2017 Wish List

I know it's a bit early, but we've got to give Jason and crew some lead time to get the final go-ahead, and work up some more CAD files for our viewing pleasure.

My personal wish list is as follows. I kept it to five, but we could all easily go into the double digits, I'm sure. Post your wish list as well...

552-17 ---LE Ritter, 250 pcs total, G10 with the -1 texture. 125pcs in orange G10 with black liner and spacers, 125pcs in black G10 with orange liners and spacers, Elmax or M4, Stonewased DLC. Numbered discreetly like the other Ritter's, so the torch keepers have some trivia. (It's been a while since the last 552 LE, and like others have said, Mr. Ritter's contract will expire eventually too)

15085-1 and -2 ---Mini crooked river 3.4" blade, slightly thinner (I prefer the orange and wood combo personally) Something I can *legally* carry in 3.5" states.

928-1701 ---LE Proxy, in S90/110V with scalloped, layered CF, barrel spacers, and a pattern ano'd Ti frame. I'm thinking green themed.

7555-1701 LE (not Gold) manual pocket rocket. M390, and G10/CF/ANYTHING!

210-1701 ANY bolstered Snody activator will suffice. Leather sheaths please.

And if there's a P.S., can I ask that the 710, if discontinued (rest in perpetuity), be relegated to the 730 status. Where every few years, we get a couple of awesome LE's.

My wish for 2017 would be a Nakamura design Gold Class or LE. A 484 would be OK, but what I'd really like is something in between the 482 and 484 - maybe a 2.75 inch blade.

Aside from Nakamura, my 2017 plans are to grab any new releases that catch my eye, and other than that hopefully add an LE or two and maybe a Gold Class.

[Po] No it's not...

15085-1 and -2 ---Mini crooked river 3.4"

[Po] Lots of room on the Crooked River handle, so it should scale down very nicely!

7555-1701 LE (not Gold) manual pocket rocket. M390, and G10/CF/ANYTHING!

[Po] Why oh why is this not a standard model?

...and a Fixed Bedlam in a pear treeeeee!!!

I hope BKC 2017 new designs are wildly successful & I personally will hate them all.

But if a 943-1 or a 940BK-1 are part of the line up I will not be able to resist them

I definitely can't discuss anything like that on a public forum post until the Marketing team announces the new lineup.. Sorry.

Nice! I think I may actually be going this year.

Never know until it happens though.
You know how it goes...

This isn't the knife you're looking for (said like Obi-Wan Kenobi) You really want a TSEK!

This +1.

And if you are going to shrink down the Crooked River, why not shrink down the axis TSEK too?

The return of the 910, but with M390.

And no, not a 908 Stryker. The old school Ti liner lock...

(not like the shot show grip)

How about something as simple as an uncoated Adamas in S30V.

Oh, also bring out the "Silver Class" like has been mentioned so many times. Something akin to the dealer exclusive knives, only available directly through Benchmade.
