I love my fluted CF Native and would really love to see a fluted CF Military.
Double sided CF with liner lock I guess?
Yes please...

:rofl Wow, we went off the tracks. I ask for a non-fluted titanium, others ask for fluted CF, and now fluted G10.

Sorry Op for the derail!

Whatever stirs up interest is all that matters. I really don't know why Spyderco wouldn't just make non fluted titanium versions of a lot of their knives in a similar way as how there used to be stainless versions. I'm sure cost is part of it but titanium is so popular I bet if they made basic slab titanium versions of the Native 5/Para 2+3/Manix 2 etc those would sell like crazy.

I would probably buy a fluted carbon fiber version but pass on titanium. The fluted ti scales on past models look amazing, but I really dislike metal scales in use. I'm not dropping that kind of money on a knife I don't like to hold.
