Not really sure, but maybe a small folder mimicking the style of the USMC fixed blade, also in 1095? I might try drawing a picture some time tomorrow.

I like this idea. That would be an awesome addition to the lineup.

I like the idea Ian, or sort of KA-BAR answer to the SOG Trident...

The 'fuller' could be a place to open it with your thumbnail, and a wave open (like an emerson) would be nice, so long as it didn't change the overall look.

kabar has something close to a trident, its the KA-BAR #3052.... it looks cool...

The mule? Yea, it does seem like a good design, and lock back, so no possibly dinky liner locks, but the Trident is assisted, so I'd like to see basically a Mule with either wave or assisted, and if assisted a thick liner lock.

y didnt i think of that... an assisted opening ka-bar would be great...

And while some people will say you can get a thumbstud/hole open just as fast as an assisted/wave if you know how to, but a wave you have to snag, and thumbstud/hole you need to have a lot of thumb movement (with normal opening), but assisted you just need to engage it and, SHHNIK, you got yourself a nasty blade.

This helps you have a positive grip faster.

I've noticed when opening my Endura that my hand is lower than I want it to be right after opening, and having my hand higher prevents me getting it open, with assisted you could just flick it.

dang it. I did it again, a text wall.

The only change I'd like to see is for them to steer away from so many coated knives. I would love to see more bare or polish finished knives. I know they aim for tactical non-reflective but think many of their current production knives would just look GREAT without the coatings. Yes they do offer some but IMHO, not enough.
