If you're talking  mofifying existing patterns for a USA Case Tactical,  I'd suggest modifying the hawkbill and the Case 72 pattern clasp knife.

Great idea, Clint.

I find that my Trapperlock is a good knife. The size (4 1/8" closed) is OK for me; I can carry the knife in my pocket or in a belt sheath. I appreciate that it has kept the same clip blade shape as the trapper, but stronger due to the saber-concave grind. The action of the blade is very smooth, the engraved thumb stud allows an easy one-hand-opening, and the liner lock is firm enough. 

I could consider getting such a yellow composition new Trapperlock, though I’m not a fan of clips. 

A modified Copperlock would be cool, too. I really like this 4 1/4"  lockback pattern (61549L). Case Legend Tom Hart combined elements from two great classic Case knife patterns (Trapper and Copperhead) to design this entirely new lockback knife. 

I should probably buy a yellow composition one, too, for I can’t decently EDC the only one I have yet:

Steve, Jean and Billy....

I have two of these single bladed Case trappers with the liner lock, thumb stud and pocket clip.  I have been EDC the yellow handle version and found it to be very handy and an excellent functioning knife.  I love this knife.  If you are a Case fan you just have to get one of these.  I have been talking to Fred at Case about converting a traditional line of single bladed knives into a tactical folder for the Case lovers who are not too keen on buying an off shore brand.  Fred told me there were things in the works.  I suggested for them to take the larger Case swing blade Coke bottle and add the pocket clip, thumb stud and liner lock.  I told him they would sell and pave the way for Case to enter the tactical knife business wherein all of the tactical knives would be made in the "USA".  We will see.......

Yes, it’s a liner lock. 4  1/8“. I found an interesting discussion about this pattern, about its positive aspects and flaws, and about the advantage of having a clip put on :

I think I would like to have one. I usually carry a 4 1/2" tactical type piece on me along with something smaller in one of my other pockets. Is that a linerlock? If it is it would be even better, except I treat most of my liner locks and lockbacks pretty rough sometimes.

Hi Steve, you mean these with a clip?

Well... They have a clip ;=(
