I change my choice to Chaparral with marbled CF (with nested liners like the LW) and a SPY27 blade

This treatment to a Chaparral but with SPY27 core Damascus blade and titanium bolsters

Glad they kept the wire pocketclip & compression-lock. Was hoping for CTS-XHP, but I'm just happy it's not S30V. Definitely on my want list.

I agree- kind of wish it was just G10 and XHP to keep the cost down.. I feel like price point is going to keep a lot of people from picking this one up

Thanks ekastanis, I’ve been kicking myself after missing the Shaman at a similar low price. Same seller has new DLC PM2’s and Manix 2’s in S110V at nice prices($110 or so each) Great feedback as well!

That Para2 look legit to everyone? Thinking of picking one up at that price..

Thanks again for the chance curlyhairedboy! Congratulations blueblur- enjoy the bag!

Bradley Air 2: same shape and size with:

CTS-XHP
Back lock
Linerless CF
Wire clip

I doubt any of that will ever happen, but a guy can dream right?!

Very generous! I’m in! If I win I will hold a GAW of my own and keep the good fortune going! Merry Christmas!

I would say run both the 3.5 and the 3 in XHP and smooth micarta, but I would likely buy the 3 over the 3.5

*Edited to add that I would want it to have torx not pinned

This is awesome- I’m in, thanks so much! Hope to make it to a seconds sale one day myself!

I voted burgundy or navy but at this point I will likely try to buy anything the come out with so I can get a Jester. Would like to see it come in FFG SE VG-10 or LC200N with torx pivot.

I’d be in for a blacked out Native Salt! Was hoping to get a blacked out Native LW but wanted S35VN over S30V and can’t fine one in PE anywhere. I would take LC200N over both of these though!

My favorite is the Cricketfly Option B

The blade needs to be thin but not flexible. It needs to be no longer than 2.9 inches, but a tad shorter is maybe better. The blade cannot be too wide or broad so as to get inside and it needs a little curve near the tip for caping/skinning. The blade needs to be strong enough to cut off tiny feet ...

My vote goes for FFG LC200N with green E3 handle

I think the only thing that is 100% certain: The Pac Salt 2 won´t feature an E3 handle anymore... So I am sorry for you! (I personally slightly prefer the E4 handle anyway)

Don’t spoil my fun Wartstein!!

My vote goes for FFG LC200N with green E3 handle

I wish they had (and someday do) gone with a sling bag instead of messenger style. This is cool but it won't replace my 5.11 bag.

What 5.11 bag do you have?

I will be getting one of these, hoping the backspacer can easily be removed just like on the Efficient.

I will be following this thread and people’s reports to see if this is the case and then I may try to pick one up.

I have a manix backlock, and it's a good strong knife, although I think the scales are a bit too big and blocky. If they could be contoured like on the shaman, it'd be a great knife. With cruwear and contoured micarta scales, it'd be an excellent knife. I don’t have the Manix backlock but I would b...

Voting for a Manix Backlock to breath some new life into a model that died too soon!

I agree with this choice! Wish I would have tried this model out.. this version would be a go for me!

Ivory or white linen Micarta would look really nice on such a slim and classy design like the Chap.

I agree- ivory micarta with a titanium bolster and XHP
