Well it's November now, and it shouldn't be but a few months before we start hearing about new 2012 lineups.

As for 2011, I wasn't really impressed with Benchmade's offerings, or Spydercos (except the Navaja, really wanted one, but never could afford it). Cold Steel came out with a couple interesting designs, namely the new voyagers and gladius machete. Also, I got to pick up 4sevens Maelstrom X7, which I love. I've already been giddy over what may come in the 2012 lineup, so to pass the time:

-What 2011 products did you pick up that were home-runs or disappointments?
-What 2012 products can you (realistically) hope for?

Personally I want to see more CBBL products, more tri-ad products, and a completely new blue class axis lock knife from Benchmade.
 
I love the new Voyagers and think they did an awesome job keeping them at $28-$48. I'm looking forward to the 4" Counter-Point finally being released and the rarely mentioned Spyderco Tuff folder (hope it's still something they are working on)
 
+1 on Benchmade stepping up their game with some new affordable axis designs in the blue class, or even black class. There is always something interesting from Spyderco around the corner, sprint runs galore plus new models.
