I'd get a Speed Bump before they're gone. You won't be able to get a stud lock soon enough, and I really like my Spec Bump.
 
or on a different thought, the Spyderco Ladybug Tattoo is available, and you had the Dragonfly on the list, maybe a pair of Tattooed Spydies
 
That's A Good Idea. Really I'm Trying To Look For Some Knives I'll Really Wanna Hang Onto.
And With The Speedbump I'm Afraid I'll Eventually Wanna Trade It.
With The Groove I'm Sure I'll Keep It.
 
What's Been Your Favorite EDC So Far? Do You Have An Ounce Limit?
When I Handled A Groove The Actual "Grooves'" Edges Where Smoothed Not Sharp Like I'd thought. Plus, That Curved Blade Is Just So Darned Weird To Cut With.

In that case the Delica 4 FFG is probably a safe bet. It's so well designed that you'll like it more and more as you use it, and won't get tired of it even after you move on to more expensive blades. It fits my needs perfectly, and I've even heard of people who have narrowed down their collections to just a Sebenza and a Delica, or something like that.

Panel - I Really Love Anything With Nice G-10 Handles Or Good FRN. I Love My Endura, And I Love My Ladybug, I'm Trading For An Adventura. I Have To Say I LOVE The Manix 2, It Would Be My Favorite Or The ZT 0400. Unfortunately I Don't Have My Manix Or 0400 Anymore. =[ I've Thought Of Getting Another Manix 2, But Honestly If I Buy One, I Want One With A FFG Blade. They Don't Offer A Non Sprint Run With A FFG Blade.
I've Been Thinking On The Sage, Either The Sage 1 Or The Sage 3.
 
I have a Native DLC and I love it, so I'm voting for that out of the blades you listed. Around $65 I think. Great ergos, excellent blade geometry. One of those big things in a small package, er, things.
 
I turned 20 in august... It feels like time is running away from me, like i was 16 a week ago. :(
 
I Remember When I Was 16, But It Seems So Long Ago.
I Was Happy To Get Away From 16.

Anyways.

I'm Going To Edit The Post And Put More On The List!!! Help You Guys Out Some More.

You may be quite surprised if you keep your eye on the 'For Sale" forum. But if you have your heart set on a production blade, the Spyderco Sage 1 or Para-Military 2 are superb knives. A little more affordable recommends are the Dragonfly 2, Delica 4 FFG, and I also really dig the Kershaw RJ Martin designs. For something a little different, perhaps look at the CRKT Eros or Ripple... the IKBS is fantastic.
