Well, not as cool as a new set of wheels... but I've got a new Emerson and a Dirk Pinkerton custom that should be coming in around the solstice :) .

Great stuff guys. My GF says I'm hard to buy for because I buy the things I want for myself. I told her she is more than welcome to make my truck payment. That didn't go over so well

I'm getting $400 cash to put aside for the April OKCA show. Will be selling some stuff so that I have at least $1000. There should be some good Spyderco deals there as well as all the customs.

I am buying a 2012 Dodge 3/4 ton 4wd crew cab. I usually buy a new one every 2 years at Christmas time.

I always assess what I received after Christmas and then buy myself a present after. This year I'm thinking either a Para 2 or new tires and a tubeless kit for the new tires to go on my mountain bike.

Of course it will be a red Spyderco-box in Santas big bag.

It's a Native 5 :)
Great "little" knife, just the right "present" for "fathers eldest"!

I'm shure, it will be my EDC for the next months... until the next red box will arrive ;)
kind regards SAK

I like people like you. People who don't trow everything away and always wants new things. Like only Gucci or Louis Vuitton is good enough (for a short period of time, then they want something new) and the rest is garbage.

I had to replace my Mazda3 a few weeks ago. It spun a rod bearing and died a horrible death. So I ended up with a 2012 Honda Fit. Not exactly a gift I wanted but it happened. So a new car payment is what I got myself this year. ;)

Oh, and I have a pair of M390 Para 2s coming from the BBS but that's more of a coincidence.

A Translucent Manix 2 and a chamois cloth with embroidered :spyder:
It's ideal for removing fingerprints from spydies.
