Favorite new model purchase of 2017?

My favourite knife I got was my Clinch Pick. I had been lusting after one of these for years and years.

Its not a “new model” but the S90V/CF/Ti Knifeworks Military sprint is for sure my favorite knife of 2017
 
Okay.... It dropped in 2016, but I didn't land one till 2017. Nonetheless, the Spyderco Wolfspyder was my favorite catch of 2017.
 
Benchmade Bugout. By a large margin.

Spyderco Sprint Run Baby Jess Horn is cool, too... but just not as cool as the 535.
 
Spyderco Sliverax

Bought it based on the unique aesthetics, but it's turned out to be one hell of a cutter as well.
 
My new folder this year that I have been extremely pleased with is the Steel Will Mini Cutjack in M390 and G-10. Love this knife! Don't really know if it is new for 2017, but at the time I bought it, I had never heard of Steel Will.
 
Not all the I've bought but what has been received for 2017 , have one sitting at the post but cant get it until next week

This beaut. Surprisingly one of my favorites from 2017, wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. Close second favorite is my Reate K-3 Tanto

ZT 0850
I get that it’s polarizing, but the fact that it tends to stir emotion makes it even cooler to me. I really like this knife. It’s not inconceivable that I might even pick up a spare.

I was really appreciative of ZT’s 2017 lineup—even though some of the models DEFINATELY weren’t attractive to me. I like that they pushed the limits a bit in their production line. Some of it will stick, some of it wont. As a community, I think we’re better for it.

Cool thread, abbazaba abbazaba ! I've got lots of "new to me" models this past year, but not so many that dropped in 2017. One that I have some pics of and is a real favorite is the same as your OP--Spyderco Police4 in K390. I just love how long, slender, and great in both pocket and hand it is! I'll go through my stuff later and shoot a few more photos today before I post some others, coz "without pics, it never happened."

Happy New year, y'all!

Spyderco Caly hap40. Nothing like a Sprint Run to get you on an online hunt before they sell out.
