order one of my knives right now, which model would be your choice. Describe it in detail, handle material, pin style, blade thickness, and any options.
 
I would Christmas Wish.....

Hudson Bay

1/4 Thick with heat treatment slag left on

Brass hardware 1/8 pins with no lanyard hole

Curly Maple Wood Handles

That would be dream camp knife.

I`m actually going to be making a Hudson Bay in February for an order. It`s still available on my website.
 
I'd be torn between a Canadian belt knife and a large Nessmuk It's a really tough decision between those two. 1/16, 2 solid brass pins and Ebony.
Edit. After a day of deep thought I've decided. It would be the Nessmuk. I've wanted one since I first saw one of yours.

Easy!

Kentucky Woodsman
3/16" blade
Black G10
Jimping
Red Liners
Lanyard hole
Hollow pins
 
If I could I would...order a belt hawk in black canvas Micarta with 1/4" Aluminum pins, 1/4 stock.

If it were to be a knife then the Michigan Trail Knife also in black canvas Micarta with 1/4 aluminum pins, 1/8 (o maybe 3/32) thick, with a belt sheath and thumb serrations.

Well...the first anniversary knife. Or that hunter I've spoken about. Or a ttsk. As far as details...brass with Ironwood and red liners.
 
I was thinking a Roach Belly in 3/32" with a Trapline style handle would make a nice combo.

I would take a Hawk with tan micarta. I've been loving them ever since I saw the first one. Any other options I would let be a surprise.
 
Out of the models that I haven't ordered yet, I'd probably go with the following

Riverwoods companion
1/16 inch
Maple burl handles
Solid stainless pins
full convex grind
leather sheath
 
Green River
5/32" O1
1/4" Brass pins with tube for lanyard
Ironwood
Simple, elegant and functional. :cool:
 
There's several that I've been drooling over. I'd probably go something like this:

Number one:
Riverwoods Companion, 1/8”, Burlap micarta with orange liners. Brass hardware with two pins and one throng.

Number two:
Canadian Belt Knife, 3/16”, full convex, ebony scales with solid brass pins.

Mmmmmhhhmmmm.
 
right now it would probably have to be either the regular kephart or large kephart with orange g10 to match my spike hawk on order (don't know why I always confuse the 2. ) or a phoenix max but with a blade shape like mykel M's.

edited to add this link of mykel m's blade (though you probably new exactly what I was talking about)

If I could, I would probably have to go with a Phoenix Max with an 1/8" thick blade and full convex grind, wenge scales, small stainless pins set at the corners of the handle and two normal-size stainless pins down the center.
 
there are a bunch I'd like to have, but if I could, I'd go with a "stretched" semi-wharncliffe: 4.5" handle, 5" blade, 1/16" thick w/orange liners and green micarta handles, brass pins.
alternately, a camp knife blade with phoenix max handle in 3/16" stock, lanyard tube, bloodwood w/steel pins or lightly scorched oak w/brass pins

if it's gotta be a production model, the hudson bay with ironwood scales and 6 skinny brass pins.
 
I would love to order one of all your knives. The wide style choices are impressive, not just one style with different handles. Bet my wife would have someone to say about that. :-)

But if I was going to order one knife now it would be the knatchet. It would be 1/4", in 01,With a forged finish and Tigre maple handle to match my HD Kephart, and Nessmuk 1/4 " brass pins and a large lanyard hole. I think that would make a perfect combo with the Kephart and Nessmuk. I can't see anyone needing much more than that.

I like the knatchet style better that the tracker style knives it can be used as a knife for regular chores as well as a hatchet when an axe is not available. It is more portable that an axe and more likely to be carried when needed. One can dream, can't he.

I thought I was knife crazy, This is what I took off a suspect today, it's a first for me.
