I'm sure this has been done before but people's wants change and some things may actually end up coming out , so lets talk knives we wish were made

Right now I'd really like to see a CV Case 63032 medium stockman with an awl and flat blade screwdriver ( no bottle opener ) in place of the pen and spey blades, I've found I only use a secondary blade here and there let alone all 3 if it's got this many but an awl and driver are quite handy.
I think I'd carry such a knife quite a bit.

I'd also like to see GEC run the h20 series again, I would mind a wheels foot offering.

Anything you guys wish could be made ?
 
Case/Bose Peanut with a wharncliffe secondary. CPM154, Wire EDM, relief liners, bronze washers, all those goodies wrapped in deep, black Ebony. Don't care if it's $400; I will own one.
 
Case Medium Congress with a clip main and coping secondary. Take. My. Money!

They wouldn't even have to lengthen the blade as I think with the handle curve that might be an issue. I just love the shape and I like a long clip and a short Wharnie.
 
5 inch to 5.5 inch closed Sunfish, with color casehardened bolsters and liners, brass or bronze pins, checkered walnut or one of the several variety of Maple (also checkered) covers, long pull 1095 blades, plum browned or charcoal blued 5160 or other spring steel backsprings.
Maybe a Bronze, brass or copper acorn shield?

A 4.5 to 5 inch closed 3 spring stockman with the same materials, and full length spey/budding and sheepsfoot (or lambsfoot) secondary blades would be nice, too. :)

OH! and a standard production version of Charlie's ( waynorth waynorth 's) Texas Camp Knife, too, even if not by GEC. :D

(If I'm gonna dream, may as well dream big.)
 
Case quality in comparison to GEC is a step below. So for me a production traditional cutler that can produce knives with at least equal quality to what GEC does within the same price point. Competition is very good for the consumer.

Bit of a derail, but is it possible to do that? What is GEC's 'secret ingredient'? I suspect it's one individual. I don't know anything about making knives though. Queen seemed to start circling the drain when Bill Howard left to form GEC.

Can others duplicate what he has done? I suspect his 'secret' is attention to detail and not compromising with quality combined with a ton of knowledge and skill regarding making these knives.
 
I've suggested this as an excellent candidate for the Annual Forum knife multiple times. Not a common pattern, not offered by anyone, excellent blade choice, and would be easy for GEC or Case using patterns they have. I'd carry the heck out of one!

I'd also like to see a large Pen knife (3.5") like this old one, with sunken joints, and blade fit to match. A slim, usable, knife.

Another knife I'd be in for is a mini electrician.
Something maybe 3" max, doesn't even have to have a linerlock for the driver.
 
Also want a Case half whittler In Amber jigged and CV, probably the only reason the 62032 Texas Jack has displaced my 6208 half whittler a decent amount this year.
 
GEC #35, #81 and #82 patterns with muskrat clip main, sheepfoot secondary with markside pull (think #53 Cuban Stockman), with caplifter 3rd blade at the opposing end. All in 440C, of course!
