Knives that would me amazing with just one small change

Kershaw JYD II CB - smaller clip, maybe in black
DPX Hest Original - FFG
Becker BK14 - longer handle
Böker Plus PSK - I would love to buy it, but I can't find a comfortable grip on that thing
Böker Plus XS - remove the holes in the blade, always get dirt stuck in them
Ontario RAT-1 - better coating
CRKT M16-13Z - better steel, AUS-4 is kinda crap
 
So many benchmades I would buy if they offered them with handle materials other than plastic.

I also wish case would give more handle options for their cv blades. I would love a blue bone swayback jack in cv.
 
Oh, another one:
Spyderco Tuff - Give it a flipper instead of a choil.
 
I love the Spyderco C22 Walker design—beautiful blade shape, wonderfully compact, super light— but it would be truly perfect with a lowrider wire clip.
 
PM 2: (1) blade length increased to 3.5ish without extending size of handle; (2) replace boilerplate G10 scales with CF scales.

Why do I have to ignore such knives as the native, the delica, etc because I detest how much effort it takes to get one open. Might as not have a hole if you compare it to a linear, compression, axis, or ball-bearing.......lock-back knives just suck

I have a delica, very easy to open.....closing is the only thing that is usually argued...still can be done one handed...

The above is a pretty good picture of a Kershaw Speedform II. Elegant design, great looks, awesome, pointy tip, high quality, super-steel for a blade, and made in the US, all for under a hundred bucks online.

This is the other side of the Speedform. I'll never understand what was going through the head of the guy who decided to utterly ruin the looks of the knife with a stupid, flashy, completely inelegant pocket clip like that one. It's the only reason I don't own the knife already.
 
1.Alox SAKs with pocket clips
2.BM mini-grip & reg. have thinner handles,they are light enough but just feel a little bulky
3.all Kershaw Blurs came with flat ground blade (I hate their hollow ground versions,and worse you never know when your getting one :grumpy:)

choil/no choil

I like knives designed with choils and like knives that don't have choils also. I do find them useful and utilize it everyday during my tasks.

I couldn't trust this grip. It could use a choil:

Another derailment post, TERMINOLOGY:

The "choil" is an indentation in the cutting edge at or near the ricasso. Of the 3 knives pictured, NEITHER spyderco sports a choil, BOTH are indeed 'choil-less'. They both feature a prominent ricasso in the tang that extends beyond the actual cutting edge, and one even has jimping in the ricasso. But no choils. The Benchmade Onslaught sports the only choil there.

I realize that language 'evolves', but "groove" does not equate to "choil" when discussing knives. You wouldn't consider a scallop-serration a "choil", would you?

Thank you for your patience. ;)
 
If I could swap out my s35vn blade in my mammoth ivory Sebenza for a tool steel like CPM-M4. Not really for the added toughness or edge retention(tho it couldn't hurt), but mainly because I like patinas. I like modern knives for their updated properties, but admire the beauty and elegance of a traditional carbon steel slipjoint with ivory scales. The Sebenza is close, but a patinable blade would be the icing on the cake.
 
If the Kershaw Junyard Dog had a normal pocket clip and could be carried tip up I'd buy one right now.
 
Benchmade: Less plastic, less black
CRKT: Better steel
Kershaw: Fewer imports, fewer recurves
Spyderco: Less ricasso, less ugly
Mcusta: Offer some assisted openers
