I didn't really purchase too many things this year. All 3, in order of my favorite(s):

1) Spyderco Para-military2 (hands down my favorite knife)
2) Benchmade 527
3) CRKT M21

I have hoping to get at least one more for Christmas but we will see.

I only bought one blade in 2011. I was a fan of the maker before even meeting him. I ended up talking to him at Blade Show and commissioned a custom piece of my own design. I gave him a CAD drawing on the last day of Blade and got the knife delivered a few weeks later.

Some of you familiar with these types of knives will see Hartsfield influence in Leu's work.
 
Harkamus, that looks mighty sweet. Is is a chisel grind, or double grind?


Chavez556, I would also love to get an Insingo. I know they do the micarta inlay on them, but I would love to see a wood inlaid model. That would be awesome!!
 
I became a Winkler fan buying two knives and ordered the RnD spike hawk. (Sorry Foxx I already have mine!.....and yeah it is awesome!)

Probably won't have another year like this for awhile.
 
I bought the finest knife i likely will ever own: early 1900 Jos. Rodgers Multiblade with ivory handles in truly mint or factory fresh condition. Can be seen in "Sheffield Exhibition Knives" pg. 212 upper left.
