Knives on your "must have" list from SHOTSHOW 2016

Could not resist, splurged and bought the Protect TR5 last night. Should be an exciting day when the package arrives! The coolest part about the whole ordeal was that i literally told my self "why am i watching Pro-techs new offerings, I've never been a fan!", then literally two minutes later "holy jesus on a cross, thats one of the most beautiful things I've darn ever seen!". Well i guess such is life! Needless to say, I haven't been this excited about a knife in a long time!

LOL, I had one in the ol' cart on a website the other night. I tried to checkout and their website was having issues so I gave up.
 
Actually looking at a couple of the CRKT offerings. I like the new drop point Minimalist and the Birler Hatchet.

Some of the new Benchmade and Spyderco offerings look great, but I'm poor at the moment.
 
My jump back to Spydercos after selling them all off.....

The Ouroboros and ATR are now on my Want List :D
 
Nothing that I've seen yet has really caught my fancy. I may not get anything this year.

Then again, I don't get a new knife most other years either, so I guess not much has changed.
 
I have to own one of those new BM Mini Barrages with the grey G10 scales. I imagine that I will probably have to get a G10 Mini Grip, as well..
 
The Nirvana. It's my grail for 2016. I just hope we see a release soon- anyone have any idea about a date? Rumors being what they are, I preordered one when they were "expected" in Nov/Dec '15. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.

I'm also pumped for the ATR. Really digging the 2016 stuff out of Spyderco.

OTOH, as a ZT nut I'm not so excited about their new offerings. The 0095 is about the only one that I find interesting. Maybe the 0392's have me spoiled?
 
Most of the Condor stuff. Some of the Kershaw stuff interests me(Launch 5, Westin, CQC-9K, Valmara) but none of them are absolute must haves for me either. ZT and Spyderco designs I like are too pricey for me.
 
Kershaw Induction
Kershaw Grinder (looks almost like a budget Spyderco Yojimbo 2)
Spyderco Sage 5
Spyderco Ouroboros
Spyderco Pattada
CRKT Amicus
CRKT Buku
CRKT Jettison

and a few others whose names I am forgetting.
 
FINE! You twisted my arm and now I have one on the way as well. I disapprove of your enabling tactics... ;):D

Hahaha! I knew I'd get someone. I was at the local "Big Box Bass Shop" and sold more knives than the guy behind the counter. He says to me, "you should work here" to which I replied, "then I wouldn't be able to afford my hobby"
 
I'm looking forward to picking up a Benchmade Foray to pair with my 761 for use at work. I like that BM has started using 20cv on numerous models.
