XM-24 skinny about 10 days ago. Great blade. Also picked up a Pro-Tech TR4 earlier in the month.
Going to sell a few and gifting a few away this year. Picking up the Gen 5 XM-18 when they are available.

I bought my wife a Benchmade North Fork from Cabela's online at a good sale price on Jan 2nd, sometime in the evening. I figured selfless was a good way to start the New Year and would soften the eventual opening of the floodgates. The knife was backordered and apparently has just shipped today.
First knife for me was a Cheburkov Scout, purchased from a German dealer that had a great selection and good pricing on that maker's knives. That was Jan 10. It shipped the next day through DeutschePost/DHL (non-express) and slowly wandered through three facilities over there before falling into the German Customs/air transport/US customs tracking black hole last Wednesday. It will show up again (I hope) when it clears US Customs and falls into the hands of the USPS. Bit of angst there for me.
On Jan 12 I bought a Shirogorov NeOn Ultra-Lite on the Exchange. That was a Friday and I had it in hand the following Monday, so that's the first knife I received in the New Year.
So, three purchases since The First totaling a bit over 1100 bucks and one knife to show for it so far. Think the Knife Gods are trying to tell me something?
...might be that I'm better off sticking with my BF buds than looking for deals from big retailers or overseas. I got a nice deal on my NeOn here too.
