Spyderco Kwaiken?

They had something similar. A Bob Lum design.

This^ is a very nice folder but I'd like to see a more traditional handle.
Thanks for the vdo, harkamus.

I think the Kwaiken handle in a Spyderco iteration would be the real challenge. Material is everything.
I really like the Spyderco "Ethnic" series and am always interested in more of those but these traditionals
can be spoiled without design restraint. I think of the "knock offs" as shadow knives or cousins knives.
Go for it Spyderco - I'd love to see it (maybe own it).

The thing is, Spyderco CAN pull something like this off and do it with that Spyder style.

I would love to see what spyderco could do with this. I like the Kwaiken design and a spyderco would surely be a first-rate representation. I would prefer a more upscale version (CF? Titanium), but useable version (not just arty decorative) with a premium steel (S90V ).

Thanks. ^
If Pohan Leu can design a kwaiken folder, Spyderco surely can.
