So what did y'all end up buying this year (2021)?

[Cowboyfromhell]

I have been into the knife hobby for 3 years now and every year I take stock of what came in and how many. Think I might separate by year into each drawer by just to see how my tastes have evolved....so far this year has been the most pieces bought at 16! (10 spydercos)

Green Rit dye so I could pretend I have new knives

[Ramonade]

I bought plenty. I had spydercos before but my collection was oriented towards "modern traditionnal" knives with some exceptions. Previous to 2021 I had the Native 5 G10 in S35VN, Para 3 G10 S30V.

I bought 4 Native 5 (Maxamet, S110V, LC200N and Fluted CF S90V)
Chapparal FRN
Sage 5 LW
Para 3 Maxamet
Paramilitary 2 S45VN
Manix 2 LW CTS-BD1N
Endura 4 ZDP-189
Ladybug K390
Stretch 2 K390
Watu

Managed to stick to my usual 1-by-month rule. Exception made for a used Native 5 Fluted CF, 200€ was a good deal, too good for me to let it go by !

Edit : didn't manage to stick to my rule, I bought an Endela, a Centofante III and a GB2 after christmas (money to choose my own knife + some of my own $)

[Superflex]

i only got two this year and waited all the way until the end for them. i picked up a spydiechef that i won't get to start carrying until after Christmas and my first mule. both are kind of big deals for me for different reasons.

i will say there are at least four other knives i'd have bought if they had been available when the time was right. i've been wanting a g10 manix, an ikuchi, a brouwer, and a s35vn resilience.

Congratulations, most excellent knives you've got yourself. Enjoy them, and I'd be interested in your opinion on the chef later on.

[Pokey]

Lot's of knives, bandanas, coffee cups, and one hat.

[JRinFL]

I refuse to reply because I need plausible deniability.

[Monty]

I'm surprised I didn't get a call from Spyderco to see if I was ok.

Only purchases were a BBS Delica, a serrated P4 lightweight, and a bone Kiwi. I tried to land a Magnacut Mule but failed.

Hopefully next year brings some new collabs out of Taichung and some new serrated Salts.

[JSumm]

If my wife ever finds out this year's bounty, I'm just going to forward her this thread to read.

So she was gracious and bought me a Native 5 in SPY27 coming for Christmas. That's all. That's all.

[Cowboyfromhell]

Glad to see Im in good company with folks who went nuts! I thought 16 was overboard but hey, all my bills are paid! I think 2022 will be the same...definitely a shaman, chief, smock, techno, another CRK just to name a few!

[DansGearAddiction]

I'm still hunting down a Chaparral Sun & Moon, so hopefully get one of those before the year is over, but so far:

• Delica 4 (K390)
• Domino
• Dragonfly (K390)
• Mule Team 35 (Magnacut)
• Paramilitary 2 (Maxamet)
• Salt 2
• SpydieChef CQI

The Dragonfly stuck around and my Mule Team is still in transit; all the others are gone, but I do plan on picking up another SpydieChef at some point which will remain in the collection. I only got rid of the SpydieChef since there was a trade I couldn't pass up.

[kennethsime]

Honestly, the last two years blend together - I'm not really sure.

Here're the most recent Spydercos though:
- K390 Stretch
- H1 Dragonfly Hawkbill Salt
- ZWear Shaman
- K390 Dragonfly

If the Crucarta PM2 drops at DLT this year, that'll be added to the list.

[Archimedes]

I have been collecting knives for 25 years plus and I don't keep track of the knives that I buy anymore. I know I bought a couple Pacific salts with the green handle. I bought a few Military's. I bought this set of S110V folders.

[Kevinim82]

I bought a…
Salt 2 LC200N
Bunka Bocho super blue
Para 3 LW Spy27
Para 3 S45vn
PAC salt 2 H1 SE
Paramilitary 2 Maxamet
Magnacut Mule
Native 5 salt

And quite a few deep carry clips and a few sets of scales, and of course a mug!

I have a policy in my brain where I like to keep around 8 or so Spyderco’s in my collection, and the rest of them, I use for a year or so, and give them away to family and friends who I want to geek out with me.

So far my dad is the only other family member to enjoy the bug.
