If you could design a Sprint Run..

Manix 2 in Powernoodle Blue G10. I bought one back in the day, and then sold it. I'd like to get one back into the arsenal.

This, only with no Boye dent and an Odin's Eye Damasteel blade...

You don't like boye dents ? They ( theoritically) keep your knife more secure by preventing accidental closure. That being said ; my G-10 harpy has no boye dent and it never closed accidentally.

Tell me about it... I'd love to see a lot of models with CF and XHP or ZDP like the Jester and Delica for sure. My next one will probably never even be considered but a Matriarch with CF and H1 Spyderedge :D
 
Serrated Captain and a sprint of the Schempp Persian w/ some super blue or hap40! A m4 yo2 in green micarta wouldn't hurt either...:cool:
 
A Sage with a ball bearing lock! Like the Phoenix or Polliwog. Not the caged lock like the Manix 2
 
Ayoob in M4, or the mini Ayoob that JD suggested. Also a Caly 3.5 with bolsters and a super steel. Lastly a D4 or E4 in Superblue or HAP 40 that is not damn clad. Solid steel

Frankly, I think the Boye dent is more of a pacifier than a mouth guard. Not to mention that when has anything called a "dent" ever been considered attractive and desirable.

At the very least, the choices of which knives Spyderco has decided to bless (or curse) with them and which get nice smooth lockbars seems more a coin toss than a logical decision based on things like size or potential for SD use.

Case in point, several of Spyderco "hard use" midlocks, the original Manix and 83mm Manix as well as the various Chinooks did not have them. Neither does the current Native 5, although earlier Natives did. At the other end of the spectrum, can anyone tell me they believe the Ladybug, and Manbug would be dangers to their users if the Boye dent was omitted?
 
A Yojimbo2 in S110V with a dark gray fluted titanium handle. With a frame lock.

I second more Ayoob. Improvement to the clip would be my suggestion. For some reason mine catches on everything.
 
A Stretch with a compression lock or integral lock, micarta scales, and one of the following steels: m4, m390, k390 or cru wear.
 
Lots of interesting ideas although many of the model and steel combination seem unfeasible given the makers Spyderco uses for certain models. I'd like to see a Caly 3.5 in Hap40 steel and burnt orange G10 scales to compliment my Super Blue Caly's.
 
Para2 in K390 sounds good. Para2 in Cruwear or M4 is almost essential, M4 version is promised anyway. I would try to buy K390 or M4 but I already have several Spydercos in Cruwear.

I've long said that some form of red G10 would be good, even if it has to be a darker color such as maroon or burgundy. I also really like the OD green that was used in a Tenacious sprint.

I'm going to propose a couple of sprints that I think are really missing from the Spyderco line, even though I don't personally have need of them, and that is a SALT version of the Para2 and of the Manix 2 LW.

Good points, but I also notice the dent being a good way to quickly find the lock bar blindly. I don't have a preference, just noting something I noticed.
 
A Spyderfly with a Combo Edge S110V blade with Ti handles. This one for sure will never ever happen.
