The steel doesn't matter so much to me. Don't know enough about them anyway.
Pocket clip is ehh. Depends on the design I guess. Don't want a knife tang sticking out of my pocket along with a knife clip showing, would prefer a pouch at that point. Unless you can somehow integrate the clip onto part of the tang? Doesn't seem possible.
Wood scales sound like they'd add too much production time / expense to the build if liners are necessary. Rather go with G10 in that case. Did like the black 'n' blue G10 just needed some grooves or the like to show more colour.

I get a new one from work every couple years. Usually through CFC contributions. There's always something wrong with them though, like you said. One had a rubberized base that fell off the first time I washed it (WTF? It wasn't left soaking either). Another one leaks if you don't crank down on the lid before sipping.
So, I'm mostly posting just for the updates. Because I'm in the market for one of these too.

I use a staple remover in a pinch, but own a metal-handled one (forget the make). They work okay.. when I can find them.
The Xuron one was recommended but I already had the metal one at that point. Which I still can't find to check. It worked good for the really small rings. Larger ones I could make do with the staple remover.

I want one. Not too sure on the colour options, would probably go with black. Seeing as how the multi-coloured G10 didn't really show too well on the first one.
Any chance at talking the digger of willies into doing some wood scales? I'd say MWDP but international shipping is a bitch.
Going to have a pre-order/pay option or how would you suggest to manage that?

Cheers on the Albatross. Picked one up. Already got the Resilience as a gift. The Albatross will be a practice knife for me, to make up for all the damn overtime lately. Going to mess around with anodizing it before starting on the Techno.

My car averages 33.9 mpg right now. Used to be higher when I was working at a different facility. I could coast on the way home and get almost 45mpg for that half of the trip. But it would really piss off the people driving to work in the morning, even though I was in the slow lane.
