None I'm planning to get any time soon...I'm really pretty well set I think...though I will admit to a slight yearning for an ESEE H.E.S.T.

I got to play with one for a few days in a passaround, I liked it a lot...maybe better than my RC3.

Yeah although I'm pretty much set on customs now I will admit to drooling over the HEST !;):thumbup:
 
I just designed a little one for an altoids tin. This one is being made by our own TheAmazingDrew. I might have him make a few more down the road. It's 85 mm long by 30mm high and about 1/8 an inch thick. I'm calling it LRB: "Last Resource Blade". I think it's gonna be a great little knife! Here's the pre heat-treated blade:

I thought you would enjoy that design. It's got a swedge after all! Hard to believe it is under 3.5 inches OAL. So much awesome in such a small package!

Is it gonna have scales ?

Unlikely, but I wanted holes just in case I decided to either add them or wrap it with some para-cord. It also cuts down on weight ever so slightly. If I do add some handles, they'll be ultra THIN micarta down the road. In all likelihood I'll order a few more and have one or two handled and keep this one simple. I'm super excited because this is the first design I've made and had executed!
 
I was lucky enough to win the JK Knives Anniversery Knife contest, so I'm anxiously awaiting the live version of this:

I'm a week or so away from completion of my order from Diving Sparrow Knife Works.
I have two blades coming, both 3/16-A2- natural micarta/black liners- plunge line at the slab. One is the Carolinian Bushcraft and the other the Savanah Bushcraft . I had the Boreal Bushcraft but found the blade height too tall.
Abe rounds off the top-front part of the slab which makes it very comfortable to use for extended time. Your thumb rests on the gentle curve.
You can see the goodies here. First and third knives pictured.

Waiting on a Hatchula from Dylan.
I drew up a knife that I wanted and the same week he had posted the Hatchula design here. They were very close.
His design was better.
It then goes to Robert Jones for a nice leather condom.
 
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my RC 3. Gonna be my EDC for a while. Ordered it with the pocket clip to be carried obviously in my front pocket. I thought about a HEST, but the one I handled didn't fit my hand very well. It was the prybar that killed the feel for me.
