    I'll be adding a MKT Micro Praetorion to my carry rotation as soon as my Medford order gets here, and for my collection, I be looking to add a Todd Rexford custom....his Gamma model is freakin awesome! This is all subject to change once I get to this years Blade show (June 6-8) and see other cool stuff that I'll want. :)

    A nice belt grinder and lots and lots of steel. Hopefully I can make it happen this year. I've been trying to make it happen for a couple years now with no success. 2014 is gonna be a good year for me. I just know it. :)

    My mind and my heart agree with you . . . my bank account says, "No, no, no!"

    Seriously! How does a guy go from Zero Tolerance envy to having a freakin' collection of ZT knives in half a year? D'OH!!

    Instead of questioning it, I tend to look at it as an accomplishment.....but then again I haven't been to a knife anonymous meeting in over 20 years. :D

    I just ordered a new 2x72. Should have it in a week or so.
    The rest of my list is...

    etcher
    blast cabinet (should pick that up this week also)
    a ton of other tools
    steel
    time to make a lot more than I did in 2013

    No actual knives on my list.

    your already ahead of me lol. I keep telling myself that I want to build a grinder instead of buying one, but I think ill just drop the dime (if the banker will give me some change) and buy one and get it over with.

    What grinder did you order?

    Maybe a Medford
    Hopefully a Garyman Dua that I'd pick up "used"
    Maybe a Randall 14 that I can beat on
    INFI if any new designs float my boat, but old school A2 or ATS34 would rock
    Spyderco has some knives I wouldn't mind picking up
    Maybe a Protech, but I don't have much use for a full auto knife
    Would love for a Hinderer or 3, fixed or folding, a production wharny would be cool and crossing fingers for a production skinner :D


    On a side note: I say this now, but I don't plan on getting any new damn guns, but I know that'll fail epically. Hopefully a 30 cal suppressor, maybe a 12ga AOW. Can always use more reloading stuff and ammo.

    Wilmont LB1000. It's no TAG, but for the kit grinders I think it's the most versatile. Plus it's far superior to my Coote.

    I thought about building one from scratch, but I get so little time in the shop as it is, I'd rather spend it building knives than building tools.
