Pretty much what the title says.

What did you purchase this year? Can be in list form, but pictures always preferred. For you "serious" enthusiasts, try to keep it in a single picture or as few as possible so we don't have an infinite scrolling situation :)

As for myself, I didn't really get into knives until the beginning of the year and shortly joined BF to get a feel for what my first EDC should be. Always had knives growing up, some Case, Schrade, and Buck folders from my dad, but never really "got into it" per se.

Picked up a Spyderco Delica, and slowly got hooked as I lurked the forums. Followed up with:

- Becker BK24
- CS Mini Tuff Lite
- Boker Plus Urban Trapper in Cocobolo
- LT Wright Genesis (first forum purchase)
- Spyderco Dragonfly II in G10 (another forum purchase)
- Bradford Guardian 3 in 3v
- GEC Beer Scout Knife in Beer Barrel Oak (early xmas present to myself and first traditional purchase - def want more)

I'll wrangle up a picture when I get a chance and edit it in.

So, what was your 2016 haul?

My wife gave me a Becker bk4 for my birthday.

I think that's it actually.

And when I think back, I think I have had one a year for the past few years. Mostly as gifts.

I can think of three that I picked up this year:

Benchmade Griptilian (D2 steel)

Victorinox Pioneer

Victorinox DAK

The DAK is the one that I am most excited about. I have been after one of these for a few years.
 
Going by my PayPal account, it looks like I bought about 48 knives this year. That's all fine, but probably about 40 of those have also been sold again or gifted to LEO's, deployed military, or family. So, my "haul" is always a temporary situation.
I've carried the same folder now for two yrs...a customized AVO (enhanced by REK) and have not found a suitable replacement. I did buy three new Bradford Guardian3 this year...gave one to a son, carry one every day in addition to the AVO, and one nice black-bladed M390 in the safe.
My folders are primarily Spydies or ZT's, with SurviveKnives, Southern Grind and Bradford thrown in for good measure.

Here's the current line up. These are 90 percent of my current collection.

There has also been probably 20 or so more that have been sold or traded off.

Good point on sell offs and gifting. I think I would refine haul as anything you purchased for yourself this year, and I would even count things that you sold off (or could specify, bought it this year but sold it off, either/or) if you had intent to use/collect it.
 
Son of Swat ordered in April. Fiddlebacks were summertime. The rest I didn't get started until about September/early October.
