In 2010 I held out and only bought a Gayle Bradley and an M4/Ti Milli.

The 2011 lineup is going to rob me blind judging by the protos I've been seeing... Lets see:

1. Ti Fluted Native (dear sweet lord its beautiful)
2. Ti Fluted Milli
3. Caraca
4. Tuff
5. Revised Yojimbo

And I've heard rumors of a supersized manix concept and a super sized persian.
My wife might have to go back to work.

You mean the Navaja? :confused:
Carraca is the sound the knife makes as it is opening or closing:

I feel ya, bammann.

For 2011, I'm going to get the following:

Chaparral (maybe two)
Lum Tanto
Navaja

Hopefully I can keep it down to just those models but I can't guarantee it. :)
 
On preorder for 1 Para 2 CTS-20CP, 1 Navaja. I plan to purchase 2 Yojimbo 2s...

Then I need to calm down a bit, I think. Can't spend too much more...
 
Yes, this year looks much more dangerous to my wallet that last year was. And you list doesn't even include the sprint runs.
 
Just got my Superleaf this morning and I've got my eye on a few more. The Lum tanto for sure!
 
I am planning to get Navaja,probably two of them, both natives, Des Horn, Vallotton, Manbug, and Damascus Delica

Oh No. I just saw pics of the LionSpy in the Amsterdam thread. I am doomed.
And the Tuff pics are making me crazy as well.

Tied for first place: Tuf and LionSpy
Close second: Ti Native
Third: Navaja
4th: Ti Milli.

The Tuf *will* be mine.
 
I'm really overwhelmed with everything shown so far from the Amsterdam meet. If I was to just remain calm and go for just one out of pure interest alone, I would have to say the Des Horn. Of course, 2011 is not going to be a "calm" year at all. :D
 
Folder so far.

I've already pre-ordered the Yo2, but the Chaparral, DiAlex Junior, and the fluted Native 5 are very appealing as well.

Ha! That's precisely all I bought last year too. :thumbup:
At this stage all I'm planning to buy this year is the G10 Persian.

There sure looks to be some nice future additions to the family in the new proto line up though apart from a couple of "work folders" (Tuff and Yo 2") nothing really interests me that much... that's good for me though, I can focus on finding those elusive grails, as more and more these days I seem far more interested in the older Spydies.
