Sprint runs you wish you could buy?

So everyone here has one model they wish they could tweak, or one maker they wish could put out something really special. I want to hear some of your dream concepts for sprint run models? I'll start with two of mine
I'd kill for a cold steel rajah 3 with gray 3D machined G10 scales and a stonewashed CPM-154 blade or a Kershaw 1745 Ener-g2 with black/blue micarta and a black oxide coated CPM-S35VN blade. How about you guys?
 
Paramilitary 2 with carbon fiber scales, M90 (but I'd be OK with S30V), and liner lock.
 
From a production knife standpoint, I would LOVE a larger Southard. Like the Manix XL. THAT would be an awesome knife to me.
 
Hey Bill even tho the M390 CF Millie is cool I would love to match my S90V CF PM2 with the S90V CF Millie. Ankerson has one but he won't give it up!!!! Might have to sell some of my extra PM2s sprint runs to get enough money to convince him LOL

I'd love the exact opposite, make me a 3" southard and game over, I won't need anymore.

Another thing I'd really love to see is the UKPK platform taken farther, I know the SPY-DK came out so hopefully the UKPK keeps going strong. I'd love to see [all in FFG] non-laminated ZDP, S35VN, S90/110V, maybe something they don't often use, say D2 or Infi. The UKPK isn't hard use so I say why not use some super hard steels, people are less likely to hard use a slippie so they'd be less likely to chip/break it than say like if they put ZDP or something 62-65RC on a Gayle Bradley or something like that.

I don't care what the steel is, I'd like to see a light use folder (again like the UKPK) at >65RC. No one would want that in a hard use knife cause it'll chip but in a light duty knife you'd never have to sharpen it. Hell I've never needed to sharpen my ZDP manbug, it could easily be 65-67RC and I'd never have a problem. I understand you can't use a super hard steel in a hard use knife but why not on a light duty EDC.

Kershaw Skyline in a super steel would be pretty cool!
