I'd like to see the Military with just a bit more edge, at least enough to fill out the handle. You could squeeze another half inch in there easily. Probably number 1 on my list has to be the Dialex Junior..I know that knife was designed for kids but if the handle was made a bit larger and the blade grew with it, I would own one for sure.

Interesting thread "TBD" because it was just in the past 3 weeks or so I did a thread on how much I thought that a smaller scale, smaller bladed C-60 Ayoob model would be for a lot of guys and gals who need a smaller blade for their main EDC folder. I don't agree with all you have listed but what the heck we all like different models which is why Spyderco offers us such a great selection. But you have the DODO model in your "GROWER's" category which I highly agree with and I've even done a thread on that model and how great a bigger scale DODO would be especially if they would offer it in PE & SE both.

Two others I would put up in the SHRINKER's list would be the CHINOOK III and the JD Smith.

Two others I would put up in the GROWER's list would be the STainless handled RESCUE models C-14 & C-45 and the C-46 Lum Tanto Folder. Very interesting thread and I hope to see more AYOOB endorsements :D

I'd like to shrink the endura and grow the delica.

Somewhere between the two is my ideal edc blade.

This is an excellent question and I often have thought about this, no joke!

The Military (With all due respect to the current design), I would love to see it with a SABER GRIND and with a combo-edge.

The Enuff with a 4-5 inch long blade.

Tasman salt with a blade enlarged to 3.5-5 inches, sortof like the ole Spyderhawk.

Native with a 4-5 inch blade.

Sounds odd I know.

Jumpmaster with a point (sortof unrelated).

You beat me to the punch. I've asked for this a couple of times. Personally I'd like this Endelica/Delicura to keep the same scale as the Delica, ie, have a broader blade than a scaled down Endura. Also I would like a choil... but then we'd have the R model, as tvenuto has pointed out, and we can't seem to have that because its niche is occupied by the Stretch :confused:
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.

There's nothing I'd like to see shrink, there's already an abundance of <3" knives and I do like them, especially my Man bug's but I prefer a larger blade to carry along with a bug.

Grower:
PM2 - or a Military 2 with compression lock and tip down carry
Dragonfly (even 1/3" on the blade would be nice)
Cory

Upgrading to a Ti ATR once I sell my stainless ATR :)

Shrink the stretch by 1/2", that blade pattern and the choil set it apart from the Delica/Endura/Worker with which it shares so much else.

But honestly I'm OK with the UKPK drop point, the lock isn't strictly necessary...

still more knives than sharpening stones...

Grow the blade on the Delica to as close to 3 1/2 inches as possible .
The Caly 3.5 shows that its possible to get that blade length into a Delica sized handle .
Why haven't they made a Delica 3.5 ?
