I was just wondering what all of you plan on buying next. My next purchase will definitely be one of the new MT Hawks.

Nick,

I've placed a reservation for one of the new Mission MPK-SS knives. These are the A2 steel versions of their titanium multi-purpose knife. Mine is to be the middle size with an OAL of 10.5", plain edged and Al Ni Nitride coated. They made up 10 of this size so far (believe 7 are coated). Mission will be showing them at the SHOT Show. I should get it a week or two after the show is over.

Beyond that I'm just watching developments.

I would like to get something from Wayne Goddard but I think the wait is long.

Next is going to be a left handed sebenza and then a out the front hawk, if I have a second job by then.

If I were rich, this would be a lot harder to answer. I'm not, so I'm debating the merits of a Stiff K.I.S.S. or a CS Bushman.

Actually, I think I'm going to save the money and get a bar of Daryl Meier's laminate. Does that qualify as a knife? Pre-knife?
;-)

i'm not sure if Dellana Warren will be working the show but if she is and has a knife for sale buy it, then post it for us all to drool, if you have a digital camera please take it along so we can see what we've missed.

Nick,
I got an email from Anne Reeve last week telling me my large Sebenza will be ready by Feb 20th. Needless to say, I am looking forward to it.

Unless I completely lose my mind (a distinct possibility

) in the next six weeks or so, the next big purchase will be a Kit Carson medium (3.5" blade length) Model 4 Hunter. It'll have CPM 440V steel, carbon fiber scales, titanium bolsters, and a hand-rubbed satin finish. This'll be my first custom folder. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Well I haven't gotten my Axis Lock yet, but now I'm trying to decide if I want to wait and see what new axis lock knives will be introduced at the Shot or Blade Show. Time will tell....
Blades
 
Spyderco Military (either edge) though a Sebenza is tempting.

Fixed Blade w/ kydex preferably
A Mad Dog blade preferably not a tanto
A Mad Dog Mirage X, I hate sharpening
Or
A Busse Police Recruit or Mean Street
A Dozier or Nealy
A Rinaldi Sharkstooth (Triple Aught Design), Spook or even a Taipan
A Boyer Drop Point
A Spyderco Moran (Budget Thing)
A Chris Reeve One Piece
A Mission MPK or MPS

That's it for now,

Next week I am expecting a couple of packages.
One should have my new Madpoet Mini Texas Bowie (the one on his website). The other should have an MD Operator and a DH Russell. Should have been an Ek fighter, also, but Aus Customs decided they wanted it. Was gonna fight them and could have won but it would have meant letting them keep the other knives until the situation was resolved. I did not want some public servant playing with the Operator for the next month or so.

I just ordered a D2 flat grind Chetan from Rob Simonich. Next is going to be a Fowler Fat Boy Tanto!

next i will be purchasing a TOPS Steel Eagle 111, and a Maddog ATAK. Following those will be a T.H. Rinaldi Warhawk, a Busse Badger Attack, or a Busse Mean Street. Which of the Busses is out in INFI will help with my decision. Does anyone know which ones are besides the Battle Mistress and the Steel HEart.
 
Well, my answer would have been the Handiman and the Kozuka with the drop point blade (both from RJ Martin) -- I say "would have" because I just actually acquired them. R. J. was very kind to indulge me by allowing me to visit his shop. Needless to say, I am blown away by the Handiman's drop-point recurved blade, and also the drop point smooth-belly blade on the Kozuka. For the first time in my life, I was terrified to do the shave test because when I just touched the blades to the back of my hand the hair just fell off without my trying!!!! We're talking *beyond* scary sharp! The Kozuka mahogany sheath with magnets is one of the best designs I've ever seen -- I can draw the blade completely silently. I also had the opportunity to handle his DA folder and the Quickening FB -- the Quickening, in my opinion, could cut an arm off without a problem -- it's that tough and sharp. If I could have afforded it, I'd have taken home all these pieces! But at least I have the Handiman and the Kozuka. All of the pieces can easily be described as perfectly balanced and very solid to hold, with flawless fit and finish.

I'll post further stuff in Reviews, but for now, if you are interested in R.J.'s stuff, start ordering now from him and Les Robertson, because I feel he is gonna be the "next guy" on the very top of the custom biz, and he is already getting backordered!

Best Regards,

Brian.

P.S. Thanks to RJ for the great work and first-class customer treatment!
