I have noticed that many of the models have been DC'dIm not sure buck is going to still produce these. We can only hope. I carry a vantage small for edc myself
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 saidbthebtab 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.
Maybe like a 3.75in or 4 inch blade on a Vantage would be interesting.A Vantage XL would get my attention.
A 110 XL would get my attention faster!

even a 3.6" would be great...doesn't have to be real big just some more blade for more tasks.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?
Its always good to mix things up.. XL would be awesomeA Vantage XL would get my attention.

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.I just have an issue with liner locks and frame locks that I can't get around.

That would make for one long thin bladeA 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.
