Upgraded Mini Recon 1

Would love to see a future model with:
-S35VN steel
-G10 handle
-Black DLC coating
-$80 (reasonably priced)
-Made in Taiwan

It almost sounds like the mini recon 1 before it was discontinued, except it had xhp steel.
This latest version is a downgrade from the original post-2015 version in every aspect.

I recently purchased the standard size Recon 1 (Tanto version). It feels bombproof when you hold it and the ergonomics are excellent, very comfortable/natural grip. I was looking so forward to the rerelease of the Mini Recon 1 but now have no interest. The whole reputation was based on it being a very hard use folder that can take a ton of abuse. Don’t understand why it was turned into a lighter/thinner version. I do hope they introduce it in it’s original format.

Sorry to somewhat change the subject, but I'd love to see a mid size Recon 1 with the specs you mentioned. Pretty much half way between the mini and the regular Recon 1. A 3.5" blade who's spine sits flush with the handle when closed - like the regular size model. I don't mind the black DLC coating, but maybe offer a satin finish as well.

That would be an amazing knife. But I doubt it will ever be made as it would be too much competition for the Lawman.
