I'd like to see some blue anodized clips to match the thumb stud and lanyard pin as well. That would be amazing.
THIS. VERY MUCH THIS.
I like the idea of a blacked out Umnum as well.

Looks like higher edge retention blade steel is the clear winner.
I understand that steels like S90V, S110V, M390, CTS204p, CTS 20p etc. might not have the toughness of S35vn especially heat treated soft at 58-59. S35vn is a very good mix of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge holding, and it's not a bad steel. Look at Ankerson's cutting tests though and a lot of steels these days are SPANKING S35vn at 59. In my experience it's not much harder to touch up those premium steels than S35vn in the field, a full re-profiling sure that sucks, but I doubt many try that in the field.
These days there's just too many options both production and mid-tech that offer superior steels with much better edge holding, if they were breaking and chipping all the time people would stop buying them and companies would stop making them.
