Purchases off BladeForums this year

[Barrettboy]

Hey guys, I thought it'd be interesting to hear what knives you bought from members and dealers here this year. Mine:

CRK TiLock (1st gen) with “BlueSteam” graphic - A sublime, chub-inducing work of art. It was up for 24+ hours; I’m stunned no one else picked it up. @Qbert_72, the seller, went above and beyond with his customer service.

Hinderer XM-18 3” Digital Camo Ltd Ed - I bought a Strider SNG this year and I was like, meh. Then I bought the Hinderer., and I heard the angels sing. The ergonomics and construction seem so much more well thought out. My only issue is the finger choil. It’s a bit too small and can bite you. I used a diamond file to blunt the point where the edge meets the choil.

Survive! Necker II - Again, I can’t believe this stayed up for more than a day. I’ve been after this one for years. Fits the hand very well, but the finger ring is perhaps a little chunky.

Alan Warren EDC - An amazing buy. Pure perfection. Just goes to show you that you don’t have to pay $1000 for a custom-made work of art. Exceptional customer service from @fogdart.

Kosa_PL neck knife - A nice little piece, perfect for my needs, even though the delivery and communication were majorly… problematic.

I recently picked up this custom slipjoint from maker Jim Allen. He makes a heck of a knife for the price.

Got a Benchmade Benchmite from @tiburon, had it out this weekend wowing the buddies. Was a heck of a fun time buying that one, as we had a bit of an impromptu passaround and some good laughs. Probably my favorite purchase of the year.

Picked up a Southern Grind Spider Monkey and a Ka Bar Jarosz folder in a package deal from @dfkdfk. Gave the Jarosz away as a gift to Papa.

A Cold Steel Kobun from @Organic556 that I gave as a gift...

Scored a Cold Steel Ti-Lite from @71rockstar that I also gave as a gift, and got another one from @Dark Aegis that I'll be giving away shortly...

Found a neat little HK Harley Davidson money clip knife from @rev_ep3 that will be given as a gift...

The Cold Steel Magnum Tanto IX from @nicksison is staying here I think...

There's more than that, but you get the picture.

I give away most knives I buy from here. Probably do the same coming up in 2018.

Surprisingly, I have bought little this year, but did sell quite a bit.

I picked up the Spyderco Byrd Wings from @dobermaniac

Maybe this year will bring more in, who knows!

These were aquired since August this year when I had my re-birth into the hobby after spending a few years on guns. I bought more off other forums, and even some local deals off Craigslist. A few of these have moved on to new owners, but in total from BF this year...

I got this CQC-8:

I got this 0560 that I had a scale made for:

I got this Mamba:

I got this Marauder (it's in my pocket right now!):

And I traded for this mint 970 (I love this one!):

 

[Kreyzhorse]

Too many bought and sold to name, but I just did pick up a Spyderco Vrango that I am anxiously waiting to get my hands on.

 

[Cow51]

Almost every knife I buy/trade I get off the exchange here, except for a Leatherman Squirt and Victorinox Pioneer. Some I got this year;

Only ones that currently remain are the Mantra and DF. I regret getting rid of the PM2, though.

 

[David45]

What model is that carbon fiber M4 Spyderco? Are those custom scales?
