Small Umnumzaan. Thoughts? - Now with mock-up pics

Well, I did a paper mock-up of this fantasy blade.

It would be awesome! A full four-finger grip on a tactical pocket jewel of a badass knife. If they made it, I'd buy two:

With a normal Umnum and a Small 21:

Thought I'd bump this as there is more people talking sense. We all want it, I hope it finds a way to happen someday.
 
I gotta say that personally I did not care too much for the 25 but loved the Inkosi. Additionally I love the Zaan- so I say bring it on! Nothing but good could come from it....

Actually I was very surprised how much I liked the Inkosi. I bought it on a whim at a decent price thinking I would not like it and just turn it. It became my EDC (until I got my first Seb Regular, another story). The Inkosi is a little small for my hands but has a smaller "footprint" in my pocket and feels sturdy enough to do anything a larger knife can.
 
Glad you bumped Kid, this is worth a bump, say once a week till the powers that be, take notice.:)

Restating - An Umnum with a 3 1/8" blade and thinner stock.
This would be a great addition, the Umnum is too much knife for me, the Inkosi is too short. Yes, we need another knife.;)
 
Well if the whole CRK world is now turned upside down, may this is an idea who's time has come. Please!!!!
 
Maybe a different pattern on the handle? I have always liked the star-tac design. I remember seeing someone did a frankenzaan...had a star-tac handle with a TNK tanto. I know not everyone is a fan of tanto but I would buy a few in a medium size!
 
All the classical designs have a smaller version, the XM18, the SNG, the SR-2 ... Because we really want to take it as an EDC, rather than leave it somewhere at home.
Yes, we have small Sebenza and inkosi. But they are totally different from Umnumzaan.
A small Umnumzaan is obviously a missing part. There must be some reason blocking its way.
 
The Ti-Lock really is a great size. I love the blade shape, and the blade to handle ratio is stellar, too. Just an awesome knife.

I'm happy with the size selection on offer right now. If I had to choose a new size for anything, it'd be a large Mnandi. :)
 
A medium Umnumzaan with CF slab. I'll take one with a regular blade, a tanto, and one with serrations. That's 3 for me. And one with regular Ti. So, make it 4.

So do you all think it's just too expensive to re-tool for something like this or perhaps CRK believes it'll eat into sales of other knives?

A wild idea: are they taking it as a backup secret weapon to be released at a proper time?
