I voted Leafstorm...
...but the so far no-vote Chicago was my second pick, and third goes to the RIL Sage 2.

I left a few out, the Cat, the Urban Rescue, Kopas... that just didn't seem to garner the attention of the above knives. I almost left the stretch out, but it has a ton of fans and I figured it would do well.
My list:
1. Chockwe: Its the square Chinese Folder, pretty open or closed, but instead of all curves its all angles. Nice work Sal!
2. Manix II: Tough. I would love to see the lock on more knives.
3. Leafstrom: I am a little iffy on this one, I love the looks and clear G10, but I am starting to get into thinner knives. I love the my Khukuri, its changing the way I look at my knife collection.
4. Ti Sage: I may not get it (i have the carbon version), but I love Ti and the stainless steel spyderco seems to hold up the best over time. This is the knife will have the perks of the SS knives without the weight penalty.
All this Ti makes me a little afraid of the prices of these knives. Well I am not afraid... but my wallet should be!

I agree, it makes me sad that I can't afford them all. I still love it though and I really really really want the new sage because of it. It would be the perfect upgrade for my large EDC knife. It has everything I want and more in the design.Killdozer wrote: All this Ti makes me a little afraid of the prices of these knives. Well I am not afraid... but my wallet should be!

All that carbon fiber worries me too, the cat, the chicago, the kopa. It is overloading my senses with anticipation. It actually makes me want to retire my SS Dragonfly for one of those :eek:

I voted for the leafstorm because i feel its going to be the begining of a very nice new trend in spyderco knives, but i am looking forward to the Manix II out of all the knives in the list.
