    CF Rookie

    I would love to see a sprint run of the Rookie done in CF.
    Just seems to be right.The Police was done in SS,G10 and CF,the Rookie was done in SS and G10.Seems like it would round out that model nicely.
    Even the Delica has been done in all 3,G10(I know its a Standard but close enough)CF and SS.

    The Rookie is a nice enough knife, but, for myself, can think of a few I'd put ahead of it on the list for CF runs. Calypso Jr and R2 are at the top of my list. Think it's time for something bigger than the Dragonfly with a good 50/50 choil and flat grind. Native, well behind those two, but still a strong third.

    Oh, yes. A big YES. I'm in. Prefferably linerless and wireclipped but any other option will do. Bring back the Rookie

    Big yes, I have the CF/Police/SE so I would really like a smaller version of it.

    I'm with Deacon too regarding the Caly jr. I don't have a Calypso jr, but I have read some good remarks of it. Preferably SE (of course), S30V or VG10 and with a sturdier clip as on the FRN version. I would buy that knife in a heartbeat( as I do with most knives lately, LOL)

    I was wondering why Deacon was hoping for a sprint that happened a few months ago.

    I carry a old g/10 Rookie often.

    I would have to save for it but it would be worth it

    Yep. I was going to say, "Uh, Deacon, ...." Then I noticed the date. Let's see, now, does that make me the fourth or fifth person to get sucked into the zombie thread?

    would be interested only if the blade was FFG. Anohter forumite had his Rookie FFG'd and it looks more awesome.
