Bad case of the "I wants"

Benner · **on:** March 21, 2009, 06:55:18 PM

After recent money issues, I have had to be very careful with my cash so I haven't bought anything new (have made a few trades though). This hasn't stopped me looking around though

and so I have compiled this list of the top 10 things I am drooling over;

1. ANY silver SAK
2. Benchmade Sentinel
3. Gerber MP600 DET
4. Cold Steel Black Rock Hunter
5. SOG Powerassist or new Powerlock
6. Leatherman Squirt E4
7. Cold Steel Kukri
8. Wenger Swissgrip
9. Extrema Ratio BF2TD
10. CRK Mnandi

So what's on your list at the moment?

Hoping to get a Wenger Evogrip 18 for my birthday and then I shall obsess about getting a Swisstool Spirit I think. I try to keep the want list short and doable.

Magic Bus · **Reply #4 on:** March 21, 2009, 08:07:38 PM

In no particular order, but, big hint, my birthday is coming

1 Spyderco UKP
2 Fallkniven U1

3 A Sebenza

4 New Spirit
5 SAK's with brass liners
6 My birth date Soldier
7 BO Spirit

8 Snazzy lanyards for my SAK's
9 New flashlight
10 Telecaster ( non MT but you didn't specify, Ben

)

Sean · **Reply #5 on:** March 21, 2009, 08:15:07 PM

A G-10, FRN, AND STAINLESS BYRD MEADOWLARKS. I just might grab them all. I did acquire the black Meadow. I really like the size and they carry well and hold not too bad an edge. Nothing fancy or expensive for me.

Good to see someone has their priorities in the right place.

Nikos · **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2009, 09:15:41 PM

1. OH Spirit.

2. SI'09 Spirit.

And that's about it... See? I don't want much...

Neil · **Reply #11 on:** March 21, 2009, 09:40:21 PM

Unlike Noth, I want it all! Only ten items. Wouldn't know how to narrow it down that far

David Bowen · **Reply #12 on:** March 21, 2009, 09:41:00 PM

Actually right now I am content, got some stuff coming my way that should keep me going for a while. If I had to think of some stuff I think these would be it:

Benchmade Griptilian
Spydero Paramilitary

No tool wants really, pretty good in that dept. Might want a Kershaw tool if I can find one.

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2009, 10:13:10 PM

At the moment not much, remarkably enough

GB Mini Hatchet
Wenger Swiss Grip
Vic First Mate
And a decent Buck saw

Styerman · **Reply #14 on:** March 21, 2009, 10:15:44 PM

My list is pretty short . A Rambler , a large SAK ( Swisschamp,Ranger , or Handyman ) , one of the new Spirits ( spearpoint blade and scissors ) .

Knife wise , I would like a Spyderco Urban , and a good Scandi .

Tell me about it. My Go Pack ate the EDC Camper after I was caught at a party without a corkscrew. And it doesn't even match my Vic alox LED.

MultiMat · **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:25:20 AM

Ben I have bought maybe a little more than I should have

so I too am having to restrain myself

2.Silver Alox Farmer & Soldier
3. Schrade Toolbox(these do not come up often)
4.Damascus Kershaw Leek

(must chase up Aussie customs to see if they would seize it)
5.Swisschamp
6.BO LM Mini
7.BAK , Aussie issue
8.Spirit
9.A early PST (Personal Survival Tool) would be good
10. A good story to tell, as too why I need the above

I think you are right ALP as there was a Aussie Ebay seller who was getting AO knives imported & he offered to get me Damascus Leek but wanted to charge me $115us

AO knives are illegal in the state I live in so I would be in a bit of strife if I got into trouble whilst carrying it, not likely as I try not to be a dickhead

cgk · **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2009, 03:30:43 AM

How about an Alox OHT with pocket clip for left hand carry....

There's one on eBay right now for a really low price.

Same seller also has a red one. Both auctions expire tomorrow.

No modding needed. You want a Wenger Motorist.

There is also an older version of the Motorist which includes pliers:

Due to the economic crisis I wouldn't be surprised if some company starts leasing multitools.

Here is my want list:
1. Mike Horn Ranger Knife
2. Skeletool CX
3. Swisstool spirit
4. Victorinox SwissChamp
5. Vic swisschamp xlv

Not exactly, hockey and knives are my only left handed preferences. I prefer a left hand carry for knives though and it is very frustrating (as Im sure you know) on the lack of left handed options for pocket clip knives.
