Do you have a list of knives you'd like to own?

I've reached the point in my knife collecting where I have pretty much every knife I've ever wanted. The only remaining few are as follows:
Grayman Satu black G10
Les George Rockeye
 
I am mostly on the hunt for the Benchmade 530-111, which is (I think) the original Gold Class Pardue 530. It's the one with the citrine jewel in the thumbstud. I really, really want that knife. If anyone has a lead, do let me know!

Just one that got away.

Back in the early 1980's right after Rambo came out, a gun store now closed called "Pony Express" here in LA had a custom knife section. They had a couple of the 1 of 100 Jimmy Lyle made Rambo knives for, I think $1,500. I came so close to buying one.....just never did. To this day I am kicking myself.

I currently live in Russellville, Ar the home of Jimmy Lile. Though he has gone, there are still quite a few of his knives around town. I have a couple of friends who have, or had, numerous examples of his work, including the Rambo knives. As a matter of fact, his sign is still hanging where it stood for many years.
 
List just got longer...

Gareth Bull Small Shamwari
Benchmade 940-1
Benchmade 531

That would pacify me for a while.
 
I think im in love with the Busse Hell Razor. All the knife porn in the Busse sub forum is.... addicting. Anyways.

I have a pretty extensive list, it keeps me organized and helps me get knives that I really want instead of something cool that I saw recently that I want on impulse.

For some reason the smaller folders stay on my wish list while the bigger blades, whether it be fixed or folder, tends to drop by the wayside. Prob cause I don't have any safe queens and like to carry what I buy...

Current:
Mnandi (old style nail nick) with a wood inlay that "speaks to me" (so hard to freakin find... been looking for months)

and

Benchmade 707 (don't want to spend over $100 for this one unless it has different scales but might have to bite the bullet)
 
I have a spreadsheet to keep my collection organized, with a tab for each brand and a tab for my want list. I keep updated copies on my PC, tablet, and phone.
