Things you would want to see in a knife that won't happen....

All companies stop labeling their steel. Exotic steel labels result in fetish treatment by knife nuts. A knife is good, or it isn't. The type of steel used for the blade seems to be far less often the determining factor, but rather things like the heat treat and the grind geometry.
 
Emerson would make a double ground (V-grind) Super CQC-7 like they do in the standard CQC-7v. Hate that flat side.

A rocket pack on Vic SAK's.

Thicker liner locks all around.
 
Production coated 1095 blades to all have an optional high polish un-coated version. So far it looks like Esee is pretty much the only one doing this. Uncoated ontario's, beckers, kabars, and schrades would be much appreciated, especially for those where the first thing they do is take off the coating.
 
I would like a finish on all my custom knives or any knife for that matter - that will not scratch, rust, tarnish or ever get dual. :D:thumbup:
 
A folder so big Lynn Thompson would think it's excessive, that can be comfortably carried for day to day use.

Also a taser sword that doesn't suck.

I'd like to see an ESEE Izula folder shortly after rapture, but before tribulation.

ESEE Izula Left Behind Edition Folder? :D

My wants are simple, yet will seemingly never come to pass:

Regular Opinels with synthetic handles (no whistles, shackle keys, or weird serrations). :thumbup:
 
More knife companies make a modernized tanto/wakazashi with traditional style blades with a laminated blade, something beautiful like flowers or cranes for the menuki to keep the traditional appeal, an overly thick oval shaped brass tsuba/gaurd with an off centered hole for the tang (like the Cattaraugus quartermaster 225Q), and a real hamon. Instead of real stingray skin or wood, use a white or black G10 or resin in the same shape and texture so it is more robust and useable with a cotton or leather wrap. A black or white kydex sheath would finish it off. CRKT makes the closest knife to this, the Hissatsu. There seem to be so few companies that produce a real modern version of a traditional tanto. A modified tanto is just not nearly the same as a traditional styled tanto blade. Also I would like to see Gerber list what steel they use on their products, and make their knives out of something other than "mystery steel" that they do not list..
