What is your latest knife purchase?

Ive been bargain/value shopping lately just for the fun of testing out different blade shapes etc. I picked up a SOG Seal Pup Elite, SOG Team Leader, and a SOG Aura Camp for less than $100 combined at BladeHQ. I plan on putting them all through their paces in the kitchen, garden, field, and garage to see how they do. Should be a good time.
 
All three of these showed up yesterday:

Emerson Mini CQC-15, SOCFK, and Combat Karambit

I have a Micro Commander scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.
 
I purchased a Cold Steel Espada XL from Knife Center yesterday. Should be getting here Saturday.
 
I just got a SOG Demo for a very good price yesterday. I really like it. Great build quality, very sharp, nicely balanced, and the knife itself in its original version has a great history.

how is the composite blade. i just sold my only kershaw and want to replace it with a new kershaw. i sometimes worry about the copper they use to join the two steels

Don't worry about the brazed seam. The blade will fail elsewhere before that seam becomes a problem. The shape of the seam gives the joint mechanical strength on top of the strength of the filler metal bond.
 
My last purchase was a Smith&Wesson Homeland Security lock blade folder. It has a 4 1/8" blade with a 1/8" spine. It says Titanium Steel on one side then says Surgical on the other. I sharpened this knife on a Smth's Diamond hone at 29 degrees. It's 5 1/2" closed, 8 3/4" open and the locking mechanism is easy ta manipulate with one handed operation.
This is my favorite carry knife above my Buck folder with a 2 3/4" blade.

mnandi purchased today as well, probably a week before it arrives.

Umm, your math does not add up. If it is 5.5 closed with a 4.125 blade, open length should be 9.625. 5.5 with open length of 8.75 indicates 3.25 blade. Which is it? Smith & Wesson, I'll believe the 3.25.
 
Bought an Mnandi with Lignum Vitae inlays, and a Strider PT which are both in the mail. Should be quite exciting when they arrive.
 
Just got my Spyderco Sage 3 and I'm really digging the knife. Very smooth and
the g10 color has satisfied by craving for a shot of blue.
 
Just got a new camel thorn mnandi, beautiful wood! I have a carbon fiber and titanium frame lock on order from Marty Young
