With Spyderco's philosophy of constant quality improvement, which knife would you love to see the CQI treament given to, and what improvements would you want to see?

For me, it would definitely be the Centofante 4 with the following improvements:
G10 handles, four-position clip, V-Toku steel, and of course, keep the Spyder medallion inlay.
 
I’d love to see the Power lock on the Tatanka featured on more backlock knives.

s30v steel as the base option on so many models switched to s35vn.
 
I can show them a bunch of tip down Millies. The problem is they want tip up. And I would have to agree that a G-10 Cento 3/4 would be a whole new model.
 
I would like to the Millie with a longer blade. That handle could hold a 4”+ blade.

Thats a bit of a drastic change to call CQI

Yeah I suppose it would be considered a Centofante 5.

I’d just like to see screw construction on the Centofante.

You're right. This was on my mind but forgot to list it.

In the end, I just keep on hoping the Centofante 4 will get a re-release with upgraded materials. I have owned the 3, but I love wharncliffe blades.
 
Blade steel. Grip material and medallion decorations are not CQI.
CQI is updated pivots, larger lanyard holes, incorporating finger choil.

Here's a reverse CQI. The Chinook has always had 4 position clip. However the Chinook 4 does not. o_O

Remove the lanyard hole on the Military so to either increase the blade length or shorten the handle. Would be great to have the tip up option.

You can't remove the lanyard hole otherwise how else would you attach it to your belt, webbing, harness ?

SOP in a lot of places requires it be attached.

If you are stuck on ropes hanging on a cliff face or tangled in a boat rope or whatever, you need to be able to pull out your knife and use it and then drop it but know it's secured.

Are you saying every pocket knife must have a lanyard hole? Before lanyard hole was invented, how many folding knife users fell off the cliff? ;) Plus, the pocket clip is pretty functional for secure the knife in my pocket.
 
No, not every knife, just military ones.

The original British knife, clasp and splice tool had a wire loop for lanyard.

Not sure about every knife but a lot of pocket knives had a wire loop to put a lanyard through.
 
Screw construction for Caly 3 and/or 3.5.

Put the Golden back locks on the Japanese models. Not quite sure what the difference is, but I haven't had a single Golden BL with lock rock. Had several Seki knives with it.
