I posted this in answer to a question in the Spydie forum, but felt it deserved a larger audience

What I think would be a great product, if a SAK maker or a Spyder/CRKT/BM maker would do it:
- a good steel blade, maybe a SAK-style utilitarian spear point
- a low profile one-hand stud opener
- a decent lock, like maybe the Boy Scout style leaf-liner
- throw in a few tools (flat driver, one of those flat Phillips drivers, can/bottle opener, handle tweezers/pick)
- maybe a pocket clip - preferably a deep pocket like the Gerber AR3.00 or Genesis
- this is key - wrap it all up in a PC, non-threatening RED SAK-style handle.

I guess it would kind of be like a one-handed "Rucksak" model, maybe a little smaller. Benefits are one handed open, locking blade, coupla nice tools - and totally acceptable to the sheep. One could even leave the fingernail opener on the blade for two-handed opening.

I think it would be a real winner, and open up the one-hand/pocket clip market to those who would never consider one of our evil black handled tacticals.

 
That's probably more realistic than my idea of a "pimp"-pearl overlaid, titanium handled front deploying automatic with a selector switch that allows you to shoot the diamond tipped BG42 blade over 300 feet!

Okay, that's stupid. Your idea was better.

I guesss I have to repeat NINJA 101 again!

Full Tang Clan -- You're right, that is stupid. Unless, of course, there's some sort of tether/safety line for the diamond tipped BG42 blade, so that you don't lose it. Replacement costs would kill you.

RH -- I don't much like SAK's, so I'll pass on a one-hand tactical version.

RH,
A couple of months ago I recommended that MicroTech manufacture an all red SOCOM Elite with a prominent white cross on the handle.
I was shocked that the idea didn't catch on
