I wish I were a drunken fool.

Only boxes I can check are:
√ Paranoid
√ Schizophrenic

Hopefully that's enough

All I can say is, God smiles on fools and drunks. I pretty much check both boxes.

I've gotten into some foolish drunken shenanigans, is that enough? :D

When you tire of those old things, be sure to let me know so I can dispose of them for you. ;)
 
So as not to derail the thread too much, my top three are these, in no particular order.

Battle Saw



MOABM that I swapped snakeskin scales from a CGFBM onto



And a BIG ASHBM that I modded by grinding a birds beak into the butt, taking a little bit out of the top of the handle to better mimic the old SHBM, making new micarta scales, filling the holes in the tang with antimony, and installing the scales with copper tubing. It's quickly become one of my new favourite knives.

 
Tyrade83 fantastic looking blades!!!! Those are some well thought out mods!! Nice job man.
 
Well, IIRC, there were 6 new Bussekin this year. The four pictured below, plus a Basic 8LE and an INFIManDu.





Tough call. I will probably flip the KDSH and Du. Brings it down to 4.

The Elmax variant and the B8 performed well in the field, so they make the grade.

Really haven't used the other 2, but the 1311 Scimitar variant just looks so damn cool...
 
Top Three (3):

3) Busse saber grind AK-47 CG, used, stripped, sharpened by Norcalblacktail and moving towards BIG SF, the home version, as I figure how to remove the de-carb w/o removing digits or screwing up that fine edge while trying to get it to look good enough. INFI mid-blade-length Wakizashi. 'Nuff said.
2) B.I.G. SF ASHBM with black canvas, new. Hog heaven for me. HEAVY DUTY CHOPPER.
1) B.I.G. SF TG with Tan & Black G-10, used. Can't stop grinning and want to take it with me everywhere but open carrying this knife makes sheeple (read - most people) nervous. One of the 'I can only have one knife?' knives.

Best of the rest in no particular order, all new:

BIG AMS, black G-10. Replaces an (SH) Mean Street sold earlier. Love the design and size. May just keep and use the Lean Mean Street I like it so much.
MOR KDSH, sage - Fun to chop with and holds a fine edge. They may be on to something with this SR 101 stuff.
SOB CG, sage & black canvas. Replaces the old A2 SHBA I sold with a new INFI one that I will use.
BGTG, sage & B C. Was exited about this one until I scored the BIG TG between the CC ding and receiving it. It'll find a good home on the EX.
SR Rucki, sage w/ black & green G-10. Long knife? Short sword? Short blade length Wakizashi in SR 101.
BG ASH-1, sage + black canvas. I miss my thinner ASH-1s (but I do still have my HOG ASH) and I'm trying to cull the herd, not let them breed like hogs or rats. That way lies madness and banckruptcy. Damn having means in which I must try to live.
Another Rucki. Id, what did I just say about that? But Superego, they're all cool, choppy and slashy! Oh, OK. (Frowny face.)

As always, a busier and much more interesting year for me when I get mixed up with those 'no good Hogs, Rats and Dogs at that Bladeforums place on the other side of the net'.

Happy New Year to all.

Well, I don't have any in hand yet, because I'm a noob... But I'd have to say TGBG, BGHR (or is that HRBG?), and probably the BGDTBM. Although the TG-M (TGM?) will be a strong contender against the TGBG, I'm pretty sure. Will be excited to get the BAe, but I don't think it's a top contender yet.
 
AMS: Didn't think I would like this as much as I do, it's easily my most often used and carried. Really love this blade. Sterile and double cut (insert joke here).

Scrapyard 1111: Perfect combination of size, Res-C, and rock solid SR101.

HDDD: I let this one go, but was so fun as a project. Sometime these projects don't go so well, and you regret it,, this one came out great.

Thats tough- There are a lot of just plain good knives I got this year, and some badass, but I'm going to say these 3 because they are unique one-off customs, 3 of my favorites and I'll most likely never sell them.
-Rodent 6 variant
-Team Gemini Bowie
-Boss Jack fighter.
I got the R6 at bladeshow---the TG and BJ I actually bought in 2014, but they were customized in 2015, so I got them in their current form this year (does that count?)



 
The top 3!!

1: Ofcourse the B8 has to be on the top spot of the year!! :)

2: was so lucky to get this one off custom shop Hell Razor [emoji12]

3: The must have in the collection Satin Jack Tac!! Just an awsome blade [emoji41]

This was a great knife year for me plus all the 2 weeks offerings that i didnt get yet.
