If money wasn’t wasn’t a problem

Well fellas, if you're going to get yourself a sub-hilt, I suggest you go straight to David Broadwell's work:

(apologies for the water mark. They're a quality place, so I hope it's not leaning on the rules too hard.)
 
Hmm
I would bribe mike Gavic at Gavko custom knives to make me his spartan and Excalibur kukris in 3V or Ztuff. Then buy an island and use them for everything. And convince him to make more fixed blades.

A hatcher knives kukri or any medium blade he makes in 4V fit for my hand. His fit and finish is insane.

Pretty much anything from peter rassenti.

And lastly i would buy every peice of equipment i could have ever wanted for my shop and a new shop custom built for knife making.
 
Blue shirogorov f95t
Normal shirogorov f95t
shirof95nl and f3
sebenza 31 box elder burl
sebenza 31 insingo and drop point plain jane
spydero paramilitary 2 variants in m & k 390
custom puukko's and fixed blades in 4v/elmax/cruwear
custom slipjoints in exotic material and different bladeshapes

Oh and duplicates of each:D
 
If money was no object, I’d buy any and every knife I ever wanted, but it would be far down my priority list.

My first purchase would be a very large house on a very large property with lots of room for shooting lanes and a very, very large garage.
 
I'd get four or possibly six. Not sure if the cleaver would be considered a "knife" by most.
Old Hickory 7 inch or 8 inch "Butcher knife"
Old Hickory 6 inch "Buffalo Skinner"
Old Hickory "Sticker"
Old Hickory 3.5 inch "Paring Knife"
Old Hickory 7 or 8 inch Cleaver.
All with their excellent 1095 carbon steel.

See edit why them is greyed out.
Mora Classic Number 1 with the laminated blade.

EDIT:
Thinking about it, getting my "dream set" of kitchen Cutlery would be somewhat stupid.
Living at an assisted living facility, I'm not allowed to cook my own meals anymore. Come to that, I cannot stand long enough to cook a meal anymore anyway.

I guess I'd still get the laminated blade Mora Classic Number One, even though I'll probably likely certainly never make it out to the boonies/sticks again during this "life" to use it. (I can't walk but 1/4 mile or less without my knees and hips screaming at me.)
I suppose I'd get one of them $15,000 (plus options) gasoline powered tracked "Mobility Scooters", too.
Even though there is no way Walmart, Sportsman's Warehouse, Bass Pro, or some other retailer would let me use it in the store. (Provided it would even fit through the doors)
I'd probably get a Boker Tree Brand (Solgien) or Puma or Case large (4.25 inch or larger closed) stockman and a Boker Tree Brand (Solgien) 2 blade folding hunter with Stag covers, as well. And maybe a vintage antique Russell (2 blade) Barlow in "Mint" condition, if such even exists now.

I'd probably get a nice plot or crypt with a view, and a nifty cedar and wool lined bronze with copper trimmed and decorated box that is big enough for me, and the guns, archery gear, etc. that I want to take with me, as well. :)

...I'd move to the US and buy a lot of guns, but also a Bagwell Bowie.

If money was unlimited, there would be at least half a dozen Bob Loveless knives in my collection,

At least a dozen new custom made blades, (Phil Wilson, Farid, etc) and probably 30-40 production knives. Dozier, Bark River, Spyderdo, ZT.

Then a dedicated workbench with a 2X72 Burr King belt grinder with a full complement of linen belts and diamond/CBN sprays down to .001 micron.

Then, the most important step, I'd hire a professional to teach me how to get the most out of my equipment!:)
 
Ok without getting too unrealistic here....

I'm fortunate enough to own most of the knives on my list.
