Re: What’s on your current short list?
There's a Mantra 2 on AZCK for $180, right now.
I sold my heavily used Mantra 1 for more than that a few months ago, so it seems like a great price to me.
Wishlist: S290, Vancron, S125V

Absolutely the sprint run of the military 2, that sports the S90V blade, w/ carbon fiber scales.
The C36CFP2...
I have been waiting for this one knife for way to long, it has been so long in fact that it's; I am not so patiently waiting lol...

I’m actually thinking of jumping on a couple Byrd meadowlarks as they are on sale right now. One for me and one for my son.

Re: What’s on your current short list?
A plain edge black micarta calypso jr. Is number one for me but they’re expensive and hard to come by, an original c54 pe too, but the original c52 in black micarta my fav knife of all time.
And I’ll keep my frn one around as more of a beater version of the knife. Other knives… an original lil temp serrated leaf, original ss atr, native 2 are some other sal designs I’d like to have, I’ve also been checking out a lot of the old Moki made spyderco collabs from the golden era like the zowada, shabaria, schempps n some others, there’s a lot of great knives in that era I love

there was a SS ATR posted to the crazy deals thread. https://www.northernknives.com/online-s ... p698528937Tristan_david2001 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 1:22 pmA plain edge black micarta calypso jr.

I owned one and liked it but the scales were a bit slick for my taste. Always wanted the black version because I figured it'd have better grip. The 2 solved this issue but came out when I was dead set against buying detent based locking knives. Really cool design, I akways liked the cobra hood and integral lock.
My list:
+ Native Chief Salt
+ Cruwear Temperence
+ Military 2 of some sort (maybe a DLC PE on sale, maybe hold out for a salt...)
That's for models we know about. Interested to check out the next reveal and see what's cooking in Golden.
