If price wasn't an issue

Well, I wanted a Boa BEFORE the BLADE Year 2,000 calendar came out, and now I really want one

I figured if I kicked in an extra $500, Ken would make one for me by Christmas, but seeing as I can in NO way(even though prices are very competitive) even pay the normal cost for one...oh well, if I win the lottery he and many other makers will be working their a**'s off for me

Yeah! Drop the chalupa...


 
A few years back I saw a Scot's dirk in Damascus, I don't remember the maker but I do know that it was in TK. I want tha tknife plus a matching sigan dubh(SP?)
I wlaso want a Battle Mistress, but the DIrk and sigan dubh are highest on the list.
A Crawford Janus looks good too.
 
Well, since it's my birthday today, if I make a wish will it come true....?

If so, give me the Project 1.

May not be as glamorous as all of these great custom knives, but being a serious micro-gadget guy I would go right out and get a micro-halo II. For that matter, if price was absolutely no object, I would commission MT to make me a one-off micro-nemesis!!!

If I were a rich man,
biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy biddy bum,
I'd build a big tall shop with machines by the dozen,
Right in the middle of the town,
...
I'd have a great big belt grinder just for shaping handles,
And one even bigger just for blades,
And one more even bigger just for show ...

Seriously, if I were a billionaire I'd buy all the knifemaking tools and materials in sight and build exactly what I wanted. I suppose I'd probably buy a lot of knives made by other people, too, but you asked for the one ... nothing could be the knife for me unless I make it myself.

I haven't even read this thread yet -- I think it's the first time I've posted in a thread without reading it all first. Did anybody say they'd buy a kit knife? I'll have to go look. That's not for me, though; it can't even be a kit knife; I have to build it all myself. I think I can stand not smelting the steel myself....

The knife I make ... I keep changing my mind. It'll be small, about a 3-4" blade; that stays constant. Of course it won't have a joint in the middle; I hate that kind of knife. It'll be a drop point, single-edged, but the exact blade and handle profiles keep changing. I'm gradually getting my vision solidified, though ... I think I'll have a clear enough vision to translate it into steel soon....

A Speedtech Synergy with a Rob Simonich Talonite Blade. I have been fantasizing about this for a while now.

2nd on my list is a Simonich SRT knife, but right now I still want a Project I more...
 
That's a tough one. I can't name just one, but I can name just one in each category:

1) Fixed blade - Probably a sword from Phil Harstfield.

2) Tactical - Your (Ken Onion) recurved frame locking(?) folder that's pictured in Blade Magazine's 2000 Calendar. :-)

3) Traditional - a Gene Shadley 3.5" stockman with mastadon bark handles.

Ahh, but I can dream, can't I?

Resale? Boy if I ever bought either of these knives I'd want then in the casket with me when I'm buried! (who says you can't take it with you?)
For me it would have to be anything by Hugh Bartrug. He was the nicest knifemaker I've ever met and I loved what he did with damascus.
OR
A "KRAIT DAMASCUS" with mastodon ivory scales by Darrel Ralph. Can't explain why I like it so much (besides it's obvious beauty plus it's pure functionality) but man it gives me a ... well you know.

Jeez You guys!!! How can you be thinking about your favorite knives at a time like this? You all should be ashamed of your selfish, dis-respectful selves.!!!!
