Fantasy Spyderco Release

I really like liner locks. Im lefty and just got used to using right handed liners in my left hand. Obviously the comp lock isnt much different to operate lefty, but I think the smaller surface area to contact with the thumb is part of it. I also really do not like feeling the comp lock in the web of my hand when cutting with a lot of force.

They also have a lot of great features, for example, smoothness and strength.

I just like liner locks and frame locks better. Thats why I carry a Millie or a GB2
I pretty much agree with everything you said about comp locks. I generally use a saber grip, but there is inadequate support for the thumb with a comp lock; I can extend my thumb as far forward as possible and it helps some, but then the grip feels unnatural. I tried carrying a Military 2, and I really like the knife except for the comp lock. I decided to switch to an old-style Military, and with a saber grip the difference in feel is much better than with an M2. The same applies to a Sage 5 vs. Sage 1 – I much prefer the Sage 1. I hope the Sage 6 is an improvement, and that the one grip is not dished out like on the Sage 5. I will not buy any more knives with the existing comp lock, like on the Sage 5 and Military 2.

In keeping with the main idea of this thread, I would like to see the older style Military model offered with the same steels as the M2, including Magnacut, 15V, S90V and others.
 
If they release an OG millie in magnacut with the milled g10 or in crucarta I will be all over it. I really like the Jade G10/Cruwear GB2 combo and would live that in an OG millie
 
I think more buttons should be employed on compression locks like the smock, that would be killer on the military 2. Would also be interested in seeing more ball locks like the D'Allara being used on the manix xl.
 
All I wish for is a damascus Paramilitary 2.
If they wanted to fancy it up a bit I'd be OK with Ti bolsters and burgandy micarta.
 
I would be delighted to see a new edition of the Endura with G-10 handle scales.


Why was it discontinued?
I have to agree although the light weight of the Endura is one of its many strengths. But I would very much like one with G-10 scales. Same with the Police.
 
I was going to say a police 4 with an upgraded stainless steel but now that a spy27 version has been announced I will have to change my fantasy to a magnamax police 4. The knife to end all knives. And I don't mind the frn scales they have more grip than the g10 anyways with no lack of durability.

My other two wishes , 15v Native 5 & 15v Lil Native Lockback , are in production... 😁
 
Id also like to see a fancy version of the Street Beat come back. Those micarta handles were nice.

I also think the Military as a fixed blade would be sweet. Its the perfect size for one already. And should be easy enough to produce.
 
A fixed version of the Military would be cool. Ide want to see it with an extra inch of blade, maybe a super tough steel and slightly thicker blade stock.
