What design from a custom maker would you love to seen as a production model?

[Gravy]

And by production I mean like Spyderco or Benchmade etc.... I think the Switch from Tuffknives would be awesome if done by ZT. The handle kinda reminds me of the BM 761.....

 

[silenthunterstudios]

A Gossman folder from ZT, a Laconico folder from Benchmade. Maybe a Terzuola from ZT?

 

[The Lone Gunmen]

I'd like to see some works from Wayne Goddard and Rudy Ruana, bring some of the those models back.

 

[Brew-Jitsu]

Anything by Big Chris, Gray Wolf Knives, or DCL, but there are so many other makers that I wouldn't dream of skipping on this list. Too many options.

I don't know which large manufacturers I'd have in mind to take on their patterns, but I imagine there are not many manufacturers that could do it as well.

A Gossman folder from ZT, a Laconico folder from Benchmade. Maybe a Terzuola from ZT?

Mr. Terzuola has plans to release a midtech ATCF. There was also a production model of the ATCF done by Microtech.

As for me there are a couple I'd love to see...

Fellhoelter FLG by Zero Tolerance:

Southard Downing by Spyderco: (The knife world in general really needs more hawkbills)

Hoback A-10 by Microtech:

I think my dream production knife would be a Tarani designed folding karambit, made by benchmade, with the emerson wave, and the axis lock.

The potential for this is just..... ugh!

Jim Burke villian

 

[geargeek]

I would vote for the Gossman Deer Creek, one of my all time favorite designs.

 

[The Aflac Duck]

Something from Andre Thorburn or Andre Van Heerden.
A production front-flipper would be pretty sweet, but that'd be a cold day in hell when that happens...

 

[NorthernSouthpaw]

Jon Graham folding Razel.
It's been done before by CRKT.
Benchmade would do it right.

BM would also make a great Alpha by Tom Krein

ZT could do a bang up job on a Stout Leviathan

Spyderco would knock it out of the park making a Rassenti Nirvana.......... WAITAMINUTE!!!

 

[Lost Cosmonaut]

Spyderco would knock it out of the park making a Rassenti Nirvana.......... WAITAMINUTE!!!

Inorite? It's like a dream come true!

 

[NorthernSouthpaw]

Oh, it's happening.
The major part is that it's an Integral too.

 

[The Aflac Duck]

Did somebody say Nirvanaco?

With all that sexy integral-ness, they should slap on a machined clip too. But oh well.

 

[NorthernSouthpaw]

This one is gonna be a game changer for what we should expect in a production knife.

 

[nwmetalbug]

Hinderer Eklipse by ZT oh wait......

 

[asdf12345]

With any luck the actual production model won't have those unsightly lines on the titanium.

With all that sexy integral-ness, they should slap on a machined clip too. But oh well.

 

[presz]

Tom Krein Alpha folder done up by ZT.

 

[jac_solar]

Peter Rassenti Snafu would be awesome. I think it'd be a good fit for Zero Tolerance, or perhaps Lionsteel. I don't think ZT has ever made an integral, though.

It seems like Spyderco is planning on releasing some incredible collabs, though? The Nirvana by Rassenti, and:

Walter Brend Mamba --

Michael Henningson Vrango --

Brian Tighe Tighe Stick --

Filip de Leeuw Myrtle --

Brad Southard Ion --

Gayle Bradley Folder 2 --

 

[MattWRog]

Dervish Alchemy flipper, I feel like this would be a no brainier ZT.

 

[Railsplitter]

Yuna EQ-1. I think Spyderco could pull it off with the greatest of ease.
