Hi all-

I don't have the product and do not plan to manufacture it BUT I'm curious how many people are interested in a 9009 or other classic sets for buckling spring boards such as Model M & F. If there's enough interest, I can do some research to see if it's possible to find people to produce them. Any idea is welcome. Thanks!

Definitely interested. I guess you'd need for 9009 is some accent keys. Honeywell would look pretty dope on BS. I also think GMK Samurai, Dolch, nines and serika would look good.

AFAIK the main custom cap players like SA and GMK dont have existing tooling for BS caps. Unicomp does (obviously) but their previous attempts at custom caps have been...unwhelming.

It's a hard sell, really. The majority of BS users are interested in the utilitarian benefits. Coupled with the scarcity of BS users (compared to modern customs) and I dont see how this could be done economically. Your best bet is with a muted, popular colorway like the 9009 suggested in the OP. I'd eat my hat if something like Pulse was able to meet MOQs for BS caps.
