If you became the knife emperor of the universe…

Easy. Smatchet.

There would be a giant alter for the Buck 110. Scarafices would be held daily. There would be a smelter where devotees can toss in lesser knives.

And then there’s the cult of the Spyderco Slysz Bowie. The only members are the five people who actually own one.

I had to giggle a bit when I first saw this thread. Every time I pull my BK-2 out, at one of the Ranch houses or some random river cabin, I always tell my Buddies, "The Government really needs to issue one of these to every household."...

Taxes well spent. Just got a BK16 and I love it. The BK2 looks lovely to own too, but I’m not sure I’d use it that often.

The government needs to issue itself an ass kicking.

Sorry mods, I'm leaving now

I would just keep creating newer steels that really don't do anything better and handle materials to call micarta because we need more of that to trick consumers.

First: I woild declare EVERY day to be "New Knife Day", and everyone would get to choose another one for their collections...
But first: everybody always needs a Smatchet!

Is… um… is that a David Mary knife?

 

[Bob Denman]

You betcha!

 

[DangerZone98]

You betcha!

Awesome haha. Love the blue scales.

Knife Emperor? Universe?

OK . . .Well . . .I don't think I'd be worried about any knife right away. As the all-powerful Poobah I would initiate a Manhattan Project size effort to develop one or a variety of superior knife steels. As the Grand Dragon of everything, I might also insist that each alloy be named Andy, Bob, Chuck Danny and so on, instead of using unpronounceable jumbles of numbers and letters (or I might not).

With that ProJet complete: Then I'd figure out which knife I wanted.

"Awesome haha. Love the blue scales."

That's Suretouch. I think it's a layered mixture of G10 and rubber.
It lets you get a good grip on the Beast.

Those new steels would have to be tougher than Chinese Algebra, hold an edge better than an ex-Wife holds onto your 401K, and come in minty fresh flavors!

Since Opinel and smatchet have already been mentioned, I'll go with a Loveless, any model you'd want.

[VorpelSword]

But if this thread is really about "what is my dream knife?", then it would be a list that includes Moran, Loveless, Warenski and Lyle among the now dead old masters. In terms of "modern" production, I would want every model of (or any one of) the Chris Reeve one piece line. Several CRK folders for different occasions. A Darrel Ralph Madd Maxx or two with variations in blade materials and handle inlays . . .. . . .

Not sure of who is who or what is what in terms of currently active custom knife makers.

As knife "Poo-Bah" though I might commission a refined and/or larger Leatherman Wave style of multi tool with a fancy alloy blade or damascus. A really good horizontal sheath (in exotic leathers) with reliable retention is another personal need.
