Been a wild last month with some great buys. What’s the next hyped knife to look out for so we can begin budgeting? :D

Well, perhaps not really "hyped knives" (?) for many, but for me:
- Sun and moon Chap
- Rockjumper SE... (not TOO much "budgeting" necessary for that one also ;) )
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Sun and Moon Chap for me as well. It has been a long wait for this one.

The Swayback has generated a lot of hype. It will probably be one of the new ones that's in every filtered Instagram knife picture and most knife-related YouTube channels.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately(for my wallet), there are no upcoming knives I'm hyped about.

Check out the Reveal 4 and Reveal 5 from this year. Still a few knives in both that have yet to drop.

My next knife will be the Rex45 Chief. Not sure if it will be popular. On one hand it is the first sprint of a newer model and they usually do well. If it does well they should consider a Rex45 Manix BL. On the other hand it is a large knife and a backlock. Two things that the knife community don’t always embrace. We shall see!

The K390 Seki knives may do well. They are not sprints but I expect the first batch of Delicas to move quickly.

I'm looking forward to the K390 Endura, Delica, and Dragonfly. I may grab a Rex45 Manix LW as well.

For me:

Rex45 & S90V Chief Sprints
Z-Wear/Micarta Shaman Sprint (+any other new Shaman)
SE RockJumper (probably a PE as well)
All things K390 - the whole Seki suite...
...and hopefully we'll see the highly anticipated K390 Shaman & Manix2 soon, those are my #1 & #2 most wanted.

Really hoping that the Mule Team takes off and the new generation of forum members gets a good taste. Would love to have been part of the beginnings of the project and get the previous steels like: Damascus, K390, Maxamet etc.

Really interested in the collaboration with BBB! Should be a white hot knife!

It's going to bee a copper Shaman in damascus steel.

Just kidding, that would be crazy though.

As for the upcoming announced models, I'm excited for the Spyopera and the Sun and moon chap. But both of those will be regular production knives, so shouldn't have the same frenzy to get them.

A k390 shaman and/or Manix would certainly get my attention, and DLT teased an upcoming mystery 2020 model in Cruwear which I am very curious about.

The REC PM2 will probably break their site.

Hopefully they ordered 2400! :-)

But they might be able to sell 4800.

Oh good call. I keep forgetting about that one. I did see an update from them the other day - apparently spyderco is still working on getting the pvd just right. So still no eta.
