What new innovations in 2000 & beyond?

The buying public for the knife industry has seen quite a bit in the past 10 years of the 20th century! Liner locks, lock backs, etc. New blade materials, improvements on the standard steels. Carbon fibers, micartas, G-10.
Anybody venture a guess on what new innovations the makers will come up with? What would you like to see? Or, by the sheer nature of the knife as a tool will it be restricted by its own bounds. Appears to me that the innovations will be slow in coming, but I think that we will see more "knife art" rather than functionality. What do you thing?

I think we'll continue to see advances and variations on all of the existing themes of lock-backs, liner-locks, rolling, axis, etc. locks. I also think we'll see some new alloys -- CPM and Cobalt variants are the first that come to mind -- in more widespread use. I also hope to see fewer tanto point blades, as that particular craze winds down.
