So, What’s Next ?

I'm another one whose knife purchases follow no consistent plan of any kind. I know what I like, I know what I don't want, and I don't see anything, right now. I keep looking, and every time my cursor gets close to the "buy now" button, I think about the fact that the knives I have already do the job.
 
Almost certainly an OTF. Currently eyeing an Axial Shift, Heretic Manticore X or a Guardian Tactical Recon Elite. Which one will probably depend on availability and how much I feel like spending.

I got Axial otf for friend of ours and the knife is very well built and decently priced , I think you’ll like it if you get one. I’d say just above entry level otf
As for myself, I’ll be putting away $$ for Whaleshark… If I can’t find one that won’t cost me arm and leg, a Chinese Socom Bravo would be my second choice.
 
I hadn't really been looking at anything lately until I saw a picture of the ZT 0640. I haven't been super impressed with ZT the last couple years so I really haven't been paying any attention to them. I really like that 0640 though.
 
Knives I have on order; but are still "in process":
An Olamic Wayfarer 247 and another Olamic this one is a Wayfarer Compact
David Mary is building 2 for me: A Prevail, and something we're calling "Godzilla".
Further down the road: chis Reeve is gonna send me a left-hand Mnandi.
Oh! Busse has an order for a Hell Razor 2 from me also.

In too deep.. lol
 
I have been looking at the AD-10 as my first CS being the next possibility. It's not likely I'd carry it, just want a HD folder for the truck kit. Otherwise, a fixed blade from Bradford.
 
Earlier in the year, I ordered a CRK freedom flag 31. It’s about a year out.
Patiently waiting for a Spyderco military, but what jolts me the most is looking at what everyone else is carrying here and that prompting me to want to try one out.
So, yeah the last few knives I’ve gotten have been inspired from pics posted here.
 
I don't have a next at the moment. I oscillate between contentment with my collection and that itchy state where next starts to become a concern. The pendulum is currently at All Good; I'm not even browsing knife stores! 😲
 
I’m getting back into traditional bowies. I have a Bark River 1909 Michigan Bowie arriving tomorrow. I really want a Randall Bowie, but that’s a pipe dream for now. I’d order one now but I don’t feel like waiting till I’m 42 to receive it.
I did the 5 year wait when I was about your age.... well worth it! Saved $$ doing it too boot! Good luck unless you find something you like online, then GREAT LUCK!View attachment 1775907
 
I would like to buy a Randall I would use...but not sure I want to gamble on still being around when it's ready (and I wouldn't want anybody else lucking into my knife if I'm not)
 
I’m going to get a Boker mermaid next... NOT!! 🤣

I want to get of these three, though haven‘t decided which one yet.
AD-20
XM-18
umnumzaan
(and I’m sure I’ll get all of them eventually)
