I said it over there and i will say it here; a new Massad Ayoob would be an excellent candidate for the Wave feature !
With G10 handles and tip-up carry ofcourse,
I have to agree, I really liked mine. I'm still kicking myself for trading it away. :mad: :spyder:

Tell us more about what you would like to see.

Colored G10 handles (Tan, or Dodo blue) with four-way clip mounting. No special steel needed, unless you want to 'test' something new. :D
I dislike the Ayoob for its slippery handles, and that icepick thingy Mr. Ayoob designed for Masters of Defense; I expected a slicer so I was disappointed with that design. A run of G10 handled with 4-way clip mounting Ayoobs would get my attention again.
Much as I'd like to see this, being a lefty, the lack of an ambi clip would be a dealbreaker for me. Being primarily an SD knife, I think right handers would also appreciate the option of carrying it weak-side.

I would also like it with a g-10 handle and ambidextrous clip. Thanks Kristi. :D :spyder:

I like the sharp point. But why is the blade down at such an angle? It looks like a very nice knife. I would like one. Is this model made in Golden Colorado?

I'm up for what Wouter already suggested. I'd like to add PE and SE please. :D

The one I have has very good gription to it. I have heard this complaint before so after receiving mine the other day the first thing I did was check the grip factor and it was good! The one I have is brand new so maybe as they get older and more used they get slick. I don't know. :confused:
I like the forward blade concept, I was just never that enthralled with the knife itself. Maybe it's something with the blade profile, maybe if it was a bit fatter or leaf shaped, I'd probably enjoy the way it looks better. That being said, I've never used or held one before, and maybe my opinion would change greatly if I did.
It's a great knife guys, but I agree it needs g-10. The original was a little slick. :spyder: But I am ready for a sprint run of any kind for this knife. :cool:

Material-wise:
G10 and CPM S30V (ideally ZDP 189, but not much chance of that happening)
Minor changes:
4-way carry
Slightly deeper choils?
Wave
Major changes (and I mean things that will require a fair bit of redesigning):
Comp lock
A handle/blade change like the one on Dialex's Tarantula (see below) for an even more secure grip
Wharncliffe blade (now we're really changing things)
But still, I'd be happy with a rerun as it is.
