Shot show 2018, new spyderco knives!

A S90V PPT would be wicked. I'm not some secret crime fighter/martial artist, but I've always liked the design on the original PPT.

I would be happy with just a steel upgrade and keep everything else the same, for some reason I really dislike the texture on most of Spyderco's carbon fiber(some models more than others).
 
That Jerry Brouwer is one of the best looking knives I have ever seen! So simple in its design and looks like perfection for EDC! I am so excited to see this model and will be pre-ordering the second it hits. Anybody catch the blade steel on that one? I hope s30v, s35v or cts-xhp. (yes I love me some s30v!).
 
I just posted a WTT thread looking for a Mantra 1. I might need to take that down and wait for the Mantra 3.
 
Mantra 3 looks bitchin if the price isn't crazy. S30 seems... not bad but underwhelming compared to M4. The Mantra 1 is a great knife so I'm on the fence about the compression lock. If the price is right I'm in but something tells me its going to be more than I want to spend.
 
The all ti Mantra 1&2 are going for around $190. I would guess the 3 should be in that ball park.

Just wondering what you guys think about the Mantra 3 in the $190 price range? For me its a tough call I really like the Mantra 1 and the 3 does look badass but for ~3" folders I already have 2 Para 3s, 3 Delicas, Mantra 1, Native 5 S90V, as well as small Sebenza, mini grip and a few sweet ass Emersons. Think I'll wait to see what people say about it when it comes out but seems like a lot of $$$. Is it just me?
 
Mantra 1 has surprisingly no hotspots. You can really exert force on it with bare hands. For a knife this size its remarkable in my book. The 3 looks awesome but if you use it hard its going to let you know. Otherwise it's going to be very fidget friendly.
 
The Smock is a winner; probably a must buy for me. Aaaand, after much lusting, the Techno 2 looks like it might be a smidge too small for me. Oh nooooo! :( I’ll have to get one in hand. It still looks fantastic!
