What Knife Do You Have Coming?

I have a sharp be design Typhoon Tanto style flipper on the way. made by Brian Nadeun @ http://www.sharpbydesign.com/

I was, actually hunter for an F3 3.5"/4" blade. Mainly because they are meant for tough use, and they are a quick deployment style flipper. I passed on orange, green, and other ugly scales to include g10 which didn't turn me on. Of course a 4" f3 that was perfect for me came up for sale, but I didn't know it. it was snatched yup quickly of course.

I wanted a pohan leu bluephin; but didn't want to wait for a custom version i wanted. I considered seriously another Andre Thornburn Flipper, came real close to pulling the trigger on one. Yet, because some of the signature details that Mr. Thornburn makes with his knives I passed. His books are close I'm told so again I didn't want to wait.

I didn't even know much about Brian, but after some quick checking i felt that rush and opened communication to buy the knife.



I got this one from blade junkee http://www.bladejunkee.com/folders.html top of the page in the middle. It's marked sold. I was on the phone with Scott when that was changed because i bought it. :eek:

Once i figure out how to post pictures again I'll post some up here. My most expensive knife to date & unless i get a Santiago balisong or a bali balistic it might be my last big knife purchase. This tanto is definitely an investment piece for me. The blade, might cut paper 3-6 times max and nothing else. It will not be carried outside in the real world; & will be flipped for fun only. :tickled_pink:


Video is sort of funny, but does show some relevant information explained by Brian.

After not much time convincing myself to order before they went away forever.
Being a bit of a noob to this lifestyle it's a good feeling when you come late to the party and still get to enjoy yourself.
I know once it gets here I'll be pining for the Rodent 9 as well.

I hope this wait is as painless as my <4 week RS build time.
Now on the hunt for some kydex pants!
 
I sold a few last week that were not getting any pocket time - now I have two new ones arriving tomorrow:

Manix 2 Cruwear and Benchmade North Fork

Looking forward to seeing my wife's reaction! ha
 
Just got of the phone, Boker Pry-mate...should be here in a couple of weeks. Was sorta torn between the mini and the mate, went with the mate more of a practical ECD and I can handle the weight.

Best part is, when I told the wife she said "what took you so long?"

Awwww yeah!! Now that's a good lady there! Mine doesn't even bat an eyelash anymore.... The really cool part is she loves Busse and kin, thinks they're gorgeous knives, and if I tell her I'm getting one she's excited too. Good times!

Lol mine too. She loves them. Even has a j. A. Baker custom of her own.

I have a benchmade 46 blk on the way. Super rare from what I see. Got a nice deal too!
Flipping is consuming my life!
 
I wasn't really looking for anything new given that all my needs are met in spades with so many great knives and tools in my collection already, but I happened across a thread on the Exchange with a fantastic price for a Leatherman Charge Ti that came with the full extended bit set and seeing as how it was on my short list of "If the opportunity presents itself..." I snapped it up tonight. The Charge made my list after I got to handle the one a coworker friend has, and I think it will be a great item to have. I have other multi-tools, but the S30V blade, pocket clip, and interchangeable bits sealed the deal.

Good times!
 
Scored a used BM Contego for 70 bucks shipped. I just couldn't pass it up at that price. It shipped yesterday, so it shouldn't be too long.....
