one of these:

this one is my grandfathers, I would probably get a new one from here and get either a custom leather sheath similar to the leather boot knife sheaths, or pancake style or a high riding kydex sheath.
I'd probably go for kydex, that way I can hang it upside down mecharness style from my civlabs shoulder holster, with other bits and peices on the offside.

Still looking for a real workhorse chopper in the 18 - 24 inch blade range, like what I had back home so many years ago. My Ma says it was closer to 18 inches, but it felt like a full two feet then. Not sure what the appropriate steel should be, though.

Don't really have a dream knife. I like scott cooks work but I find they are too rare etc to use so I would just keep it as a seller. I think that is a waste of a knife so it can't be my grail.

I really like Yuna knives as I feel like I could use them

So for now I will say Yuna eq 2. But my large seb is my dream knife as well.

I cant make up my mind...I just like too many knives

Dream Knife

I carry and use only handmade knives made in the styles of the 1700's-1800's period. I guess it would be the traditional style "Scalper" made for me by Matt Lesniewski of ML KNIVES. I have a Concealed Weapons Permit and wear both a pistol and knife (Had an attempted Carjacking back in April), and was glad I was armed.

Well said.

One day I'd like to try a blade of Kobuse construction with HSS and iron.

One of These!

Many manufacturers made them back in the day, would love an old Camillus or the like, an original one of these is my holy grail... 43 bucks for a dozen these routinely go for 300 and up now... man i need a time machine

If you're talking production knives that I could actually buy, I'd say the Sage Carbon fiber model. Really not that bad at $110-120, but I'm off buying knives for the rest of the year. (after purchasing 4 so far this year)

If you're talking a true "Dream" knife, I love Keith Ouye's engraved custom folders. That stuff is and always will be out of my reach, but you have to dream!

I REALLY want a Gripitilian in black g10 with a vg10 plain edge blade. I'd be happy with just the g10 though.
