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.

I understand what you are saying. Many cheap knives make great knives just because of how they are designed. I have many that way. However, you just cant make up for superior steel. It takes a better edge and holds it longer. You also can do things with those knives that would make something like a cheap piece of Chinese 440 with a good heat treat crumble like a ritz cracker in comparison, regardless of how it was designed and how fine the execution of it was by the manufacturer. (like cold steel knives and their demonstrations of their products, some companies deserve every bit of reputation they get for the superior knife they produce)
 
1. Have Kershaw bring back the USA made Zing.

2. CRKT use better steel and HT in their blades. Across the board.

3. Benchmade start production on a mini Triage.

4. Benchmade offer a non assisted Volli.

5. Benchmadeand and CRK team up and offer an Insingo with an axis lock
 
ZT 801,561, and 562 with blades no thicker than .125", preferably less than .100" for the 801. Regular production carbon fiber Blur with a variety of steels availavle.
 
Opinel with S110V, because sometimes you need to slay an army of cardboard boxes and you may not have time to resharpen.
 
I want to see:

--A folder under $30 that's better than the Ontario Rat1&2 (I still haven't after years of looking)
--More TRULY Ambidextrous Folders and Sheaths for us Left-Handed guys.
--No more fake PM2's invading our homeland.
--Removable screws on the Spyderco Pacific Salt and Salt1 (I HATE that their pinned. Meant for use by the waters edge, I want to be able to take it apart if fish scales and guts get in there)
--Anyone caught knowingly selling a fake PM2 has to test its edge on their wrist.
--More jimped finger choiles and thumb-ramps/spines.
--Did I mention more consideration for us Left-Handed folks?

I would like to see a Buck 110 in S-110-V. I can move the blade to a Ti handle. Also a Benchmade 943 in S-90-V. I can move the blade to a Ti handle.
CRKT could use some high steel.
 
Invisible knives. Made with new uninvented materials that cannot be found by metal detectors or other means.
 
I'd love a Strider PT CC in CF with a pocket clip and a steel lock bar insert. The PT CC is the one strider I would buy again if they'd just make it possible to have a pocket clip. Or a DGG PT. Oh, and make them in enough numbers that you wouldn't have to sell a kidney to get one on the secondary market.
 
If Chris Reeve was to build a brute folder like the ZT0560 with an emerson wave and all the bells and whistles of the ZT0560 and a Carbon steel blade 5160-52100 and an option for stag or elk scales that would make me happy

O wait or one that when opened it made woman's clothing fall off And of corse world peace save the whales and trees and spotted owls etc etc.
 
Kershaw Tremor with high traction G-10, jimping, and an S30V blade. Digi cam G-10 would be nice, too. Also make it under 5 ounces.
