Thought this would be cool, and maybe give some members good ideas for future purchases. I'm having this predicament right now.

Let's say you found $800 and you could only spend it on a blade. What would you get? One knife only!
 
I'd get a custom knife, mid-tech /semi custom knives are cool if you're into them or re-selling them, but I'd rather get something unique to me, made to fit my hand.
 
Gen4 XM18 slicer grind, new scale of my choice and some nice anno'd standoffs and clip
 
My answer is that I have saved $1000 and will be taking it to OKCA in April. Nothing's more fun than deciding between 8 knives that you love with money in your pocket.
 
Wish I had a budget like that lol... I would buy a Strider SMF DGG with that sick digi-coating on the blade.
 
If I had $800 I would buy all the camping gear I wouldneed for years!

Custom Madd Maxx 5.5

And

This sort of reminded me I wanted to do that.

Do it! I have a custom MM 5.5 from Darrel, and it's an awesome knife. If you're planning to EDC it, you might also look into the custom Gunhammer and MM 4, not because the MM 5.5 doesn't carry great in the pocket, but rather because, depending on where you live/work/etc., the sheer size of the 5.5 might attract a bit of unwanted attention from non-knife folks.

Reported to mods for banning. :p
 
Down payment on a Bose Lanny's Clip. I would have to sell blood and a kidney to make up the rest.
 
I'd buy something that I could trade for a good pistol or carbine :D

Since that wasn't helpful....
If I HAD to buy an $800 knife I'd probably have Darrel Ralph make me a sweet sweet Madd Maxx custom with a spear point.
Something like this

Randy Doucette Jekel or a Winkler Sayoc RnD Hawk. Man I could go on and on :)
 
something you like in your personal EDC size
no knives to keep at home or in the safe but ONE knife you will edc and use for the rest of your life..?

go to a show and decide there with the knife in hand, better than in front of a minitor with (bad?) pics
