Two Things for 2016

November 27, 2015 22:50

Okay, two things occurred to me that really need to happen in 2016...

The manual only version of the 7505.

A new LE 581.

This HAS to happen.

I mean in addition to all the rest - the 5.5" folder, the Sibert Scout fixed blade, the usual calls for more 940 LEs...

Oooooh yeah!
Absolutely, we need a manual only 7505!
I've definitely had this on my wishlist for a long while. Slipped my mind though. We've got to realize that there's a ton of places we can't carry autos. I'd be ecstatic to see the transition to a manual only... Hope it happens one day.

Po: Just currious, what have you got in mind regarding a 581 LE? What would you hope to see?

I'm also dying for a LE 581......different blade shape, some type of jimping maybe??
It is such a great and sexy knife....id love to see what BM could come up with!
I'd also LOVE to see a LE 943......LSCF and M4 would be super sweet!!

a manual 7505 would be killer, TIP UP for love of the gods please.

Some new collaborations would be nice as well.

The only thing that needs to happen in 2016 is to make the Rift with M390 or CPM-20CV or CTS-204P. That is all. Nothing big, flashy, or expensive. Just a better steel!

This one should be real easy, just need a sponsor I guess. Mostly I'm hoping for a solution to the Reynold's Wrap finish on the bolsters. I'd love to see something like the SHOT show 586-1401. Mebbe KW could do their usual blu/blk thing with blue or black anodized bolsters. Heck, a KW LE with no bolsters would be cool.

But really, I'd be happy with any color anodization on the bolsters and almost any color G-10 or CF on the scales. Can't really do any better than M390 for the blade steel so...

Mark:
How much was the 750 MPR? Under $300, right?

Should be able to do the larger version for under $500 easy enough...

For me, I would love to see a change to the Volli. I would like to see a manual version of the 1000001 Volli with and upgraded blade steel. I really think the Volli would be much more popular as a manual knife and the upgraded blade steel can only help the sales. There is precedent for this, the 615 was released as a regular production manual and several of the limited editions were assisted openers. No reason that this can't work in reverse. For me a manual Volli with the current standard black G-10 scales and an S90V blade would be PERFECT!!!!

You could get the 750 for under $200 at times, mostly in the $250 range.

If the proposed knife is under $300 I am cool. I just really can't swing $300+ knives very often or at all.

I agree Volli can use dress up, but with S30V it already have nice steel.

I would say that Volli and 531 seems to have similar blade, so I would get 531 first.
