Shot Show 2020 wish list and observations

The tanto PM2 looks much more interesting than anticipated. I’m pretty certain to get one...I just wish it wasn’t black.

I’ll pick up a Native Chief in Rex if the opportunity presents.
 
Becker Knife & Tool BK-18 "Harpoon" caught my eye.
Production model will have the traditional BK&T coating as opposed to the smooth coating of the prototype and apparently will have tan handle scales.
My favorites are the NK-5 and BK-15. I told Ethan that the BK-18 looked like the BK-15 and BK-17 had a baby! I meant that in a good way - as a hunter, I do like trailing points.

BTW: can you tell that Ethan, the chef that he is, also designed a knife with a handle to first cutting edge distance not unlike many chef's knives?

I can see this as my new guttin' skinnin' deer camp onion dicin' martini olive stabbin' pepperoni slicin' knife!
 
Bench made Mini bugout
Spyderco Siren
But the biggest insta purchase for me would be the Protech Malibu, button lock with amazing action, clip, it just rocks

That Siren is fairly interesting. It's already available at one of our supporting vendors too, so that's cool.
 
Lot's on my list, some before SHOT (like the Siren) which is going to be sweet, folding brother to the Waterway fixed blade. Also, the CRK small Sebenza 31, even though I think it was showcased at last years SHOT, correct me if I'm wrong? I'm seeing more and more people receiving their pre-orders. I'm holding out if the insigno blade to be released down the road.

Anyways, here's my most wanted.

BM orange 533 Mini Bugout
Spyderco Siren
Spyderco Para 3 LW with the new steel SPY27
Native 5 LW SPY27
Para 3 S45N
 
I made a mistake, I thought it was already in stock at BladeHQ, but it's just the presale. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the clarification. I was just about ready to go into hyper-search mode on the net!

Much appreciated sir.

I liked that little Kershaw Hub keychain knife they're putting out and also Spyderco's PM2 in a tanto that the owner was showing in the BladeHQ video looks nice.

The new Becker harpoon
Spyderco Para 2 Tanto
All Black yojimbo
The new 5160 buck fixed blades
Benchmade Bailout with aluminum scales
The new tops handles with g10 and rubber together
The new FN SCAR-L pistol......oh wrong tread
 
The new OKC shikra looks really cool. Titanium framelock, micarta scale, aus 8 blade on bearings for like $55 the rep said.
 
WE is absolutely killing it. Love probably half the designs I've seen from them so far. Some of these other big name manufacturers(coughBENCHMADEcough) need to step it up.

But I haven't been paying much attention. I just follow WE on Instagram so I've seen all of their stuff .
