What's Next?

I've been stashing some pennies away for a 950 Rift, but I might need to see how the 698 Foray feels before pulling the trigger.
 
Depending on how I like Benchmade's 20CV I might be persuaded to grab a 928 Proxy.
Today is the first day working with my new Grip with the steel. No Opinion just yet though.
 
Definately need to see a BM698. It has peaked my interest, but I typically stay with ~3" blades. I would like to get it in hand to make a decision.
 
The 698 looks good but the price is a little more than I'm willing to part with right now. Not seeing much of interest otherwise.
 
Looking at the 2016 lineup the 928 Proxy Flipper and a 550BK-1 as soon as it becomes available.
 
Probably nothing for a while unless they come out with the Rift in M390. Who knows, maybe I'll get the 950-1401 on the used market if I can't stand being without a manual Rift any longer.
 
Definitely a 555-1 when they get released, possibly another Mini Grip from the Custom program, and a 698 even though it is a little bigger than I normally like.
I need to look at the 484-1's again too. I looked at one at a local store and really liked it. Kinda like a Mini Grip on steroids :D

Make that a 555BK-1 and I'm right there with you Mike.
 
765 for me. I was soooo close to getting the 761, but a bit too big for me to carry. The 765 should take care of that problem. I just hope the blade is heavy enough to open as smoothly.
 
Does anyone think there will be a different run of the Adamas or the Vicar (as in steel or blade shapes)?
What about alternative steels for the Grips, Nakamura, and Valet??
/curveball to keep things interesting :D

You may be on to something there. I think the Adamas and Vicar definitely have the potential to be taken up a notch with a steel or design upgrade. Kinda like the AFCK (would love to see another version of that too this year), a design where they hit it out of the park with the first run and it only gets better with upgraded steel's, lock's, scales and such. I'd throw the 808 in there too, another standout IMO in the 2015 line up.
 
I have a list!!!
761.....thanks to my enabling Meticulous friend!!! His pics are worse than crack!!!
665.....love the looks and am curious about those buttons!
698.

Well I bought a 556-1 for office carry. The 551-1 is turning out to be a great friend so his little brother should be the ticket for the office.

I am also wanting to get something overbuilt. The Adamas is in my sights at the moment.
 
Mine has always been a 610 Rukus. I just bought one here on the exchange so thats checked off the list. Very excited to get it in hand. Really looking forward to the 928 in 2016. I've already preordered one. The 808 Loco is cool but it didn't fit my larger hands due to the curved handle. I have a Auto Styker. I like it but not a huge fan of serrations.
