Last year there was a short MAP holiday around black friday. The collective fantasy is willing another into existence this year.

I want a Subvert Sprint Run. Knifejoy has them for $350 but I’m waiting for a better deal.

I have a couple of "maybe"s: Enuff, Caly 3.5, and the as-yet-unreleased LW Stretch XL in a particle steel, and the LW Native Chief in SPY27...though they may not be available by November.

I just got a para3 combo blade, which is a very nice all around ec and I like it very much. But I really love my blacked out Manx. I decided to not trim it in red, it just looks so nice in all black. just handling that really makes me want an Manix 2 XL in all-black as well

I also got a yojimbo which is very nice, and I want a yojumbo next but I can't find one in brushed, only black. Despite what I jsut said about the manix lineup, I really dont like the "yo" line in all-black. But i may crack and get it anyway.

Also on my short-list is a salt, which I keep putting off for "real knives" (yes I know thats a horrible way to think about it but yall know what i mean)

finally I am also thinking about a manix with a combo blade. After that Ill be done shopping for knives until November, or until a sprint/exc drops that I just have to have

i want a magnacut manix salt above all else.

i want a few pacific salts. all black se, yellow pe, and green pe. i want to try h2 in both se and pe and i want a pe ffg pac salt to carry with my se pac salt when i'm in board shorts.

i want to try a leafjumper in k390 because both will be new to me.

i've got my eye on that stretch xl with nishijin and damascus, and a dlc military 2.

a yojimbo trainer is in the "forgiveness instead of permission" queue for whenever it pops up again.

i'm still debating a salt 2 wharncliffe. i know is love the knife, but im not sure i'll need it with the lc200n pe pac salt and my current 20cv wharncliffe delica. just seems too redundant.

hoping for a dlt red/black zome and ticn folder to come out. specifically, a ladybug ladybug.

other than that, i've got some custom scales on my list, as well as a couple cold steels and fixed blades.

Stretch 2 XL Nishijin, PM2 Salt, maybe M4 Tenacious. The Stretch is the only definite one.

Waiting for the MagnaCut Salt UKPK's (both blade versions), the LW Native Chief. If there Stretch XL comes out in either a Salt or K390. I have some other's I'm waiting on for hopefully the MAP holiday.

Just the Microjimbo.

I already went overboard last month getting some discontinued wharnies.

For folders I’m patiently waiting for a Magnacut Manix 2 XL, that folding Bowie, the performance delica and a Military 2 Tanto (in any steel).

For fixed blades I’m hoping for some sort of blade heavy Magnacut salt work knife with a kydex sheath from Spyderco.

Oh, and a new run/version of the Ray Mears scandi grind folder - that thing is impossible to find for sale anywhere!

I don't have any specifics but I think this is more than just wishful thinking...
I would be really interested in a PM2 lightweight, and maybe something in Magnacut. If those 2 were combined into one model that would be great.
I might also be interested in an upgraded Bow River if something like that becomes available. And I may also be interested in some of their current kitchen knives.

Okay, I'm dropping the Tenacious and adding the PE MagnaCut UKPK.

My current “short list” extends well beyond this November’s horizon.

From Reveal 13:
K390 ENUFF2
DAMASCUS STRETCH sprint

From assorted designer’s mentions:
MAGNACUT PM2 SALT (unlined and grooved Black G10)
S30V EDGERATI (“racing” version of Shaman)
SHAMAN (handle-forward version)
CLIFF JUMPER (XL version of Rock Jumper)
SEQUOIA (XL version of Leaf Jumper)
BODACIOUS (some new Rescue model)
MIKE READ M398 PITS2
ALISTAIR PHILLIPS #2

EDIT TO ADD: Mention below of a MagnaCut Manix2 and of Shawn’s promised folder reminds me that my “short list” could lengthen, once I learn more about them.

A MagnaCut Manix2 Salt would be an instant buy for me if it is unlined (like the Manix2 throwback to the OG mid-lock) and the handle is milled G10 (just like the announced PM2 Salt).

Shawn’s folder will be an instant buy for me if I like its lines, which remain a mystery. 15V is necessary but not sufficient for me to commit.

Definitely getting these once they become available at any of my local retailers:
  • Microjimbo (satin & DLC)
  • Lil' Temperance 3 Lightweight in K390
  • Native 5 Salt PE in MagnaCut
Some "maybe" purchases, depending on availability & how much room I have in my budget:
  • Native Chief Lightweight in SPY27
  • Tenacious in M4
