Now that they've done the #23 Bull Lock, I'd love to see a #73 version with a clip point to give my Buck 112 a run for its money.

More barlow knives, some slimmer stockman, a few variatons on traditional cattle knives in 3 3/8" and 3 5/8" sizes, with equal end jacks from the same frames. I'm a fan of knives that look like vintage standard issue knives with few enbellishments, cool shields, no serial numbers, and simple tidy etches.

Use much more O-1. Make something like the #72 lockback in O-1. Or, just for me, a Missouri Trader #421112LB in O-1. That's pretty much an ideal knife for me. It couldn't get any better.

Pete, while we are dreaming, can they match that price point? 
...use O-1 steel on some Tidioute/Norhfield models.
...use less crazy Acrylics.
...use more Micarta (how bout some Blue Denim
).
...re-release original configurations of #56, #66, #79, #85 with different scale materials.
...release the 2011 BFC Traditional as a production model.
...continue to be the BEST maker of production traditional knives in the USA and stay that way for a LONG time. :thumbup:

How old is that ad? Using 1935 as a completely guestimated age, and a standard inflation calculator...
An item that cost $1.15 in 1935 should cost $19.60 today.
That's something to think about...
-----------------------
Also, I'd like to suggest an interesting knife pattern that to my knowledge has never been done: A trapper frame with a standard-length trapper blade combined with a pen blade.

Ad is from 1913
$1.15 in 1913 is $27.12 today.
You don't think Great Eastern could create a six-blade stag-handle knife and retail it for under thirty dollars? And without letting the QC slip?
