Bodacious S90V sprint has like 99% of my attention at the moment. The Dyad Jr sprint will probably be my nearest next purchase and then probably a 15V Chief.

Of course I will buy at least 2 - Spyderco Native Chiefs in 15V.

Over the last few days I have been looking at charts produced by Larrin, and thinking about what vivi said to me about the toughness of self defense knives. I think that I am going to purchase a few more Spyderco Native Chiefs in CruWear and make that my carry folder.

The Starmate was the next on the list untill the recent release of the Bodacious in S90v/CF. Also have my eyes on the Crucarta Native Chief......so many awsome knives....Oh! And the Meerkat because I love that phantom lock.

My short list is a list of one!

UKPK LC200N SE Green handle

I’m all out of knife money at the moment, so hopefully it will be available next year sometime?

Otherwise, I’ll be looking at next year’s Sprint Runs and Exclusives!

Probably no other production knives unless it’s something really special.

Bodacious Spy27 with Rockscale Design Media Wash scales. But I'll probably wait until the Bodacious is offered with Magnacut or Maxamet. A video I watched claimed that the Titanium scales distributed handle weight better, reducing 'blade forward' weight issue (in his opinion). I just think this Titanium treatment looks fantastic.

I was going to say my list is the shortest . . . just one . But you beat me to it.

The only thing I am interested in is the BBB designed folder .

Going to be a long wait I'm afraid .
Glad they have the new factory / expansion built . If not could be even longer .
Maybe after Christmas Sal can invite some of Santa's elves down to Colorado to help out here . :thinking
Of course maybe Sal lent some of his elves to Santa . . . :flushed

Trying to find something in Rex 45, S90V, 15V, K93 or Maxamet. Looking for Shaman, Bodacious, Manix2, PM2 or something I would not usually gravitate to.

I have a feeling that the Starmate is going to be on a lot of people's lists, but as a lefty, most frame/liner locks don't interest me as much, and I've developed a good manual of arms for the righty compression lock.

It seems the farther I go into my knife journey, the more I don't know, and the more refinement is necessary. My knife choice has started to land more on the 'situational' rather than the 'preferential' or 'collectable', although it is fun to have those as well, especially on the weekends.

After picking up my daughter a Lil' Native 15V, it got me thinking about the Lil' Native more. Yes, I have the Chap LW and it is a fantastic knife, but I'd have to say that the Lil' Native is probably the 'friendliest' or 'most innocent' looking Spyderco, and carrying such a knife, in a friendly handle color, could go a long way into normalizing knife carry for many non-knife people. I think there is some self-actualized aspect in all this, where we start looking for how we can positively impact others. And I'm starting to think that carrying something like an innocuous Lil' Native for most tasks might be just the ticket. Long way of saying that the Lil' Native is now on my list, and fortunately with one in the home, I get to play around with it. Here is how the short list is shaping up:

1. Knifejoy / 15V Lil native
2. Military 2 15V
3. Ayoob
4. Police 4 K390
5. Military LH
6. Bodacious of some flavor (preferably a future iteration of 15V or Magnamax)
7. PM2 Cruwear
8. Native 5 15V
9. Native Chief Cruwear (to turn into a Native 'Elder' in 3.5" length)
10. Swick 6 w/ removed handles for neck knife
11. JM2 H1 (if they have any left at the Seconds Sale next year)
12. Autonomy H1

Haha...12...that is the 'short list' !

The Sage 6 is available in S90V, and I really like the pushbutton lock release.
