If money was no object

I'd either;
buy out benchmade and open up a low budget line, same fit and finish but lower end materials. still keep focus on the high end stuff though. but my first order of business with them would be to issue a formal apology to spyderco for stealing their hole.
-or-
buy out boker, centralize the company (no more boker plus, boker magnum, etc. just boker) iron out the quality control issues, and start offering a strong warranty and customer service. I would stick strictly with 440c and their perfect heat treat unless we could develop a steel (or have one developed) just for boker.
 
I'd open a gun store/shooting range with a vast knife section. And sell the knives closer to internet prices.
 
maybe give a cool trillion to nasa to help strengthen the space program i want to see a moon colony in my lifetime

I would hire blackwater mercenaries to find out who stole Ken onion's custom knives and then push him slowly into a wood chipper feet first

That is a good plan. I was going offer BF members on board the plane a draw as to who gets to make him walk the plank during the flight out of the rear door of the cabin.

Work to get nationwide laws passed are a lot more focused on individual rights regarding knives & guns. Laws that the states can't mess with or override.

Set up a grant fund for college for Sparks young'un.

Buy Platinum memberships for everyone here, for five years.

I second the Ken-Onion-stolen-knives idea.

Buy back the Schrade and Camillus names, and work out whatever I needed to to make sure what happened to them before doesn't happen again.

I'd bring back any Schrade employee who wanted their old job back at double salary, and I'd move them back from wherever they'd moved on to.

Same with Camillus, and I'd make Phil Gibbs the President. I'd also buy him a plane so he could commute back and forth from New York to Arkansas (A.G. Russell).

Money is no object? I'd buy Goldman Sachs and run multiple nations. Knife company?? Come on man you said think big.
 
Ya'll, if money were no object, I'd buy the Great State of Texas, put a fence around it, make some pointed changes to the law such as making open carry legal again, removing blade length restrictions on knives, and so forth. Then I'd invite all the knife and gun loving folks to my beloved state and give Beckers and Kimbers to folks as movin in gifts.
 
i would have a functional he-man and thundercats and conan the barbarian swords made not to mention about 10 or 12 custom knives made to my exact specifications
 
Light Saber... :eek:

On the real side of things, I would commission some of my favorite custom makers to create a few new patterns and surprise me every so often with a package in the mail. :D




And,



A minigun...
 
I'm dead serious about the movie and cartoon swords me and my bro are children of the 80s

the heman sword would probably be 20 pounds but I would find a way to use it . I would also have a schofield revolver customized to resemble Clint eastwoods pistol from the dollars trilogy along with another using my own designs. no engraving though I hate engraving all over guns I would get a rosebox shotgun for home defense but my big fun around gun would be buying a beretta and dropping dime to have it modded to the auto 9 from robocop

I have murry carter and a few other bladesmiths out to my private island every so often to teach me how to make damascus kitchen knives. We could cryo- treat these in iceland or the artic if desired.

I'd hand out vaccines and mosquito nets to all who want them and then since that seems like too much reality I'd return to the squandering my days. In between bouts of drunkeness, and fresh sushi I'd plan to enact world peace and equality, then when it fails wax lyrical about why the plebeians can't be more like me.

But I'm serious about the ideal damascus kitchen set...
 
I would move from California to Texas, buy a nice house with a few hundred acres. Then open my own Sporting good store with an incredible selection of knives and guns, and live the life!
 
Yep.....Would start a new American company inspired by Schrade and Gerber of the old days. Of course, If it was my money I would employ Charlie Mike as chief designer, and would have to introduce the "FTW" line of knives.
