What knives are you going to buy in 2016?

I am sorely tempted by the Spyderco Mantra 1. This is weird because I'm not a big fan of metal handles or frame locks, both of which this has. However, I love the Delica, and the Mantra is very similar in shape except the edge comes back to the handle, and the flipper nub acts as a guide to steer flexible media up onto the edge with nothing to hang up fabric, plastic sheet, etc from being smoothly cut. I've looked for this functionality a long time. It's a little thing, but it's a grail feature for me.
 
The only knife that really interests me from what I've seen so far is the BM 928.

Looks like a 940 but in a framelock flipper with a 20CV blade....what's not to like?!!
 
I keep coming back to the Benchmade 940-1, the Osborne in carbon fiber. I've had my eye on it for a while and will probably given in before too long. Carbon fiber and S90V is hard to pass up.
 
Ill be buying something small and EDC-able from Daniel Fairly, probably a mini-grip, and hopefully the traditional forum knife if it happens.
Also any cool things I find at the flea market.

Spyderco Mantra
Spyderco Lil' Lum
SOG Reactor

I doubt I'll buy all of these, but they're on the list. I think I'll use my tax rebate on either a custom or a pistol; hard to say, since I only get to visit my pistols for a couple of weeks every few years.
