What would you like in a new CRK "adventure" knife?

I was pretty thorough in suggesting different steels for an adventure knife. S35VN is decent, don't get me wrong, but it's not the best choice for an adventure knife. (Or the green Beret, the steel choice being the reason I never got one.)

I also suggested Chris Reeve knives needs to branch out from the 'Reeve Integral Lock' when it came to locking mechanisms. Before I get flamed, I know they do the ti-lock also, but that's more of a 'look what is possible' type of thing rather than a groundbreaking new locking method. (And the ti-lock would be poorly suited as an adventure folder.)

I'd be happy if it just wasn't underhardened.

I'd really like a 3V Chris Reeve
 
I think the survey is an awesome way to gauge customer interest and feedback. I like the idea of introducing a 3.25-3.5" folder. I also recommended that they stay away from "gimmicky" additions like the ferro rod or signal mirror. Adding 2-3.00 props to a knife take away from it's intended purpose. That said, I think they are the only ones who came up with a truly elegant glass breaker feature on the Zaan.

I didn't think about a new lock... that'd be cool if they teamed up with G&G Hawk and incorporated another one of their designs.
