What knives are you planning on since the Amsterdam meet?

[gdwtvb]

As usual, the Amsterdam meet thread from MR. Blonde is my favorite thread of the year. This year we got the added treat of videos of some of the knives. I feel like I speak for all Spyderco fans when I say Thank-you from all the people that will probably never get the chance to attend.

Now that the thread is finished, I'd like to hear what knives have been put on your acquisition lists, or what you are most excited about:

here's mine:

Definite purchases:

Reinhold Rhino: For me this is the one knife that really excited me the most. I have a thing for small blades, and it's a compression lock with a lanyard hole. Instant must have.

Bradley Tac 1S: Another must have: M4, and a new texture on titanium. It will be my first Spyderco Flipper.

Jumpmaster 2: I was on the fence about this one until the video. I see a Jumpmaster 2 with custom scales coming to my collection. It will become my new Bug Out Bag knife. (Replacing or augmenting a Bark River)

Maybe purchases:

Sage 5: I love my sage 2, but having the lanyard hole and a compression lock makes this one hard to pass up.

Bradley packer: I love the look of this one, still I rarely use fixed blade knives and I try not to acquire knives that just sit...I guess I could start carrying a fixed blade more often.

Then there are the lustworthy knives that I am anxious to hold but sadly probably won't buy:

Mamba: It just looks so cool, I just couldn't imagine ever carrying it due to its size. I won't spend that type of money on a shelf ornament.

Nirvana: Another beautiful budget buster.

So let's hear it, what knives from this year's meet spoke to you.

(most of these will happen but will need some time to raise the funds)
Bradley Tac1 was very nice too but I'm not very big on flippers so not sure on that one.

Was great to see so many compression locks at a Spydiemeet!

[ABX2011]

Will definitely buy:
Bradley TAC1S
'Lil Nilakka

Might buy:
Jumpmaster 2

[Able Dog]

The TAC-1s, Magnitude, and Rubicon 2 are all piquing my interest in flippers again. They are all highly desirable to me.

The Ouroboros and Rhino seem like very practical, and promising, EDC options.

The Nirvana is still intriguing, but a lot of factors are minimizing my excitement for it.

[demoncase]

Lil Lum
ATR
Lil Nilakka
Ourobourus
D'Alarra for definite.

Not so much on the fixed blades

[DougC-3]

Ouroboros!!
D'Allara
Maybe others when I become more familiar with them. The Jumpmaster 2 is appealing, but the serrations look shallower than those of the original, which I might go ahead and buy, especially if it's to be discoed at a lower price :)

Edit: on second thought, if the serrations are shallower, the edge in the serrations might be at a wider angle, which would allay my concerns that the H-1 might not be the best metal for cutting brush, which would be one of the main things I would end up doing with a Jumpmaster.

[farnorthdan]

The following will be mine:

Nirvana
ATR
Pattada
Lil' Nilakka
Ouroboros
Rhino
Mamba
Spydiechef

[JT]

at least:
Rhino
ATR
Jumpmaster 2, if available in PE
Spydiechef

edit, Bradley Packer looks pretty nice too.. I'll wait for the price tag first.

[SpyderNut]

Lil Nilakka.

What happened to you getting the Lil' Lum?? :eek: :D

[LC Kid]

Hi Folks!


Sure buys will be: :D

- Nirvana
- SpydieChef
- Ouroboros
- Sage 5

Maybe / Hand-Test-Required before buying: :rolleyes:

- Bradley TAC 1s
- Pattada
- Lil' Lum (actually depends on the final Clip)

[SG89]

Lil Nilakka.

What happened to you getting the Lil' Lum?? :eek: :D

See above lol. That Lil Nilakka is on another level.

[toomzz]

1.PM3 seen it, felt it, handled it. PErhaps it is nice to give this model s35vn as standard steel in stead of s30v
2. Ourobouros: felt very good, loved the ergos, precise cutting tool. Please something else as VG10......
3. Bradley tac1 one. That stunning Ti-orange skin! No-like: flipper position, IMHO it disturbs the esthetics of the knife and it did not felt good (again IMHO)

[gaj999]

Ouroboros

Gordon

[Tdog]

Jumpmaster 2 for sure and probably the Sage 5

[Spydersense]

Nirvana
Sage 5
PM3
Rhino
GB Tac 1s

Not necessarily in that order.
