Well, after much research, it has to be Mike Janich's Yojimbo! So, what is yours?

Hey Jur! Happy New Year dude! Yeah, the Para-Millie would be a welcoming addition! <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

So many to choose from...
Chinook II - this knife, assuming I can find a dealer who has one, will most certainly be my first new Spyderco purchase for 2004. If for no other reason (and there are actually plenty of other reasons) than that, after all my "remember us lefties" posts, I have to put my money where my mouth has been.
Navigator II - wow, Sal's low key announcement of this little jewel caught me totally by surprise, but what a pleasant surprise it was! Lets see, flat ground blade, bolsters, real wood scales, tip down carry, only way this knife could scream "MINE" any louder would be if my name was on it (but THAT would open a whole 'nother can of worms). Do I dare hope for the "ambi" option on this one?
Kopa - the Kiwi has me sold solid on the virtues of Wharncliffe blades, so the idea of a larger front lock with this blade style is extremely appealing to me.
Vesuvius II - ok, I probably whined and griped more about the original one more that anyone, but the idea of that blade in a front lock handle really does excite me. Assuming the issue of the sharp point at the top of the "hump" has been addressed, and that it will be available WITHOUT a "shell inlay" I'll be one of the first in line for the new one.
SpyderFly - given that my hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills flat out suck, balisongs should really not be high (or even low, for that matter) on my "want" list. A video of me playing with the one I have would probably put the "light sabre kid" one to shame for sheer putzitute. But I still want one!
Finally, in a post I intended more as a joke than anything else, not because I did not sincerely want such a knife, but because I was enough of a realist to figure that it almost certainly not be economically feasible for Spyderco to cater to my penchant for PE Spydies, I asked "how big a bribe it would take" to get a plain edge version of the new 93mm Rescue. To my total shock and amazement, Sal responded that he will at least consider making up a batch of fifty of them! Fellow Spyderholics, even if you don't see any real use for a PE sheepsfoot, just THINK of the future collector potential for such a short-run knife and chime in on this one! Color is up in the air, so if you want one, and have a preference between black, blue, or orange, chime in on that too. I'm easy in that regard, will be quite content with any one of them, and would really like it to be whichever one will sell the best.
Then there's the Salt, this one really does not count as mine is already "in the pipeline", just did not arrive in 2003. This one has so many features I like, large hole, front lock, ambi clip, and "sheepsfootish" blade shape, plus corrosion resistance, that the only wonder is why it took me over a month to get around to buying one.

The top of my list is a WTC knife.
Next is a Chinook II -- I wasn't sure about this one until I read Firebat's post (with pics!) in the Spyderco Forum on BladeForums:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showt ... did=285973
Finally, I am looking forward to the run of black G-10 Dodos.

The Para-Millie has been top of the list for quite some time and I can't wait for it to become available.
A Nav II (or more) is now also added to that list along with a Yojimbo.
I'd be interested in a pair of PE 93mm Rescues (one to use and one safe queen). As for colour my brain says orange would be most useful but my eyes say "yuck", most likely black would be best.
