What do you want to purchase in 2015?

I generally buy knives on a whim although I suppose if I score one of the M4/CF paramilitary 2's it would be considered a pre-planned purchase.

Otherwise, the only two major things on my radar are a Trijicon ACOG and a cerakote HK45.
 
Next knife will likely be a fixed blade (probably Bark River), but I just have to wait and see how the wind blows. More than likely I'll be adding another GEC made traditional. I've slowed down a bit on my buying and I just came back from Blade with two additions and one just prior to the show. I may opt for a Fiddleback Forge made knife, but the sheath issue has be wondering if I really want to go there since I don't need the knife.
 
I really wanted a ZT 0300 after handling one, so I bought it :) I'd also really like to purchase a CR Umnumzaan...
 
5.5" DDR custom Dominator. I just paid yesterday. Should be ready around Christmas.
 
Want to purchase in 2015 posted in June? Heck regardless of how much want may be left the purchases from the first half the year have just about cleared out the purchase budget for the year.
 
I might also buy a Gen 3 BRS Alpha Beast when it comes out in a few weeks.
 
I'm on Pohan Leu's list for a lefty Sardeen flipper. My name should be coming up around November.... but we'll see if I get it before 2016. Also I should hopefully get a lefty Vesper from Mark Varga sometime this year. Who knows, maybe I'll get a shine for another custom too. Although the wife would likely obliterate me.:D

For productions. There are only 2 that I might actually purchase. A Microtech MetalMark, and a Spyderco Positron.
 
My next knife will probably be a Boker Dark Hollow. I'd Like to finally get a ZT as well, either a 0200 or 0350.
 
Spyderco Mamba, Positron, Myrtle and maybe, just maybe, the Nirvana supposing (hoping) it gets released in 2015.
ZT 0392WC, 0606, 0999. A 0302 as new as I can find one.
Probably a Reate Horizon-D.

I don't really have anything specific other than waiting for the Gayle Bradley 2. I may try to pick up a GB1 from the Exchange. I sold mine to my bud Kevin, and I figure I'll need to have one so I can have a matched set. I got to hold the GB2 at Blade and it is absolute perfection. It amazes me how GB can design a knife that's made for hard work that's so beautiful.

Other than that, I expect I'll buy a few knives if they come up as targets of opportunity. Not sure what those will be yet.

Ok, so I feel I should go back and amend this a bit.

I'd like to order a large Southern Grind Bad Monkey. The ones I saw at Blade were fantastic in fit and finish, and if I hadn't already had other purchases in mind, I might have bought one right there. I am going to put in an order later in the year, I think. I'll do either the CF or Jade...who am I kidding, it'll be carbon fiber, and the stonewashed tanto tip. It really is a neat shape.

I'll also snag one of the new ESEE JG 3's here shortly. I really, really like the way it looks, and though I haven't held it personally, I've held other knives of very similar handle shape and I think the ergos will be excellent.
 
On my immediate list ....

ESEE 3+4
Spyderco Worker green g10
Kershaw Link
Benchmade Emissary
Spyderco Manix
Spyderco Sage III CF
Lionsteel sr1
Lionsteel sr2
Dpx hest 2.0
Spyderco Delica4 ZDP189
Spyderco Delica4 Ti Damascus VG10
Spyderco Endura
Spyderco Stretch ZDP189
Protech Godson
Protech Godfather

I won't get them all, but that's the list I can think of off the top of my head
 
Extrema Ratio RAO




Cold Steel 4 Max. I'll never get anywhere near a custom Demko, so this will have to do.




The TOPS B.O.B Folder

And I will probably end up getting a Tex Creek folder too, but I like the BOB just a little better.

I think. Maybe.

Will I get them all this year? Probably not. But I can hope. :D
 
I'm adding a Jerry Moen Blue Max to my list.

If there is a way to get on Richard Rogers short list, I'd love to have an F4, Flicker, and Arc:)
 
1. Mick Strider Custom SMF
2. CRK Umnumzaan
3. Hinderer Eklipse
4. Southern Grind Bad Monkey

The Middle 2 are for sure going to be bought in 2015. The MSC SMF and the bad monkey might get pushed off until next year.
 
ZT 0450
Reate Todd Beg Sun Tsu Kwaiken
CRK Large Tanto Sebenza

I also want some custom timascus scales and backspace done for my VG10 Boker Kwaiken.
 
Haven't seen much so far, I had hoped more interesting things would be released at Blade.

I'd put the Knifeworks exclusive military/PM2's on the possible list
The Cold Steel Lucky is interesting, to me it's what I hoped the Dyad would have been.
I like the Quartermaster Emmett Doc Brown, but it's a blade shape I don't think I'd use much.
Now that CS is using some better steels I might pick up an American Lawman something 3.5" ish
