So i have been looking around and couldnt find a thread like this.... but if there is one already I apologize. I recently bought a ESEE izula and I absolutely love this knife. After a good long time playing with it and cutting anything i could around the house, my mind began to wander. Long story short i began thinking about collaborations between different makers and manufacturers. So my question to you is what would be your ultimate or dream collaboration between 2-3 makers/manufacturers. The collab i came up with would be Busse and Esee to create the busula or buzula which all in all would be an izula with sr-101 or infi.
 
Michael Janich + DDR.

Let me elaborate. Take Janich's Jani-song, but let Darrel put his touch on it along with his Maxx-glide bearing system. Have the handles be made out of bead blasted titanium with Darrel's ETAC grip. I'll take the blade in s30v. I still love s30v. Blade shape...probably a bowie or drop point. Maybe even a dagger to make the design flow.

The video is kind of cheesy, but it shows how the Jani-song functions. I like the concept because bali-songs will probably put me in the hospital. The Jani-song is like a bali-song but safer. It flips just as fast. You can do tricks with it if you like.

You can't get one. They never hit production. They only made like 20 or so. The company that was supposed to manufacture it for Blackhawk couldn't get the tolerances right for Janich's liking. I probably shouldn't say which company that was, but it's one of the big "three."

Janich has one. Sal has one. The rest of them went to people that worked on the project as I recall. A few were sold at Bladeshow a few years back when they were announced.

Luckily, Spyderco now has the rights to the Jani-song. It may yet see the light of day.
 
thanks for the info. you dont have to say which one but is the big three refering to spyderco, benchmade, kershaw?
 
to be honest i would really like to see the izula 2 handle on a kershaw random task blade!!!
or izula 2 warncliff...... either one would be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Demko & Emerson.
 
Demko and sal. Both are into ethnic designs, and do a great job of interpreting them. We would have a really creatve folder that slices like the best spyderco + triad lock and cs rock solid construction
 
A framelock with the aesthetic of Chuck Gedraitis but with a Spyderco opening hole.
 
Himalayan Imports and ESEE. ESEE made, Rowen heat treated 5160 spring steel with a WWII model blade shape and better (see "large"), modernized handles with shaped micarta scales. Basically the same thing that Bill Siegle makes except production.
