Your Dream Strider Military 889.....

[Mudflap]

I've been carrying the all-black Buck/Strider Military 889 at work for a couple of weeks now and it's been a great knife. Seeing what jefff has done to his (Reviews Section), I was thinking...............if you were going to have Buck build a limited upscale version of this knife, what would you like to see? Keeping in mind we're talking about a production deal here so the sky's not necessarily the limit.......my choices:

Full flat ground blade in BG-42 or ATS-34 with a satin finish like the other Buck/Striders OR a black blade in a tough finish, (keeping a nice, strongly ground tip), Bos heat treat,

All torx screws and G-10 handles with a composite back spacer along the last half of the handle,

Titanium liners (but could live with stainless),

What else? What would others love to see in their dream production 889?

I would really like one with steel liners and a lockback. Aluminum scales would be cool too. But I would really like to see a Strider/Buck collab with a lockback. Did I mention making it in a lockback?

I've had one about a week now, and really like it. definitely a "heavy use" folder.

Maybe lose the black finish on the blade?
