What Knife Do You Have Coming?

That's because this is the first time, to the best of my knowledge, they've been commercially available on this continent. :)

A rough agricultural tool finish to them, but good traditional designs well executed in good steel. Flick the bit with your finger and it rings like a bell. :D

I couldn't even find foreign reviews except for the billhooks. I'm waiting on a chance to grab one of your Baryonyx machetes, and either the Wetterlings Bushman or a GB. Which edge is best on the Baryonyx, in your opinion? And how would you say the Falci "boys axe" sizes compare against GB, Wetterlings, and Condor offerings?

(Tried to PM this but couldn't. )
 
I have a Benchmade 940 on the way as a possible EDC, and am seriously tempted to grab a GEC Fish Knife and a Mini Landslide, as I need a couple knives for fresh and salt water fishing, respectively.
 
Should be getting this baby tomorrow. Rambo III Handmade Gil Hibben 1988 #83 of 350

I like the standard "racing edge" personally, as I'm an experienced machete user so I know how to avoid chopping into dirt/rocks or torquing during heavy wood chopping so I don't end up damaging the thinner edge. For those likely to experience rough edge impacts the higher deformation resistance of the thicker "survival edge" would be a better option.

The Falci axes have a very thin bit profile (without becoming fragile) and steel that is hard, but not too hard--much like vintage American axes. They ring like a bell when you flick the bit hard with your finger.
 
Got the new Tops Wild Pig Hunter ordered, scheduled to arrive Tuesday. I don't hunt wild pigs, but it looks just too cool to not own.
 
Have 2 on the way, a Benchmade triage 916 and an Emerson mini cqc7. This will be my first Emerson. I dont know why, but I'm really excited about the mini cqc 7, Ive never handled one, never seen one in person. I have been reading about them since I started collecting and finally made the layout and hoping it gets a fair share of pocket time, the triage is just for work.
 
Got a Ferrum Forge Kareb showing up tomorrow and a zdp delica with some putnam scales showing up later in the week
 
Right now I'm at work and I'm anxiously waiting for a packet to be delivered at home. Inside the parcel I expect to find one of my most and longest desired knives, a Chris Reeve 21. Not only did I finally pull the trigger but I went above and beyond by purchasing the Knife Art Large Carbon Fiber Insingo. I think I'll be punching out a tad early today.
 
Haha. Your going to be extremely happy. I'm generally a fixed blade fan, but recently decided to see what the hype was about and pick up a couple of the top folders. ( 21, xm 18) and I can say I wasn't let down at all. Your standards will have officially went up after tonight. The next one will be coming soon.
 
For once Ebay had something I liked at a reasonable price.

I have a CRKT Prowler #6103 on the way.

A great folder if you are wearing gloves.

The Prowler is a favorite on my list of ugly but functional budget knives.
