No limit to your ideas. Post as many as you'd like.

Here are mine:

1.) A Hawk-lock "Hawkbill knife" (just makes sense right?) w/ a flipper. Maybe a tad larger than the RAM with an ergonomic grip to suit the blade shape creating a "smooth" profile when closed. A fully serrated version would make me extra cheery.

2.) A "gentleman's knife" in the ZT fashion. A marriage between a Nakamura and a ZT0400 perchance?

3.) Some ZT's that aren't in all black dress...some satin blades, maybe grey or blue handles...mix it up a bit.

4.) A fixed blade in the "bushcraft" or "whittler" category. A thin convex, springy blade, 57-58 RC. Straight full wood handle, classic. Smaller than anything in the current lineup.

5.) A smaller version of the Outcast. Maybe 60% in all dimensions aside from the handle.

6.) A beefy version of the Shallot, still in stainless scales, but with some texture on the handles and a thicker blade. Maybe a "Shallot meets ZT" configuration (in all stainless).
 
1. CPM-S110V Mini Cyclone with black clip

2. CPM-S110V JYD II G10 with black clip

3. CPM-S110V JYD II with Ti handles Ti clip

4. Composite G10 Leek with black clip

5. CPM-S110V Speed Bump Black/Red Smoke with black clip

6. Torx tool about 1" longer no clip.

I have more but I have to go to work.
 
Honestly, Kershaw has come out with so much good stuff recently, I'd be hard pressed to ask for more. And the OD-1, Zing and Packrat are still out there somewhere, waiting to be finished and shipped! This year has been a dream for Kerhsaw lovers! :thumbup:

But since you asked: :D

In CPM 110V: Mini Cyclone, Blur and ENER-G II. For the ENER-G II, frame lock with a satin finished hollow ground blade please!

In 14C28N/ZDP Composite Blade: Blur and ENER-G II. Frame lock on the ENER-G II, and see above for blade grind and finish for both of these!
 
ok I'll play.

I'd like a "Super Duty" version of the JYD-2. I think the design is perfect for a hard-use folder, but i have some suggested changes that could make it stronger and lighter. One, titanium framelock! fap fap. It needs a hinderer frame lock stop pin, with the lock side being bare titanium and the other side being some interesting pattern of G-10. Convert to tip-up carry, CPM-S110V or maybe CPM-S90V steel, etc. Maybe that's an awful idea. I dunno.

I'd REALLY love a G10/CPM S30V Shallot! Holy crap.

and how about a Mini Cyclone that doesn't rattle with the assist on? :-) that dang button...

I'd lOOOVE to see a skyline with better steel, too.
 
No b, does your MC rattle when open? If so, a tiny dab of grease in the torsion bar cavity will fix that! ;)
 
I'll keep it simple. I'd love to see a RAM II. (Yes, I know the ZT-0500 could fill those shoes. But there are some differences.)

hahaha I know! It's not that, I took it apart and regreased the torsion bar's space. It's not the bar that rattles, it's the switch - has some side-to-side play. Only rattles when the AO is on, not off. Strange.

Still a kickass knife though. MC has SUCH a kick opening.
 
I "fixed" all my on/off switches. Since I never turn them off, I just tightened the screw down.
 
I turn the AO off when I store the knife to reduce tension on the spring, figured it was a good idea.

still, how do you get that switch to quit it's incessant rattling?
 
CPM-S110V Leek with Ti handle.

Different handle options for the CB Leeks. Smooth G10...etc.
 
Rainbow leek in Titanium handles and with an S110V blade, all rainbow coated.
OD green blur with S110V black blade.
Spec bump with Tip-UP carry. (I swear that is the only reason this has made me hesitate to purchase this one)
Carbon fiber inlayed tanto groove with S110V blade.
Other than that... I think I'm good!
 
Ill play too lol. How about spare parts in different materials? Like titanium handles and composite blades so you could pimp your leek or shallot how you like? It would be quite a hit with Frankenleek err shallot err JYD lovers. It would be prett easy to do too.

Damascus CPM-S110v Composite A/O JYD II Ti handles with Trac-Tec inserts.
