The Ever Great Vantage Lineup

Didn't CJ or Chuck explain that the Vantage is not meant to be a flipper? Seems there was even a video interview with one of them explaining it. Makes sense... no flippers to Canada and parts of Europe.
Seems he said the tab on the spine is depressed to get the blade out far enough to use the thumb hole.

I really like the Vantage. I went so far as putting the 20CV blade and micarta scales on an old screw together frame to make it easier to flip. I just have an issue with liner locks and frame locks that I can't get around.

That's a weird way to design a knife!
 
I’ve tried to put it in a compressed file but it says it’s still to large to post.
I guess I’ll have to make a youtube video and post a link. I’m not to game on creating a youtube account. Lol

Me too. I have had this AG Vantage for a few years and don’t carry it. I have it stashed where I think I might need a knife. I like the S30V steel and the DLC.

Maybe like a 3.75in or 4 inch blade on a Vantage would be interesting.

On the 110, I wonder if they would need to beef the handle up as well or just stretch the design out?

A 4 or 4.25 inch Vantage would be awesome as long as they didn't make the blade stock any thicker.

On the 110, I was thinking something like the biggest Puma 110 clone. I think it's 5.25 inches closed.

That would make for one long thin blade :D

I would love to have seen a concept of it. It does seem the Vantage line has dropped off as I am seeing most the models getting DC'd

I am thinking they are hedging their bets that the Slims and Spitfires are the more popular models for affordable EDC type knives. (They are not wrong)
