A wider tip and more belly.

I would vote for something in between

Tough crowd :)

I'd love a SE reverse S Dragonfly

I quite like CTS-XHP as an all-around steel: no real weakness and so much to like. VG10 is still fine though.

Uncoated lock bar makes a huge difference in the looks on this one imo.

It sure does, and I like it much better than the black version. Now I'm definitely sure to buy one... whenever it comes.

I would, I have (original "Smurf" Sage 3) and I would do it again.

A Native with the Q-Ball lock. Or a Manbug with a Jester-like blade (Manster? Jestbug?).

I bought two at the same time: a Centofante 3 and a SS Jester.

Native and Dragonfly for me, but I'll probably try a Manix at some point.

I thought it would be worse, to be honest. There's no knife I'm really sorry to see discontinued as in previous years. Maybe I'll get a One-Eyed Jack, if the price is right...

Definitely before Christmas then. Santa's going to be extra busy this year :)

The usual suspects: Jester, Dodo and Persian. Any - or all - of them, please.

Folders:

Spyderco Native S110V
Spyderco Persian
Spyderco Manbug Salt
Opinel n°8

Fixed blades:

Mora 546
Mora 120
ESEE 3 HM

SAK:

Victorinox Classic
Victorinox Explorer
Victorinox Locksmith

Right now I have all of these except the Manbug.

The thing I like about clips? They're removable...

I understand why they are popular, but for me a clip just ruins the ergonomics and the design of a knife.

The Pacific Salt is a very popular knife, but for some reason the Salt and the Atlantic Salt don't receive as much attention.

If I don't use the choil - and I usually don't - the Dragonfly is a 3 finger knife for me; but I can get a confortable 4 finger grip if I use a lanyard, which is not possible with a Chaparral (no lanyard hole).

The Dragonfly is a classic. It can't get obsolete.

It took me years to get a Native, which is weird because it's a knife that has always intrigued me.

Now that I have one in S110V, it's pretty much the only knife I use on a daily basis. Which doesn't mean I'm not waiting for the Native Salt (are we there yet?)

The one I use the most is the Blurple Native. It also happens to be my favorite (the Persian being a close second).

if you look at it more and more it becomes a beauty :D )

Maybe I haven't looked long enough, but... no, not really :D

So... basically, a small serrated sickle?

this is not the best example. There have been a boatload of satin S90V Natives. The DLC is at least something new Yes, good point. Cutlery Shoppe should have done XHP S90V seems to work fine for them, but I would have preferred CTS-XHP as well (I used to have their PM2 in XHP). The only reason I ke...
