Original jigged bone Kiwi with FFG blade like the Kiwi 4. VG-10 would be fine, Hugin pattern Damasteel would be a treat.

I would like a mid lock urban with a nice steel. Ideally a Golden made knife with red micarta scales and a 52100 blade,

I'm with you, OP. A compression lock, no-choil knife in carbon fiber and a really tough steel. Solid.

Sounds like the Caribbean is pretty close to that, at least the lock/no choil/toughish steel.

I can barely choose one knife to carry from day to day, no way could I design my ideal. Fortunately Sal brought back the Caly Jr. In Superblue so I am good for now. I think my ideal would fall along a Military styled pattern in a great tough steel like CTS-B75P or CPM Cruwear, blocky jimping, bank-vault lockup of RIL or Walker style. Polished 3d G-10 scales....

GB2 with a little longer cutting edge and squeeze in. CBBL lock into that profile.

Or Something similar to the Liong Mah KUF with a longer edge and CBBL again.

As you can tell I like the caged ball bearing lock. just give us new CBBL designs, a lot of them with long blades.
More CBBL please!

A knife similar to the sliverax but with a completely flat edge and with a 2mm stock m390 blade with a super thin grind and edge. I would also like it to have the button push compression lock to make it even easier to play with. Really any knife with super thin stock that is a flipper, has a compression lock and has m4 or m390 steal would be awesome. All the knives released at shot show or even the sliverax would fit the bill for me if they didn't all come in s30v

I hear ya. Eventually that may change with enough feedback. I get the yellow being a Salt thing, but I also suspect that eventually it will end up all black or at least have an all black (not DLC) option like most of the Salts currently have. Otherwise it's easy enough to dye. If that combo really is your dream knife, I'd go so far as to have custom scales made if everything else checks the right boxes.

I'd love to see LC200N make it into the Manix 2 LW.

Imagine if the Native, PM2 and Manix 2 were all available in Maxamet, LC200N and s110v. :)

Golden built 6.75” to 7” Dragonfly with linerless G-10 and XHP or Cruwear. And a stronger wire clip than normal.

The knife would have the sheepsfoot blade of the Embassy, only a little bigger, around 3.5". The blade would keep the false edge. That feature ties the blade together. S30V is the blade steel.

The handle would be carbon fiber lamanated G10 with standoffs making for an open construction. No bacspacer. The standoffs would be anodized blue as would the torx screws.

The clip would be the standard Spyderco clip.
