One of my favorite modern folders for the last couple years is the VG-10 Calypso Jr.
I recently got to use a S30V Native. Now, I've always thought if the Caly Jr. had just a little more beef, it'd be even better. IMO if you were to take the slightly thicker Native handle with its great ergonomics - finger choils, grippier texture, tapered at rear - and marry it to a flat ground laurel leaf blade like the Caly Jr. but made out of a bit thicker VG-10 stock it'd be a fabulous folder. Add the thumb grooves from the Native and maybe the swedge ... hey, I'm ready to pre-order my Calypso III today!
Just feedback for the design process, I suppose .... and wishful thinking.
