They did one this year.

Which Sprint Run was it?

Well what exactly do you mean by "Sprint Run"? They did a run of left handed PM2's, is that the same thing? I don't own a lot of Spyderco's, so we may not be talking about the same thing.

A Sprint Run is a limited run, typically of 1200 knives, that is unique in the blade steel and handle scales and will not be replicated again after the run.

I am looking forward to an opinel #5 carbone I ordered. I would love a Lionsteel Roundhead, but don't think I will be able to justify said purchase this year.

OK, then the lefty PM2's may not count as a "Sprint Run" then, they are the same materials as the right hand versions.

- Spyderco Slysz Rat
- Spyderco Slysz Wasp
- Spyderco Slysz Everything-Marcin-Asks-Them-To-Do (Slysz should be to Spyderco what Hinderer is to ZT)
- Spyderco Rassenti Anything-With-A-High-Or-Hollow-Grind-So-We-Don't-Need-To-Hire-Josh-To-Fix-It (with gratitude and apologies to Josh)
- ZT 0568 (unassisted 0566)
- ZT 0771 (unassisted 0770)
- ZT 0451 (halfway between 0450 and 0452)
- Viper Locking Dan (Tommaso Rumici has already done the design)
- CRK "Umbani" (Zulu for "lightning") front-flipper at HRC 60-61
- Millit (or any good factory) Scott Cook Lochsa

 

[Ironbut]

I see a large Inkozi with black micarta inlays in my future, unless CRK quits making them while I procrastinate.

On the wish list is for GEC to make a run of Northfield 77 2 blade Barlows, with a clip main blade & small spear secondary, in saw cut chestnut bone, or even a 15 with the same specs. Is that too much to ask?

 

[vanadium]

Forgot one:

- Spyderco Bub Lum Tanto 2018

 

[Hackenslash]

I'd love a Benchmade Crooked River in a smaller size!

Oh...Look!

A production folding knife with a s30v blade for nearly $190? No thanks.

Best laid plans... My original post had knives laid out fairly organized as to priority. Figured one a month or so. Would have ordered the Russell knives last weekend but one was out of stock.

My list of knives to acquire in 2018 include:
AG Russell - Light'n Bug & Woodswalker
LT Wright - Coyote
Bark River - Bird & Trout
Spyderco - Sprig
LionSteel - Roundhead
Grohmann - #1
Of course I expect to find others that are going to distract me and demand I buy them along the way.

However, with Benchmade discontinuing their "Saddle Mountain Hunter" it quickly went from "waiting in the wings when I get to it", to the top of the list. Lucky the Russell's got postponed so I had some $ to get the Benchmade.
So my first Benchmade knife is now ordered. Everything else on the list will have to wait until at least Feb. (I hope)
Damned buying opportunities don't want to give you a moment's peace.

I still want a Cold Steel XL Tuff Lite with 4" XHP blade and G10 scales, preferably with some color options like they did with the Frenzy. Maybe a basic black one, a black and red, black and blue, and black and OD or tan.
