Currently I have the Benchmade Griptillian, Spyderco Delica, Spyderco Endura, Spyderco Tenacious, and Kershaw Leek. Along with a Leather wingman and squirt PS4. I want more knife ideas and I’m looking for either the same brand but I would like to branch out from these. If you all want to post your whole collection go for it. And GO!
 
You NEED a paramilitary 2, then you will want one in every steel available!
 
I want some company to make a two blade knife in D2 or VG10. The front blade should be a long clip or drop point linerlock with a thumbstud and the back blade a pen blade slippy. Both blades satin finish with no etching or designs on them. It may require two center liners to do that. Both blades opening from the same end. Does anyone know of a similar knife? Peferrably with textured g10 scales and a pocket clip. If anyone knows of such a knife please let me know. It is my grail knife design!

For something very different, check out the Cold Steel Tuff Lite. It’s a weird and wonderful little knife that fills a niche few other fill. For a little more weight but about the same price, you might look at the CRKT Pilar.

A true outlier suggestion would be a Asheville Steel Warlock. You may also want to try out slipjoints (as others have mentioned) and you could go modern-traditional with a Spyderco Roadie or Pingo. It doesn’t look like you have any carbon blades in the mix, so you might check out Great Eastern Cutlery’s offerings as well.
 
Don't forget Steel Will knives in the D2 listing. Price low, very high quality.

Two bladed knife similar to the GEC #81 Bull Moose but with cpm 154 or cm 154.
 
It looks like you need a US-made Spyderco. I'd suggest the UKPK because it is affordable, gives you a slipjoint and a new steel, and also it's a great and light knife.

Also, the obligatory Opinel No 7-8, and Morakniv Companion. Though there is a knife called the Antonini Old Bear that is very similar generally to an Opinel, but is Italian made and has kind of a more interesting lock collar. I'd never heard of it until I already owned an Opi, but I think I would have tried it instead. But a Carbone Opinel is good (or maybe Morakniv) for experimenting with patina, since they are so cheap.

Hmm... And the Gerber Strongarm is a decent tough fixed blade with a very nice sheath given the price point. It's a pretty basic design but the handle is very comfortable and the size is good. The blade is super thick though, so I'd say expect to reprofile it for any sort of decent cutting.

Maybe take a look at older Kershaw models. I remember them having 2 blade liner locks with thumbstuds, but I think they were opposite ends.
