I don't think INFI is in the cards. If you want an infi knife there are the Busses. I would like to see a shaker style blade in Minfi (modified infi, aka Busse basics) but I doubt we will see it either. SR101 is a nice steel for smaller blades with better edge holding but less toughness than S7. A 3 inch scrapper Nessmuck in D2 would make an amazing EDC. I have always liked the Ontario Rat3.
A folder made of a good tool steel with a blade coating would not have a rust problem and would attract a lot of the people like me who don't like stainless.
With a tool steel like D2 (which the swamp used on smaller blades) can be made harder (62 rockwell) with better edge retention and toughness than a comparable stainless. Another advantage of tool steel is it is much cheaper than comparable
stainless.

TOOL STEEL RULES!
