So a "Sage 6" with a CBBL
Hey that sounds cool 👏

After all, the Sage series is about offering different locking mechanisms... it'd only make sense to add a CBBL variant.

Here is my answer…

But seriously the Kapara works incredibly well in this size, and is probably my favorite knife.

Basically a linerlock PM2 with the Millie choil and the Millie blade angle would be very nice indeed.... tip up carry option though, please... ;)

- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Hundred Pacer and Native Chief.

Alternately, a no frills Sage 4 backlock in FRN would fill the gap between the Native 5 and Native Chief.
Wow, yes! So, like a 50 pacer…though that suggests a more powerful venom and therefore an increase in magnitude, so maybe actually a 200 pacer?

The thread below has some comments about what a smaller one might be called :smlling-eyes

Lil' Hundred Pacer
Omg i literally just repeated history, thanks for the heads up! 🤦🏻

Some great answers so far- Tuff is a great one as is the modded Kapara. I’ll submit to you the Ulize would make a nice Lil’.

I know I said Bladechops and he’s awesome but I failed to mention Casper- a total Genius AND a fellow Spydiebro forum member… i.e. the folding Mule project and ANYTHING else that tickles his fancy that he wants to give the “Antman” treatment to 👊

All those mods look very appealing. Well done!
Even so, the small Kapara stands out from the crowd with that efficient choil.

I came up with a couple that I’d like to see made available for purchase:

The Police 4

The Stretch 2 XL

Both with full steel liners, sub 3” blades, and mid backlock.

Smaller versions would make it possible for a more discreet EDC carry, while still allowing maximum blade to handle ratios.

I’m generally not a big one for stuffing the most blade in a set of scales, but either of these downsized would be something.

Spyderco may have already done this in the past with the Police for all I know. I seem to remember seeing something floating around on the forum.
