MY KNIFE PURCHASES FOR 2012 RANKED BY FAVS.—HOW ABOUT URS?

The year is almost done and I purchases way too many Blades this year. But I figured I’d rank them. This was my year of the Blades- Firearms did NOT have my interest this year. So I just went nutz with blades, I can honestly say- this sickness is way harder to kick- than any other sickness- in the past 5 years.

I would be interested to see other blade forum users- 2012, purchases.

My Damage for the year- ranked.

1. SPYDERCO TUFF (my #1 kick azz blade of the Year)
2. SPYDERCO TI-FLUTED
3. ZT 560
4. BENCHMADE MINI ONSLAUGHT
5. SPYDERCO CHOKWE
6. BENCHMADE GRAVITATOR
7. SPYDERCO YOJIMBO
8. SPYDERCO CENTOFANTE
9. SPYDERCO SOUTHHARD FLIPPER
10. SPYDERCO SZABO
11. SPYDERCO MINI BALI
12. BENCHMADE 745 DEJAVOO
13. SPYDERCO NILIAKKA PEKKA
14. SPYDERCO PARA BLUE IN M390
15. SPYDERCO VALAETON

17. SPYDERCO PUUKKA
18. BENCHMADE SNODY HYBIRD
19. BENCHMADE ADAMES
20. BOKER NANO
21. TNP MICROTECH
 
i will list my top ten that I still curently own

1. Ken onion custom
2. XM-18
3. Southard flipper
4. Sebbie 25
5. PM2 M390
6. Strider Sng
7. Gayle Bradley, or now known as Bradley folder
8. Caly Damascus sprint
9. BM 42
10. Spyderco Superleaf
 
The last knife I bought was a large left hand Sebenza for my birthday Nov 2011. The temptation has been hard with all the new knives this year but I get more enjoyment from my automotive hobby than I do cutting stuff.
 
Hm, for me it would be:

1. Southern Grind Bad Monkey- for now this is my perfect edc folder. It's pretty much made me stop buying folders.
2. TRC Knives TR12-S- the perfect fixed edc
3. Boker Tree Barlow- sentimental reasons
4. Bark River STS-8
5. Composite Leek

There's still a few days to add more to the list. It's still 2012 and I have a couple in the mail!
 
Some of my favs were very recent.

Spyderco DLC S30V/camo PM2.
Spyderco S30V Manix2.
1660RED Leek, House of Blades exclusive.
OD Kershaw Blur.
A couple of CS Recon 1's.
 
Keepers:

Small lignum vitae Sebenza
Mammoth ivory and Spirograph mnandi
BF annual trapper
GEC ivory half congress
BHK patch knife
Svord peasant
Opinel #6

Can't rank them. They are all so different. I will say the Sebenza is my EDC.
 
They were all nice. Now I'm not saying it's the best, but the biggest surprise was probably the Spyderco Superleaf I picked up on disco blowout. Good bang for the buck.
