Probably the second best film ever made (after Dog Soldiers). There’s just no accounting for taste in some people (yes, that was a chef joke 😉).

Tough decision as there are so many good ones!

I went with other - I would like to see someone pick up 4V uncoated.

After that it is a toss-up between cruwear green and cruwear purple as I don’t have any cause they haven’t done models I’m interested in.

Have some in xhp orange, jade M4, and cv20 blue - otherwise they would be on the toss-up list too.

Fradon Lock has done uncoated 4v with marbled CF. The Manix was saber ground. At the time it didn't appeal to me, but if available again I might go for it.

I have passed on several SNK exclusives because of the coated blades. I would still like to try 4v.

I am not sure this is really a series. They have used Elmax and marbled CF (PM2) and Hap40 with CF (Delica).

i'm not a fan of deadpool. i love sarcastic, dark humor, but i don't care for all of the vulgarity. but, i think this would probably be deadpool's knife.

I like purple/black a lot - lots of options in cruwear now, though

I'm sure a natural g10/m4 Bodacious is coming at some point

What I really wish there were more of is the green/orange red 45 cutlery shoppe exclusives

I would be interested in Delica, Native Chief, and UKPK.

I tried there D4 Hap40/CF - the finish on the edges of the CF wasn’t done that well and I ended out selling it.
So many knives - so little funds!!!

Wish SNK did exclusives in something besides 4V because I really like their color combo, but not a big fan of most non-stainless (CruWear excepted cuz it is on the edge of resistance).
Speak for yourself, 4v is an amazing steel and almost impossible to find in regular production knives.

Can’t say I much like dealers marking their territory with unique steel/handle-color combinations (but, then, I dislike sports-venues being named for sponsoring corporations).

Which is not to say that I have avoided sponsored exclusives. I prefer to pick and choose naively, rather than knowingly reward dealers for buying influence.

OTOH…. Knowingly rewarding dealers by buying from them makes the knife world go ‘round.

Being in/from Tennessee, I’m partial to Orange. I happen to really like XHP also…. And I already have several….
I’m also from Tennessee and really do love the Cutlery Shoppe orange — they nailed it. A fully serrated XHP Military 2 would be something I’m ordering immediately.
