What Knife Do You Have Coming?

Al Mar Eagle Talon HD in ZDP-189
Delica 4 Damascus/Titanium (On Backorder)
Really really really want to order Caly 3.5 in CF/ZDP-189, too...
 
This Scrapyard should be coming today...

CF inlays, polished blade, still undecided about colors otherwise. Wish I had the cash for the Damascus blade. U?

Very nice choice, the CF inlays look great. I'm going with stonewashed blade, blue honeycomb scales with sanded flats.
 
Maybe you guys can help me decide which knife will be coming.

Spyderco Manix 2 LW or XL, Endura (Super Blue sprint run or VG10?), Cold Steel Marauder or Benchmade Griptilian?

Or should I just save up for a PM2 or Ti Millie?

I really like the honeycomb pattern too, but the CF just calls my name! I'll have to save up and pickup a honeycomb pattern next round.

I am waiting on a Koster nessmuck, natural canvas micarta scales, brass pins white liners, full scandi grind in 3v and a dual carry sheath that has a firesteel loop. I have been waiting about 8 months for it which has been both good and bad, cause I promised myself I wouldn't buy another knife until I had that one in my hand....:eek: so ive probably saved enough money to get a bark river scalpel or somesuch!!:D But really I have been bitten by the "traditional" bug, because ive got my eye on some texas toothpicks and old school doctors knives.

If you want a PM2 or millie then save up. Personally, I don't think either of them are all they're cracked up to be, good ergos but very poor handle to blade ratio.

I'd go with a regular Manix 2 or LW over the XL and If you're looking for a lockback I like the Native 5 over the Endura.
 
what do you guys think about the delica 4? i've been very interested in it but been back and forth as far as buying one because i read mixed reviews.
 
blade play up and down.

I've never had a lockback Spyderco develop any blade play, but lockbacks in general are more prone to develop up and down play than other locking mechanisms.

However, they are still very strong and last a long time. And seriously, a slight amount of blade play isn't a big deal.

If you're worried, check out the Native 5. It's a Spyderco lockback but they completely re-designed it for that knife and it's an absolute tank.

native 5 looks solid but out of my price range.
 
Currently, I'm waiting for this.



ETA: February 2014
The heat coloration looks good with the sanded flats.

It's a shame you have to wait until February though, I was able to get in on the November run.
 
Waiting on an Mtech Twist. Nothing fancy but I really like the looks and after wanting one for a while and missing them every single time they show up on here I was excited to find one NIB.
