I've been using a H1 Dragonfly for a few weeks and am really impressed with it's cutting ability. I think it would make a good alternative for a Cricket although it would probably require a titanium or aluminum handle. Actually I think I'd really like a titanium handle with H1 steel. Anybody else?
 
That would be an astronomically expensive tiny knife. Its a pretty awesome idea, but its hard to imagine it selling to many people.

The titanium would be but the first Crickets were tuffram. (I hope I got that right.) I think that was aluminum. That would work but would make it a liner lock.

Three Sisters Forge makes a 2" bladed knife thatselss for $200 and is typically sold out. I settle or a sprint run if Sal thought it was viable. How about fluted titanium and sell it as a gentleman's knife. :-) now THAT would be expensive.

Guess I'm just dreaming.....
 
I'm also a big fan of small spydies (anything up to 3.5ish) and the idea of an h1 cricket would rock! Now, ready for the fun bit? They made crickets with an FRN scale years ago, so the mold already exists somewhere which is the extremely expensive part for Spyderco's FRN handles (making a mold that is) So your idea of a Ti framelock h1 cricket might be awesome with a bright yellow frn scale!

Don't know if you're aware of this upcoming model or not, but as a fell fan of the mini spydies I'm personally stoked for the "Techno" which should be really really awesome!
 
The FRN mold may or may not still exist. Sal posted that they had issues with handle flex on the FRN model that would require a redesign and new mold before they could bring it back.
