What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
Just wondering what folk are most looking forward to seeing as dealer exclusive steel/handle combos of the newly announced models like the Stretch 2 XL LW, Native Chief LW, Bodacious, etc?
I’m practically frothing at the mouth for a SNK 4V S2XL LW!

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
SNK and BHQ are the only two that seem to run the models I like, so I gotta go with them. Big fan of both 4V and M4, though I wish we could get both these steels in fixed blades where their toughness could shine better.
I voted BHQ. I love M4, jade G10 takes dye well, and Deadpool is one of the worst movies I've ever seen
I'd buy some of the other exclusives if they did bigger knives, but it seems there's a glut of delicas, para 2's and 3's etc., and no one wants to do the Police, Millie etc. besides the two above.

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
Gotta agree with vivi. The steel and color combination on the SNK and BHQ exclusives is by far the best in my opinion.
15 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

Knifejoy has the best exclusives. Satin 20CV and Neon Green G10 for when basic black gets too repetitive. Satin 20CV and Steel Blue FRN for low-key everyday carry. Good choice of models, too. Lil'Native, Manix, Para 3, Delica, Damascus Endela, Endura.

Rivers Edge Cutlery - OD Green G10 and FDE PVD Coated 204P blade is easily my favorite.

More so distributer exclusive but the teal s90v from MGE distributers would be cool to see more of.
The fradon lock marbled carbon fiber with elmax woukd be cool too. Manix in both would be a no brainer for me.

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
That would be tempting. I’d be down for an S2XL LE or NC LW in that combo too. I have a feeling the Bodacious is going to be the darling of most distributor exclusives for a while (which I’m not devastated about tbh).

An NC or M2XL from Fradon would be right up my street!

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
Since I have all the SNK models that's what I voted for
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
I really like the SNK exclusive combo. Probably was my favorite. However, my favorite all around steel is Cruwear. I also like dark green. I'm hoping Knife Joker does more Golden models in G10 like they did for the Shaman. That is what I voted for. My new favorite exclusive combo.

Being in/from Tennessee, I’m partial to Orange. I happen to really like XHP also…. And I already have several….

Voted Knifejoy 20CV/blue. I also like:
For tool steel I don't think I've bought a tool steel exclusive since the Knifecenter Cruwear/smooth black G10 Manix 2 in 2019. K390 regular production across the Seki lineup has all my needs covered there (and if I wanted something US production at this point I could go CruCarta and have several regular production options).
- Knifeworks 204P/Green (though they've also done lots of other materials in theirs)
- DLT 20CV or M390/Red or Red/Black
- BentoBoxShop M390 or 204P/Blue (though like others they've also had some variety)

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
Wish SNK did exclusives in something besides 4V because I really like their color combo, but not a big fan of most non-stainless (CruWear excepted cuz it is on the edge of resistance).
Top 5 6 - Stretch, Delica 4, Mantra 3, Smock, PM2, Techno 2
Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
I'm not-so-patiently waiting for a Fradon exclusive Manix XL, Shaman or Military 2.

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
I feel similarly, I like the St. Nick’s color combo but I only have their Jester - can we get it in a salt? Or at least a stainless?
The KnifeJoy 20CV Delica and Endura are my two most-carried non-salts (along with my Leafjumper) so I voted KnifeJoy.
My absolute favorite, though, is the DLT ladybug exclusives. Hopefully we get an actual Ladybug in that color scheme! Really anything in that color scheme (with the TiCn blade) is epic.

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
I voted knifecenter because I like cruwear and black g-10 is fine. I picked knifecenter over knifejoker and SNK because knifecenter does satin cruwear.
I really look forward to knifejoker and 4v SNK stuff too. Forest green is my favorite G-10 color.

Re: What’s your favourite exclusive for future models?
I am partial to both the Hap40/ Pakkawood and satin CruWear/ smooth black G10 from KC. This my vote.
I also quite like satin CruWear with purple G10 from DLT.
One favorite exclusive only because the blade shape and model is the HH drop point UKPK with s30v and red G10.
Another favorite, only because the model is the Knife Joker Jester in 20CV and GITD FRN.

Can't stop myself imagining a CPM + Elforyn or Super tusk JD Smith
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
