Better yet, a Manix XL in MC, or even a bigger one: Manix XXL with5-6 inches, maybe?

Manix XL will never be a "better yet" to the C95.. in my opinion..

2 different animals of the same family..
One is a house cat and the other is the King of the jungle! Lol..

I cut a lot of cardboard at work. For whatever reason (maybe the finer grain structure), Larrin’s testing has shown s110v to have inferior edge retention compared to s90v with my type of workload.

I'm with ya, on this!
I think his tests showed s110 to only be a little better, at one thing and lower at the other 3 things, compared to s90v.

From what I've gathered, in use, is that I like s90 much better.
Both sharpened the same and sent through the same tasks.. s110 just ended up with more chipped edge.
 
My other wants would be a military, paramilitary 2, or street beat with Magnacut.

Bring back the Perrin Street Beat and Street Bowie, with stainless and micarta!

I'm actually satisfied with the light frn handles on the current models but would really like to see them made with Cruwear, REX 45, K390, Magnacut, CTS XHP, or some such. Maybe a slightly wider blade profile as well, but I'd be happy with updated steel.
 
GB Air rerun.

Maybe change the scales to micarta or black cf/G10 like the GB1/2. Maybe give it an M390 blade, maybe stick with M4 or another non-stainless tool steel like K390. Would just like to see some more of that model.

Other than that I'll second the comment for an upgraded steel/production Astute.

I gave up hope on a larger version, so I had one made with armored 3V core :D

Slysz "Slicer" Bowie with <0.1" blade stock in Magnacut or Cruwear @64 hrc, hollow ground to <.01" behind the edge. Take my money.
 
I would love a PM2 XL. Like a PM2 with a 4" (or even 4.5") blade that was a little wider. Basically a Manix 2 XL but with compression lock and tip down carry positions. And also in 4V and/or Magnacut.

The Astute is my favorite spyderco design and while the quality is good for the price, I'd really love a premium version made in Golden with a higher end steel. Magnacut would be awesome but I'd be happy with anything S35vn or better.

YES!!!! I really hope that Astute will be the next model after Tenacious and Resilience to get upgraded S35VN blade! I would really like to see a “small tank” Lil Native with backlock and steel liners, plus an upgraded blade steel M390/CPM 20 CV or Magnacut. Last but not least, new Lum Chinese with M390/CPM 20 CV or Magnacut blade steel and exclusive G-10 or Micarta, maybe Raffir Noble scales.
 
I’d be onboard for a 3.5” Native 5…..I’d also like to see more stone washed blade finish’s similar to the S30V Shaman, on a Para3, PM2, and Native 5*.
