1. THIN edges. I've seen your Spyderco regrinds and to me, that is a lot closer to the proper edge for a knife to have than 99% of what Is ee from factory knives. I'd love to see some smaller knives with real acute profiles, like 18 degrees inclusive and less.
2. Good sheathing systems. I typically EDC a large, locking folder, a small multitool and maybe a slipjoint. The reason I pick the locking folder over the fixed blade is mainly because it's easier and more convenient to carry. Granted I haven't tried many fixed blades and sheathing systems, but a good system of carry would mean anything I buy from you would come out for more than just some use out in the woods.
3. Interesting steel variety. Some plain 1095, some 62+RC 13C26 or similar and some of the steels that people mention you rarely ever see in knives, like M4 or S90V for example.
4. Variety of styles. A nice flowing cutting edge with some beautiful wood or stag scales, as well as single piece, more tactical style knives.
5. Kind of going back to #2, in addition to larger knives and medium general purpose blades, some smaller knives (3 inch blade or less) meant for a compact EDC would be nice to see. Any creative solutions for people like me that are on the fence with carrying a fixed blade would interest me. Something will a full sized grip thats very secure in the hand with a blade of 2.75 to 3.5 inches designed primarily for cutting but with a spine thickness to keep it tough (1/8 inch seems reasonable for this size to me?)
6. One more time, I would love to finally see some production knives with acute edges.
Other than that the comments about keeping away from the Busse style of production (Low volume limited runs that demand high price after the initial stock is sold in 1.23 seconds) and trying to keep the price down as much is reasonably possible for you guys. But hey, the better the knife, the more we're all willing to pay.
