Outstanding!
 
Got wild and ordered Victorinox sd alox for my keychain.
Also, not a knife but ordered Japanese coarse water stone for regrinding.

Will eventually buy some leather working knives and kiridashis later.

No other plans. :)
 
I am over half way to saving up for ANOTHER:rolleyes: knife, but torn between several options. I can only buy one of the options, but may acquire more later. All prices are in Canadian.

1. Spyderco Mantra Titanium, CPM-M4 C202TIP $234
2. Spyderco Domino Flipper Titanium-Carbon Fiber C172CFTIP $199
3. Spyderco Gayle Bradley CPM-M4, Carbon Fiber C134CFP2 $194

6. ZT Sinkevich CPM-S35VN Carbon Fibre Flipper Folding Knife ZT450CF $252
 
Purchased so far:
Benchmade 570 Presidio II
Koenig Arius Stormtrooper
Busse Basic 4 Anorexic (Tan)
Bark River Bravo EDC in M4 (First Bark River purchase; I'd be hesitant to buy another after hearing some horror stories; pretty sweet little knife though.)

Sometime this year I hope to pick up a Mini Presidio II and Mini Crooked River on the secondary market. I'm honestly pretty content with what I have right now. But that never seems to last too long so we'll see.

2017 was a year of customs for me, only bought 1 midtech and absolutely no production knives so I've got some catching up to do this year:
¬Spyderco Respect
¬ZT, either a 0452 or an 0460, like the bigger knife but like the shape of the 0460. Unless they have something in between coming out this year, I should look...
¬ WE 702 (color choices just cause me to procrastinate, I actually meant to buy one of these last year when they dropped)
¬ Becker, a 7 or 9 that I want to play with (mod) more than I need another such large knife.
¬ Swamp Rat Rodent Trail or Rodent Solution

I've had a Tupper Knife & Tool JEN ordered since last year so it'll be a 2018 purchase (the one I'm most excited about thus far). I do have one other custom on the list, a Gravelle knives F4 but I wasnt gonna pre-order and specify all the details, just wait for him to list one I liked and swoop in on it.
 
The only thing really on my list is a large Inkozi with black micarta inlays. I have the money in hand & don't know why I haven't bought one yet. Nothing else is even tempting me at the moment, but that can change at any time.

I'm always on the lookout for nice saw cut bone handled Barlows & stag handled medium stockmans; and whenever I find one on the exchange, etc, I jump on it.
 
-DLC coated G-10 Manix 2
-Mini crooked river
-Grizzly ridge

That's all I hope, trying to cut back.
Hope to maybe purchase a Wicked Edge sharpening system, or might just do a KME.
 
Spyderco Nirvana, although I'd like to handel a Hinderer and CRK at the same time.

I hope to get in Tad Lynch's book one day.


Edit:
Just had to add a Spyderco Tatanka.

Only one I have on the list right now is a Lionsteel M5.
Maybe a BHQ DLC Manix 2 Jade/M4 or a BM Mini Crooked River. We'll see.

Not many on my list but likely will pick up
- a DLC M4 jade g10 Manix 2
- a Hinderer gen 2 Eklipse Bowie

Will certainly keep a close eye on
- New ZTs for 2018.
- Sprint runs or dealer exclusives of Spyderco and Benchmade, particularly Military, PM2, Manix 2, Shaman, and Benchmade 710
 
Purchased:
Buck Deuce
Spyderco UKPK S110V

Considering:
Case Russlock
Case pen knife
Buck 302
GEC #38
Chaparral Lightweight
Kershaw Dividend M390
Benchmade Proper
Benchmade 565 Mini Freek
 
GEC 13 in ebony, and a Shirogorov 95T so far. My first Shiro and my god I'm in love. It's a midtech, but man it has gotten me interested in customs knives again after I swore myself off of them years ago.
 
I'm looking at Spyderco's new Parata, which is already shaping up to be one of the divisive Spydercos.

If North Arms gets out of the weeds I'll probably pick up a Skaha. I wanted to try one before they got hot but after they did I didn't feel like sitting on a waiting list.

I've been ogling an Olamic Swish for a while now. They're just so pretty.

That's what's on my mind.
 
I purchased a new Case XX smooth orange bone Stockman with some Christmas gift cards.
Been eyeing a Buck 503 for awhile and will probably pick one up sometime this month.
The only knife I can think of that I'd currently like to have is a small annual Sebenza.
