I give you $2,000 but you have to spend that on only 1 knife.
You can buy a knife that's less than $2,000 but you don't get to keep the remaining money.

Honestly probably getting on AZCK, Recon1, or another dealer of used high-end knives, filtering from $1500-$2000, sorting from highest price to lowest, and picking something I like. I don't normally shop in that realm because I've only ever spent that much once and am not likely to do it on a regular basis in the foreseeable future.

The first thing that came to mind was a Shirogorov Kami, no idea what those are bringing these days. If I came across a micarta Cheka 3.3 Shamwari while under those constraints I'd probably try to pick that up but I'm not sure I'd hold out for it. Same goes for a Richard Rogers Q. Maybe a Rassenti Nirvana or Paysan. Maybe the right fancy vintage Sebenza. Can you find a skeletonized Oz Roosevelt for $2k or less? If so I'd be tempted by that.

Just for fun I did my AZCK search, the first thing that caught my eye was a Peter Carey Cure. Did the same on Recon1 and I would probably skip the Carey and be contemplating between a Walter Randolph Typhos or a David Mosier GSD. They also have a pretty nice Kevin Foster Angler.

WOW!!! You lucky sonofagun! I'm still in the "$5,000" for a knife is insane category. A couple years ago I was in a $500 for a knife is insane category lol, I guess as your collection grows so does your taste. I desperately want a Borka Stitch Patriot with Rockstar blade but that thing is over $6,000

 

[scorpnsnake]

I'm putting $1,500 with it and getting that timascus scaled Mayo that was in the exchange. That one has been keeping me up at night.

If it was a hard stop at $2k, I'd try and find a RJM Q-36 with a scratch or two on it.
