2025 first knife purchase?

I've been out of the knife game for a while. I bought a whole lot, sold off quite a few more then I finally just settled on my favorite design which talked to me the most.

Carrying my favorite design for years now, I pulled the trigger on the current version of my old favorite which arrived yesterday.

Have a standard chopper from CPKs and another order from a different brewer on line and am hoping that’s it 🤔. Actually thought is was done last year but I was wrong, go figure 🦖

Hahaha....Just seeing This now....
Yup!
I've got a tall order to fill.
I'm trying to arm wrestle mine into your top edc position! :P
 
There is not much i like that I can afford at the moment, or at least can justify buying. I won't own something I won't use, and I generally like knives in the $500-$1k range, and don't want to ruin a pretty anodized knife.

In the realm of more affordable knives, a Spyderco Military 2 in an interesting steel I don't yet have is on the list. Maybe for my birthday coming up, we'll see.

Also maybe a Spymyto.

Get that Spymyto while you can, it’s a one time only variant and it’s truly a fine knife. (IMO)
 
As the year progresses, I've been eyeing a Spyderco Bodacious more and more, but I don't know if I really need it, since my knife needs are pretty much well covered at the moment and I already came a compression lock Spyderco and the Bodacious wouldn't do anything I can't already do with my knives.

The thought of getting into higher-end knives is getting stronger as well, I've been playing with the idea of ordering a CRK - though I can't decide between a Sebenza or Inkosi (but I know I want an Insingo blade :D) (nor do I really get what's so different between the two) or an SHF, but to me, spending about 600€ on a knife is somewhat ludicrous at the moment ... I guess I'll wait and see how the year goes on.

I held a Bodacious last week at a knife shop. It felt great in hand, but I did not buy it because it was in what I refer to as the basic Spyderco Amish suit. Black G10 & S30v. Change either material and I'll likely jump on it. Very good design, IMO.
 
Bought a Boker badguy. I'm having Gary Greely build a zombie sheath for it. Its rad and you may have seen one offered for sale. (Fits really nice in my hand. And size is just right but I can't bore you with pictures until I get it back)

Not to be a Debby Downer but have you seen what I suspect is a knockoff coming out of Morocco?
