I was able to get ahead of bills and fullfill my saving quota for the month early even after Christmas presents. So this morning I was able to order a Super leaf, Grasshopper and Honeybee. Once again I have the thrill of waiting for the mailman :) It will be very enjoyable getting a new larger folder :D Hopefully it will arrive before the 25th.
I believe I know what to expect, a largish, beefy, comfortable, strong and tall folder with a blade thickness of 5/32". The compression lock will be new to me and will be interesting to experience :) It will also be very enjopyable to decide who will get the Grasshopper and Honeybee :D
Anybody have some input on the Superleaf? Also, what are you getting yourself for Christmas?
Superleaf on the way! What are you getting yourself for Christmas?

Through some miracle I got a Christmas bonus. So I'm getting a Schempp Rock from CS, it's in the mail now currently in Boise ID.
The reason I might not have gotten a bonus is my company lost a huge part of it's business when the government decided to no continue funding the C.O.P (Community Oriented Policing) program in February. That pays for taking care of meth lab waste. So I got a 6% pay cut and a loss of about $3,000 in overtime over the year. But the company through cutbacks managed to avert a $600,000 loss and at least break even if not come up a little ahead.

The superleaf is a great knife. It's sorta like a Manix 2 but with a compression lock and a bigger choil. It might even have a thicker blade. It is beefy for sure!
This year, I'm exploring fixed blades. I'm picking up a bushcraft and a temperance 2. I'm also eying the Ka-Bar JAB Pot Belly pretty hard too.

I just got the Superleaf as an early Christmas present to myself. It is now among my top three favorites (others being my Sage2 and Manix2 M4). Although too big for me to EDC, I have taken it to whittle while walking my dogs in the hay field nearby. Love that big hunk of VG-10 (my Dragonfly made me a believer in this steel). The choil is forward of the thumb ramp (as discussed in another thread), but put your index finger in the choil and your thumb on the 4mm-thick spine and you can put some serious and precise force on your cutting object. I have likened it to my slightly thinner Para2, except it doesn't hint at being tactical, and it has a wire clip. I suspect you will be well pleased.dbcad wrote:Anybody have some input on the Superleaf? Also, what are you getting yourself for Christmas?

Looking forward to the Superleaf :D It feels like I made the right choice :)
Temp2 and Bushcraft are both extremely fine fixed blades. They don't come out as often as the folders, but mine are both used and razor sharp :D :D

No input on the Superleaf except that it looks like one massive knife :D Personally I ordered myself a Delica 4 ZDP. Still hoping it will make it here before Christmas. *Sending a prayer to the mail and customs gods*dbcad wrote:Anybody have some input on the Superleaf?

Decided my inner child needed a jack-in-the-box to play with, so I got myself a Citadel for Christmas. :D
Also got myself an FRN Manbug to see what they're like.
