I wish I had a folder with:

1)axis lock
2)thumb hole opener
3)sebenza-like blade

Please, someone make this folder. Large and small versions please.

Great idea Hoodoo. I want one too.

Hoodoo is talking to himself again. Hoodoo is talking to himself again.

My brother sent me an almost identical list of attributes a few months ago. Seems that more folks than one want a Benchmade-Spyderco-Reeve designed knife. Which company to produce it? I'd vote for Spyderco.

I'd like to see such a knife. What about the steel, hoodoo hoodoo? And what about the handle? Or the price? A nice compromise knife with all of these features with a BG-42 and a a nicely shaped micarta or wood scaled handle for $200 or less would be very nice. Any companies smart enough to do it?

I would settle for an axis lock AFCK, but I am sure it wont happen

When the axis lock first came out, I asked benchmade if they were going to make an afck version. They said no. I sure would buy one if they did.

Paracelsus, BG42 sounds great. Micarta too. But I'd settle for ats34 and G-10 if someone would just make it. Or something similar like a Wenger with an axis lock. Price could then be around $100.

What do I think? I think it's a great idea. You do? Yes, of course. I thought of it didn't I?

I like BOTH ideas! A Wegner with the Axis lock, and an ATS-34 (or 55) Sebenza-style blade with the Spyderhole, ti liners, G10 scales and axis lock.
And my vote also goes to Spyderco to produce them.
Of course, as soon as these mythical blades appear, we'll find something else we want!

Yep..I too would like to see one...though not quite sure how I'd like it with the spydie hole. Certainly not knocking a successful design feature for opening but it does sometimes limit blade/handle config. As much as I love my spydies, you do need to have enough blade exposed to make the hole work. Only a couple options to make this workable. I do know I want it streamlined in all dimensions, dehorned yet useable as an emergency impact tool if needed open or closed position, good useable and maintainable blade geometry, self servicable construction, deep carry and totally ambi, great grip no slip wet or dry. Heck as far as opening goes I see no need for studs or holes. I'm still not sure which is 'better' but for me bm/axis or rekat/rolling lock both work so well no other opening method is needed. May get some grief here but I like the simplicity of the Glock in operation...it works 'one way'...pull the trigger. Good design and simplicity sometimes works. Just thoughts on this end on 'my' perfect folder.
