What's On Your Wish/Must Have List?

Stuart Ackerman Sustain.
I'm pretty well set everywhere else so I think this might be it??
 
1. PM3 (by the way, in the Amsterdam meet video, Eric himself called the next Paramilitary the "Paramilitary 3." Hopefully he was referring to the smaller PM2)

2. Sage 5

3. Blurple PM2

To be quite honest, I am not a huge fan of all the new collaborations. I do love what I call the classic Spyderco knives:
Delica
Endura
Military
Manix
Para
Stretch
Native
Schempp, Bradley, Janich, Lum, Perrin collabs are the exception

The newer stuff over the last couple years just has not sparked any real interest. Strange from someone that has over 140 Spyderco knives. So that means I haven't bought much of anything other than a couple of sprints/LEs here and there, compared to almost always having a Spyderco purchase coming in at some point when I bought a knife or 2.
I think the Autonomy is going to be had at some point. I really like the overall design and I have owned all of the autos. I really like the Bradley designs and the recent Schempp models as well. The Aqua Salt is also a nice fixed blade as well as the new kitchen knives. Time will tell I guess.

Oh, but there are new models from Bradley, and Lum! ;)
...as well as numerous new variations of those classics all upcoming.




And, are you only referring to new Collaborations specifically, or the new offerings as an entirety?
Just wondering, because there seems to be plenty to enjoy for all from where I see it. :)
I do feel you a bit on some of the recent more jewelry like collabs, but I'm not going to hate on it. I've always loved Spyderco for their variety, so I'm not going to go near hypocrisy and bash on anything new when I am very well aware there are other knife people out there bashing on my Yojimbo 2 and Dodo, etc. :p
 
Currently have:

Dragonfly 2 ZDP-189
Techno
Military - Grey G10 scales (from CRUWEAR sprint) with CTS-XHP blade

Want list:

CTS-XHP Foliage Green Manix 2
Nirvana
40th Anniversary Native 5
 
I must have the Southard & the Burch Chubby, and a Techno.

I'm hoping I can get my hands on a Nirvana, but I'll probably miss the boat.

I love my southard. I must confess that I go back and forth between wanting the burch chubby or the techno more. I really want one of spyderco's "little big knives" but I change my mind daily about it.

No, not the collabs as a whole, there are plenty that are awesome. The Bradley stuff is excellent, especially the TAC 1. It looks like a well thought out design. The Brend/Pirela is another that is awesome. I guess in part, I was not too keen on the super large Spyderhole as in the Vallotton. I know a lot of people really like it, but for ME only, I like the way the hole is on the Tatanka, Yojimbo/2, Schempp Bowie, etc. Of course there is something for everyone that is what is so nice, but for me I guess I am getting a little more particular as to what I like and don't like. I think the fixed blade offerings for this year based off the IWA show are all solid. I am also a fan of Gayle Bradley, Walter Brend, and many others.

Nirvana
Jumpmaster2
Mamba
Pattada

I want a Tuff, but I can't really justify the 225 for it.

And I know it's sacrilege, but I have yet to get a pm2.
 
I'm always excited for the Sprints and Exclusives of existing models. As far as new, must haves, only the new Bradley flipper is on my list.
 
A few of the new ones gave me a tingle.....but that Bradley flipper checked all boxes!!
That one is a must have!!
Joe
And maybe just one of the insane sprints!!
 
I want to pick up a LW Native in s110v and a blurple PM2.
Also would like to get the last 2 small Hap40 offerings, other than that I'm not sure what will be next.

I prefer the classic models and don't care for flippers so some of the new stuff isn't my style.
I'm not one to stay glued to this screen so I'll probably miss out on the upcoming PM2 and Millie sprints, they seem super cool but I'll be ok if I miss out.
 
Must haves for me are the 52100 military and one of the new m4 paramilitaries.
