2. Large Inkosi Insingo w/box elder burl inlays
3. Rockstead Ryo-H
4. Begg Glimpse 7.0 w/Star Strike CF

Do I have a magic wand?

-Olamic Swish, bronze kinetic rain, speed holes and/or faux bolster milling
-Knife Art CF Large Inkosi Insingo.
-Holt Specter
-Kornalski hunter or bushcraft
-Spyderco Kapara (really hot for this one right now—the one I’m most likely to get).

Not even so much, "5 now, no more forever", but rather just, "5 knives right now."

1 leaves too much open ended BS, and even top 3 often holds a ton of bias, but #4 and #5 gets interesting and a bit more free spirited.

I have quite a good collection going, but I am very interested in adding the following.

Nothing crazy, but would love to get my first Hinderer and CRK this year as well as a bigger ESEE knife for the bush...

ESEE Junglas II
Chris Reeve Large Sebenza or Inkosi
Benchmade Crooked River
Hinderer XM-18 or XM-24
Lion Steel Dom in M390
 
With an excess of hobby funds I would get

A KA-BAR short

Buck alumni

Buck 110Lt

A Leatherman squirt PS4

Gerber gator

Nothing fancy but I'd get these
 
Given the terms, as well as the days to go till payday, I am going to assume price is no object. Hey if I'm gonna dream...

#1. Bob Loveless either a drop point hunter or boot knife.
#2. Scott Sawby - either his Bittern, Swift, or Tern
#3. Shirogorov - Either Hation Lite or Neon Lite
#4. Ron Lake folder
#5. Arno Bernard Wild Dog in Mammoth tooth

Honorable mentions, a top end Laguiole, La Theirs, and Pattada.

I have 2 AB's in my collection - with his new Bateleur calling to me incessantly to add to my collection. At this rate, I'll never be able to save enough for the dog in mammoth tooth. :(
But one of the 2 I currently have is below - The older version of his Wasp in croc. I like it much more than the new version. And the croc feels good in the hand. Which is not the same thing as the feeling of your hand in a croc....

#1.Peter rassenti mini Satori
#2.Snecx Buster
#3.Brad Southard Mini Tolk
#4.Andre Thorburn L45
#5.Stan Wilson Non Flipper Flipper
I would consider myself one lucky Knife knut if I managed to obtain this 5 knives one day.
 
Yeah it's quite an amazing knife. Jim Skelton has a 2 part video of him and Stan in his knife shop talking all about the non flipper and all it takes to build it. If you haven't seen it yet it's quite interesting.
