A lightweight manix and a plain Jane delica with a vg10. I have had other steels (super blue, h1) but not vg10

I'm with you here. Any time I see an Olamic Wayfarer or anything by Andre Thorburne I can't help but drool all over my keyboard!

I constantly droll over a lot of the Bark River models. I own one. It always seems that another knife, or two knives for the price of the Barkie seems to take precedence. I just don't use fixed blades very much and most anything I buy tends to just lie around. Even in the woods, I have to think about taking a fixed blade with me or I just go with my usual SAK or two folders.
I'd like to get a couple of the higher end Spyderco's, but it is not a priority as I have other Spydies to use. Frequently my purchases will be fairly spontaneous.
Some day, I'll probably buy a Sebenza. Have handled them enough times, but the price keeps me from taking the last step.

I've wanted an Al Mar SERE 2000 for some time. Great knife and I like the blade design.
Just wish the blade were slightly longer, even a quarter-inch. For this reason I've been holding out for an older SERE Attack model.
Even if I never decide to buy one it's a fine knife.

- Spyderco Resilience
- DPX HIT
- Kershaw Crown
- Cold Steel Code 4 Tanto

The latest AG Russell catalog shows the "Dozier Combat Folder" on the front cover. This knife is bigger than I ever carry, but it is really tugging at me to buy. I don't even like metal scales; this one is titanium. This kind of thing is what keeps me from buying Bark River knives mentioned in my last post in this thread. Maybe I'll get lucky if I order it and find out it's sold out.

Too many...
Anything expensive, the >$100 the further back I push it.
A Boye Winged Prophet, Wilson Combat RRXL, Arno Bernard, and BRK most specifically are all atop my list.
(I always wind up with 3 or 4 cheaper Knives, or another Blur or 2, whenever I start trying to save up for one of the more expensive ones that i got my eye on).

Been wanting to try an Emerson CQC-7 and Jungle Commander. I didn't really enjoy previous emersons that I have owned
so I don't really have high hopes that I will fall in love with either of these, but for some reason every month or so I find myself
researching them again.
I also expect to grab a Chris Reeve Seb 25 in carbon fiber some day but things...

BRKT Bravo-1.5. I've got 6 or 7 Bravo-1's that do a heck of a job... so do I really need the extra weight? Dunno...

Sebenza. I keep kicking the can down the road. I buy other knives, but just can't pull the trigger on it.

Cold Steel Hold Out 3. A "stabby" type sub 3 inch blade, with a fine point, that didn't seem particularly useful for much else to me. But I liked it aesthetically.
I finally picked one up recently and am happy I was dead wrong about it. It is actually a great little slicer, and only 2.5 ounces.

There is so much I don't like about that knife, and yet it calls to me. I don't like slab scales, I don't like metal scales, I don't like titanium framelocks, I want the grind to be higher up and yet I have a sneaking suspicion that one is going to end up in my pocket when I'm not paying enough attention to my credit card.
