If You could have ANY Knife in the world, what would it be?

I probably should of clarified that the King Tut knife article appeared in the Jan/Feb 1988 Issue of Blade Magazine. 11 1/2 years ago.
 
I have 4 top choices:
1. Wakizashi by Michael Bell
2. 7" or better Tanto by Phil Hartsfeld
3. Combat Grade Battle Mistress
4. Chris Reeve Project I
Now if I could choose only one.......I would go with the Wakizashi.

Peace.

Of each...

I mean, if I went around saying I was an Emperor because some
moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, people would put me away!

If i could have any knife i would have a busse battle mistress with satin finish blade and kydex sheath!!!
 
Gee, Hansen, no knife imaginable could match your Dad's.
You made my day.
I don't remember my dad ever having a knife.
He had a genuine Wilkinson Mameluke sword which got stolen some years ago but, surprisingly, it had little sentimental impact on me.
I have a multi-blade folder of my Grandfather's.
It has one broken blade and the rest have a lot of mysterious stains and globs on them.
Maybe I ought to take another look at it.
I think Bob Simonich wrote something about the value of all the stains and knicks on a knife.
Anyway, I have designed, ordered and paid (credit card) for my dream knife, and when I get it I will tell you all about it.

I think all the JSP (Blade Rigger) blades are fascinatingly attactive but the dual tandem kwaiken has been in my head for yrs and yrs, ever since I got their catalogue. Some day.

Jeffery Harkins all damascus leaf spring auto folder. Or at least one that costs more, so I could sell it and buy the Harkins!
 
The ST blade Bill Moran forged out of a metallic meteorite years ago. I believe he dubbed it "The knife of two worlds".
To even hold this knife forged by one of America's legendary bladesmiths,pounded into shape by Bill's heart and soul, beads of sweat sizzling off cherry red metal that once hurtled through space................
Oh well, sorry for rambling. It would be an honor though.

Stay safe and all the best, Phil <----<
 
If I could choose it would be so hard between a Richtig Fighter or a Scagel. I have admired both for many moons!

When I figure out the manifesting thing I tell you which one I get!!!!!!!!

I saw a couple of Yoshindo Yoshihara's katanas last week. God his hamons are AWESOME!

Now if I only had $25,000 handy. . .
 
I would like a spyderco Civilian right now. I know its not a big deal to some, but thats the knife that I want at the moment.

Later,

1. The first knife ever made
2. The missing O.J. stelleto knife
3. Excalliber sword

Of coarse I would also need documentation for the authenticity of each.

Any knife?

Something that is weighs next to nothing, will cut and chop through anything, thin enough for fine work.

A light sabre comes to mind.

A H.I. WWII model will be my next choice.

Some very nice sentiments expressed here. I hope one day my loved ones cherish the possessions that I leave behind with the same reverence.

My own desires run to the more mundane. I would like to have an original Sebenza, built by Chris Reeve himself.

Rob Simonich's Talonite Cetan Tanto or Wambli tanto. I know - nothing extraodinary or impossible... But this is knife I am dreaming of right now.
P.
 
The MASEMUNE sword blade on display in the Japanese exhibition in the V&A museum in London. It has no fittings or scabbard, just the blade.

I've made the pilgrimage from South Africa three times to sit and gaze at that blade, and I'd go again tomorrow if the bank balance allowed . . !!

Forged in approx. 1270 that blade is a work of art and an exercise in perfection. It is hard to believe that one man could produce such workmanship so long ago (without straight rules, micrometers, lasers, etc). I do not think one could make a more perfect blade today given all the machinery in the world.

Well right now it would be a sebenza, or maybe that King Tut knife by Buster Warenski sell it and get all the knives on my wish list.
