If cost wasn't a consideration, what knife would you get?

[Grateful]

I would buy a 1970 or older Case 6254 trapper with red bone scales. It would not be a safe queen either. I would use the heck out of it.

I would buy a giant knife that was big enough to live in. Renting sucks.

Seriously though ... Rexford Epicenter.

 

[ISKski]

i would create a masterful custom slipjoint collection

 

[twl]

An antique pre-1420 Samurai period Japanese Samurai katana in Juyo grade condition and in full polish, with all correct original mounts and also the shira saya for storage.
Probably at least a hundred thousand dollars or higher for such an item.
That's why it would have to be cost-no-object!

 

[Mr SHIFTY]

pretty much every knife ever made but anything by andre andersson will do:

 

[forcedestrike]

Most of Rockstead's catalog.

 

[marc4fishing]

I know its not the usual knife style for this forum but a Hattori KD 270 gyoto.

Id probably go for a Custom Murray Carter. I have one in mind that he quoted me at $2300! If money was not an issue, I would buy that. (plus the other 3 knives of his I designed in my head... though I hope to one day turn this dream into reality... full cost of custom order, $5,000+... )

Also grab a Large and small mammoth damascus Sebenza set.

And a S90V Scott Cook Loscha... But this is more a matter of availability than money.

I have to stop there, otherwise I would write out my entire "knives to buy" list

I'm not super big on customs except from a short list of ultra makers. Put me down for a Demko (I'm on a backup list for 2012 already anyway!) and a Yuna, otherwise I would go with an earlier post and get any knife that fancies me. I'd probably end up with a lot of very good midtechs/ultra-production knives

 

[kawr]

Mayos. Lots of them.

 

[Acerazor]

He made one for this past Blade Show quoted at about $10-15,000 with lots of diamonds.
A youtuber had a booth interview with them showing the knife. Not sure if I can say the channel on here
If I can let me know. It was very high end in terms of frilly commemorative show piece.

No, but I'd say William Henry would be the Rolex of knives.

Here's mine with sapphire inlaid into the thumbstud and button lock:

Haven't seen one with diamonds yet, not sure why.

 

[marcinek]

Something by Bill Buxton.

 

[Albert Edmonds]

As far as folders - Yuna Assassin, Leu Custom Folder, darn near any folder made by Kendrick or Anso and a few others. Fixed blades?....can't list them all!

 

[BBW]

Carrillo

 

[panthervikefan]

pretty much any yuna

 

[DavidZ]

All of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Drudge]

I would have a killer DDR collection.

 

[gooeytek]

Yuna Zen Type S (gonna be a while)
Gerhard Weiland Assassin (asked him, but he only made one and kept it for himself so I don't think it'd count)
CAS Persa (haven't contacted them yet, but soon)
Something by Brad Southard (just gotta decide)
Brian Fellhoelter Fotoku (need to contact him about it)

 

[GLDNDomer]

I'm not greedy: just a Paramilitary 2 and a Buck Mayo

 

[BikerTrash]

I would give Rick Hinderer an offer he couldn't refuse to make me a pair of the coolest 3.5" XM-18 flippers EVAR! And when I say 'pair', I mean a left and right hand pair.
