Just a quick thought: On this website, the catalog pics of each knife show one knife open, and the other closed (or sheathed). I think it would be really helpful to have one picture of the spine profile of each knife when open. This would help to give some idea of the ergonomics and thickness of each knife, the blade thickness relative to the rest of the knife, liners, etc.

Honestly, I have never seen a Native III in person, nor a Paramilitary, but pics like this would help to give potential ELU's a rough idea of what these would be like in their hand. This seems like something that Kristi would have some say in...

Good idea or bad idea???

-JeffWell Jeff, the only "problem" is that a lot of them would look very much alike from the top. The Native III is an exception to that, as the photo below, comparing it with a regular C41 Native...

Then there's the issue of scale. I really have not scrutizied this years catalog in that regard, but past ones have had different knives shown in different scales, so even side view size comparisons are difficult. I think that unless all models were drawn in the same scale, top views would not be very useful, and might actually prove misleading.
