What's your next purchase?

A Spyderco Plain edged military (I know I am lagging behind
wink.gif
), and after that perhaps a CRK Shadow III.
 
I don't like to jinx these things by any kind of "it'll be here soon" statements, but my collection is "stepping up in class" this winter. Here's some of the names for my next 6 months: Larry Chew, John Etzler, Ralph Turnbull, Dave Broadwell, Bailey Bradshaw, Darrel Ralph, Mike Lamprey, and James Piorek (SCP).

Materials include: Ivory, yellow & white gold, platinum, damasteel, Ti, rayskin, and DIAMONDS!

It's been a long wait, but dreams do come true...
 
well I'm getting an Emerson Dagger, not the poliece utility knife, but the emerson dagger

I just got to wait for the pay-check farry to drop by tomarrow.
 
Friday i ordered a pack of three Case knives, a Muskrat with emerald bone slabs
a Large Stockman with chestnut bone handle and
a Copperlock with red bone handle.
You can't buy these here in germany as there are no Case dealers here and i ordered them from Bayou Lafourche. Nice guys there. Hope the knives will arrive soon.

By the way, what is a Mad Dog Knife?

My family, wife, coworkers and friends do not understand my collection, but I've simply got to tell someone.

I just got off the telephone from Japan. I've got myself a new large decorated Sebenza. Not just any large decorated Sebenza, mind you. Mike Gallagher of ABC Direct says he will give me his last one in stock, THE one used in the photos on his site! See my new knife at:

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

They still have one Umfaan plain, as pictured, and one small Sebenza plain. Get them before I change my mind.

A pity my order will not come in until my Busse Combat Basic 9 is ready, and I only go home for pickup once a year.

I am still waiting on my Busse Battle Mistress, my Mad Dog ATAK Thing, and 3/16 inch Arizona Hunter.

I am also ordering from different dealers, to arrive around Christmas:

Emerson:
- Commander v-grind serrated
- La Griffe

Benchmade:
- Mel Pardue 850
- NIMRAVUS 140
- Elishewitz Sentinel (?)

eagerly awaiting their new butterflies

Cold Steel Black Bear Classic twin edge

Gigand Shockwave

CRKT:
- Stiff KISS
- Neck PECK

The CRKTs I got last month are scratched after all my paper and cardboard cutting.

Himalayan Imports
- Gelbu Special number one
- Ang Khola 20 inch
- Villager BAS
- Kagas Katne x 5

Future wish list if I can afford them: MD Panther and Voodoo Queen, HI Sirupati 20 inch and Banspati 27 inch

My next, well my first informed purchase thanks to the members of this panel, will likely be a CRKT Carson M16-02. Anyone have any negative comments on this knife?

------------------
I'm a novice, please be patient.
 
Next purchase will probably be an Emerson Commander, then an R.J. Martin Q-36 folder, then a Kit Carson Sm Model 4, then Probably another custom after that, haven't made up my mind yet.

 
I've got a 710BT on order and after that i will probably get a BM 330. I need a little knife!

IMHO, Hoss you the Boss! Just the Johnny Stout, might be worth getting killed for.
As for me I've got to wait until after the New Year, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Herb Derr, damascus Hunter, with Stag handle. My first handmade, and worth waiting for. Now that I'm moving away from the production knives, I know I'll be purchasing fewer knives, but I will treasure them more.
 
Most likely a Busse Basic #7!

First Mike is buying an ATAK, and me a Busse. What next? Will monkeys fly out of Spark's butt?

My current pending knife is being held for me by davidb415: a lightfoot 460 magnum. It will rotate duties with me CQC-7. For X-mas I will get myself a Broadwell fighter from Les if one is still around. I also see a Matt Lamey field knife coming around the corner.

I prefer bigger knives myself, so my next (ongoing) purchase will be for a mighty Millennium 2 Fighter from Jerry Hossom ( www.hossom.com ). This sucker's designed with a 14" blade, and will have Jerry's awesome "Ghost" finish applied to the blade. It'll have ancient bone for the handle slabs, and some nice engraving on the bolsters. Not to mention a well-tooled sheath. Jerry's the only maker I've found that can balance out big knives like this. As Don Rearic said "These knives move like a live snake". To me, they move like a mongoose on meth.

Once you've handled one of Jerry's long fighting knives, you won't go back to any other.

Got Lightfoot Sierra II coming from ProEdge.
Also have Speedtech on order. From the recommendations on this forum, I simply cannot resist.

Either a BM 145 in ATS-34, which will get the Scotchbrite treatment, or a Spyderco Military.

... or maybe a Talonite Talisman... or a Spyderco Starmate... or a Marbles...

It's just a ****ing staple!

Little background on the "dress" Gemini thats coming. Made a deal with the wife last October that if I gave up "booze" for a year that I could get myself "a really nice knife". Little did she know what I had in mind! It sucked at first but the thoughts of that Johnny Stout folder kept me on the straight and narrow. The money I've saved from no beer the past year has more than paid for that knife. Now the only "vices" I have are the ones on my workbench
