Simple Request Thread

I've mentioned all these before in a past thread on the forum:
1. The Bantam series are great comfortable daily use knives. My favorite being the 285. Would love to see Buck offer an upgraded version with better material handle (burlap, micarta, ebony, etc.), and a redesigned deep carry pocket clip. I think they would sell a ton of these.
2. Custom shop at one time offered ram's horn on the 110. Would love to see it offered again.
3. Buck 110 with a 112 sized blade. Maybe call it a a model 110 Ranger. Story behind this: One of my older 110's has been resharpened over the years so much that the blade eventually became closer in size to the 112. Kind of like plb's knife shown above. I don't carry it a lot but when I do, its balance and usability feel amazing in the hand.
 
I’d like to see the 500 Duke come back. Very underrated knife imo. Way nicer to carry than the 110 for me anyways. Plus I’m a drop point guy.

What about a 112 Drop Point?

As I've mentioned, probably the most nicely sized/ proportioned knife for field dressing deer that I've ever run across.

Not sure how simple it would be, but a full tang 105 would be my request. I dont think a finer general purpose outdoors knife has ever been designed, and beefing up the handle a bit would only make it better. I dont like beating on my knives with sticks, but as a bit of a gorilla I can feel that handle flex when I put out too hard.

Last week I was backpacking in the rockies and got allot of rain, I had opted to bring a Kelly Kettle over a hatchet and ended up in one of the fairly rare occasions where splitting dry kindling out of 2-3" diameter sticks with a knife became an actual necessity. Carefully working it through short/ knotless portions of wood the 105 managed it... but that flex let me know that I was basically pushing the 105 about as hard as it could handle.
