The first spyderco you will buy in 2016?

Here are pictures of the Mantra. I told a little lie at the post office to intercept it before delivery. Shady, I know...

It is essentially a flipping Delica with the blade shape of the Tenacious and full Ti/pillar construction. Unbelievable flipping action with the bearing system.

Thats a great looking knife, used to have a buck vantage flipper, flipped it 24/7.
To bad the screw of the handle was dull and the store I bought it from glued the whole thing together. :-/
Just as it happends, 1 hour ago the importer of american knives in the Netherlands, named Adola, mailed me because I've send them a complain about the store owner who was telling me, he send it to Buck, and the reparation was performer by Buck...

Looks not logical to me, that Buck knives would glue a knife together. Anyway, an other store helped me, gave me my refunds, and I used it for a nice Spyderco. :-)

Think next to the PM2, this Mantra also entered my wishlist. :-)
 
God willing, may he bestow patience on me for I am treading in a world of temptation to grab another Spyderco before the CPM M4 PM2 becomes availuable... or it could be because I am broke (financially lol)
 
Changed my mind. My first Spyderco in 2016 is going to be a HAP40 Delica.

I just picked up my first Spyderco of 2016..
A Foliage Green Delica sprint run!
Oh how the collection grows!
 
I might get the Brian Tighe collaboration for my Birthday. I've wanted one of his knives for about a decade now.
 
Well, I just got my 1st PM2 in the mail yesterday. Now I see why all the praise for this knife.
I love it! Really, really nice. Its my 7th Spyderco, and right now my most favorite. I like the compression lock!
 
Have a S110V PM2 on the way. Was thinking hard about one of the HAP40 series, maybe Stretch or Endura, was also trying to hold out for the M4 Paras, but S110V in the Paramilitary? Had to pull the trigger.
 
Ouch.. just looked at the price increases at the Canadian online retailer I buy from. I was thinking about buying quite a few spidies this year but I might have to make some cuts. (no pun intended) I love Spyderco, and I understand prices need to go up sometimes, I just wish wages would go up in relation price increases In general. I work just as hard as ever but I feel progressively less well off.

I'd like to get myself an m4 military or pm2 in 2016, and about a dozen other models! Haha
 
Either Serrated Delica (VG10 or H1) or a SpyderInox Rambler (a Victorinox Rambler with Ladybug blade mod).
