I Would Buy That If.....

[sabre cat]

Hi Everyone,

I figured it could be lots of fun to see if we could improve on some of the knives in production or available on the open market. The only limitations are these: 1. Part of the product has to be currently in production. 2. Comments about MAP pricing and other retail cost are off the table. Let's make this about the idea of improving knives, not sniveling about a companies business practices.

So here is how this goes: I would buy __________ if the manufacturer would offer/change ___________.

You can cross borders if you would like. Combining features from competing manufacturers is also acceptable. Posting more than one idea is also encouraged.

Here's mine. I would buy a Kershaw Blur if they offered it with G10 scales and removed the SpeedSafe spring.
What would you do?

I would buy an Emerson if the chisels were ground in the other direction ... maybe. I still might not.

Oops. Wrong thread!

Tip up clip on Spyderco Military
Tip up clip on more Mcusta's
Everyone ditching S30V. Too many knives I like only available in this or lesser steel.
ZT 0770CF manual with KVT.
A smaller, ZT Hinderer flipper with KVT.

I'd buy a XM-24 if there was a no-choil version

Just a quick thought, I would get a Buck 110 in CPM 154, drop point gun blue blade, carbon fiber handle scales and titanium bolsters or mokume (?).

Agreed...maybe.

I would buy more Shiro's if they were made more models with 3.25 to 3.50 blade length in M390.

 

[DrNate]

I would buy the ferrum forge falcon/we knife collab, if it came in a 3.5-3.75" length..

 

[ThemGunsThough]

I would buy a bm infidel if it was half the price.

 

[3fifty7]

I would buy a Spyderco Police in stainless with a plain edge if it didn't say POLICE on it.
I would buy a Spyderco Vallatton if it didn't have a THUMB STUD in addition to the Spidey hole.

 

[Uncle Timbo]

I would buy a lot more knives if they weren't made in Taiwan.

 

[jeffsenpai]

I would buy it if I had more $$$

 

[slimkango]

I would buy a WE 609 if the manufacturer replaced the thumb studs with a flipper.

*I do like thumb studs, most of my folders have them. I just would like a flipper on this particular model.

 

[Pomsbz]

I'd buy a CRK Mnandi and a Kizer Feist if they weren't hollow grind.

 

[fjblair]

I would buy a bm infidel if it was half the price.

That's it! There are a hundred knives I would buy if they were half the price. Seems reasonable to me.

 

[Hickory n steel]

I might buy a Victorinox cadet if it had a pen blade instead of the fingernail tool, but in general I'd be more into the alox models if they had the toothpick and tweezers and didn't cost about 10$ more than everything else while having less functions.
I would buy a buck 119 if it was readily available with a left handed leather sheath ( not gonna pay extra to get it )

A BRKT if the people running the show were not so contentious with the oft-critical enthusiast community.

 

[MessOnAMission]

I would buy a Scott Cook Lochsa if Mr. Cook would offer up a spot in his books

 

[pyro777]

I would buy a Gerber Covert Automatic if it was tip up carry instead of tip down. I can't abide the tip down.
