The Native5 and Military both have titanium versions (in the Millie's case, two), I would love to see tianium handled versions of the Manix and PM2 (maybe the the Para 3 as well eventually). Maybe the titanium version of the PM2 could have an integral compression lock like the ATR did when it was produced, it seems like a natural progression as the Military goes from a nested liner lock to a integral framelock, the PM2 could go from a nested compression lock to a integral compression lock for the titanium version. As for the Manix, I'm just imagining a liner-less fluted titanium version, how cool would that be? I would buy both of these in a heart beat, no doubt.

Sal has hinted in conversation before that an integral Titanium Para 2 is in the works. As for the Manix I'm right there with ya. Think it would be a sweet knife.

I would love to see a standardized ti version of the Signature knives. If possible, to something like the K2 look and feel would be great. A nice framelock, offer anodizing, can tweak the cutout of the lockbar with different cuts, sort of like taking the concept of the stainless steel models but making it more 21st century.
 
I would very much like to see titanium versions of some Spydercos :
- Yojimbo2
- Para2
- Manix2
- Szabo
 
If they make an integral compression lock Para 2 I hope it's expensive enough it won't be impossible to score! :foot:
 
Absolutely no to any metal handles or bearings. Flippers are ok as long as there's a reliable alternate way of one hand opening so I can grind off the flipper nub.
 
No interest at all. I like what spyderco does with peel-ply G10 and CF. I do not like RIL. I do not like flippers.
Good thing they make a good variety so we all get something :)
This is not to disrespect the preferences of others - its all a matter of preference because they will all be functional - they are spydercos.
 
After spending a small fortune on metal handled knives, I ve decided that the only metal handled knife I ll get in the future will have inserts, like g10 or micarta.
No flippers unless that is a thumb hole or stud or groove allowing an alternative method for opening.
Also, I m realizing that the lightweight versions of Spydercos offer tremendous function and strength for their weight. The increased weight of a metal knife is another detraction.
Don t think I ll buy any more plain metal frame locks to be placed in the drawer with my others.
 
I know it's not a US model, but how about a Ti caly 3 Damascus? It would fit in right next to the Ti delica and endura.
 
I'd be excited to see a linerless Ti Manix 2. I'm fine with just getting some flytanium scales for the pm2 though.

I agree on the FRN. For me FRN does everything I would need 99% of the time for EDC tasks & it does it while being light & strong, back lock & all. The Ti framelock comes into play because of my interest in knives. Sorta like the mechanical watch of handle/lock types. It's not needed for most things, but definitely appreciated.:)
 
its a grate idea,as the jimpping is way better and sharper on golden col.made knifes,the ones made over there are o-kay! but not the best,i would love to see more USA versions made,just my thoughts on it.
 
I'd like to see more Golden knives, period. A linerless CF/G10 Native would be warmly welcomed.
 
I dont mind titanium, but im more into my synthetic materials (micarta,g10,cf). Not into all ti knives, but do like when they have a different material scale on the other side of framelocks.
 
I live too far from water to make owning a boat practical, so I have no need for more boat anchors. I'd take FRN, G-10, CF, jigged bone or even wood over titanium.
 
A Ti compression lock knife would be interesting. More Ti framelocks isn't overly appealing.
