What small knife would you like a larger version of?

Looking through my collection this morning and I have some wonderful small blades. One that is so rarely overlooked like the a Kershaw Speedform 2 with an elmax blade, then the super popular leek. Both are relative tiny blades that don't take much real estate in the pocket.

It got me thinking. If you could choose any small folder and have the manufacturer produce a larger version, which blade would you choose and why? Any changes or adjustments you'd make to the larger version?

I think I'd personally love a larger leek. Love the blade design and it's such a simple and elegant knife. Something slightly larger to fill my big hands would be a dream come true.

Thoughts?
 
I'd love to see the Spyderco Jester made Dargonfly size. Love that little folder.
 
I would love to see a large spyderco dragonfly. I like the curve in the dragonfly handle and the choil. I guess some people would say just a delica with a choil but I might want one just a hair larger.

Lotta love for the dragonfly. I actually don't have one yet. I really really have a distaste for frn handles though. Although I suppose once I get my new dremel I could craft my own g10 handles for it. Doesn't seem too hard. lol

There is a g10 version of the dragonfly but it does cost more $$$'s

Oh I'm fine 20th spending more money as long as it doesn't have frn handles. Maybe that just makes me weird but the first time I bought a knife with frn handles I was so taken back by how "cheap" feeling the handkes dekr. Like a McDonald's toy lol (that's an over exaggeration )

Thanks for the heads up in the g10 version!
 
L.T. Wright Great Plainsman. I had mine out today, and it's a sweet blade, but just a little bit larger (maybe 20%?) and it would be the cat's meow. Specs on this one are as follows:

Overall Length: 6-1/2"
Sharpened edge: 2-3/4"
Blade Stock: 1/8"

 
Cold Steel XL Espada. Forget the pocket sword, I want a bloody pocket halberd!

I concur with the Dfly 2. G-10 or CF scales, ZDP-189, choil, 3.25-4" blade.
 
I'd love to see the Kershaw RJI (plain edge version) in a larger version, maybe a 4" blade. On top of that, I'd like it to be US-made (maybe as a ZT) with better steel
 
The one small knife that seems interesting to me is the Benchmade 470 Emissary. I realize that it has already been enlarged to the 477 model, with 3.45" blade. I haven't handled one and it might be a good size, but I would like to see it at 3.75" or a full 4". I have the Benchmade 913 Stryker and it is one of my favorites, an enlarged 470/477 would be very similar.
 
A Spyderco Delica with a 3.4" S110V and choils.

Essentialy a leaf-bladed Stretch or a Mini Manix 2 LW.
