, whose primary and sometimes only significant fault was they had metal blades that didn't offer a firm grip, have soured me. I usually want at least ONE side to be G10 or something grippier than smooth metal...
