If you win the lotto tonight, which knife you will buy first?!

I guess I would just buy a large pj insingo inkosi.
No way I would pay full retail for one without winning the lottery, and any CRK is way overpriced even on the secondary market on this side of the pond.
Other than that? Maybe some annual Damascus victorinox, but I would probably just build a house and save the rest.
 
I would finally buy myself a Tops Tom Brown Tracker.

I acknowledge that this is a knife that I have no practical use for, and is not prohibitively expensive.

It does strike that perfect balance of price and uselessness to put it in to the category of something I would only buy if I had stupid amounts of disposable income, even though my inner 13 year old still thinks this is probably the most badass blade ever created.

Funny as I keep looking at those damned knives too! :D Stupid and useless? Maybe. Totally badass looking? Absolutely!

Strange how the serious bushcrafter guys love these knives though.

I bought my first Medford Praetorian this week, so maybe I’m nutty anyways. :eek:
 
I would probably get:
- Sebenza with Micarta inlays
- Microtech Troodon
- ZT 0456
- Medford Praetorian (just for fun)
- Every Exclusive/Sprint Run Spyderco I can get my hands on

Ron Lake Folder if I could find one...

I remember reading an article about Ron Lake nearly 40 years ago in a knife magazine. Precision. Always wished I'd stopped by Bill Moran's shop in Maryland back then. There were several other notable talents back then.
 
Just had a thought of something I would have wanted to do and that winning the lottery would allow is buy the Colonel Coon name and bring manufacturing back to TN. I think SMKW has the name and I know at one point Queen made the knives no clue who makes them now but regardless it would seem they weren't being made in TN.

That is one fascinating and beautiful knife !

What would I get given unlimited funds ?
You know me; broken record. one track mind.
A custom with :
Cold Steel Ti Lite IV or replica.
Titanium liners like the second knife has.
Add Axis lock.
M4 blade heat treated to be on the ragged edge of ludicrously hard with just enough toughness left so it doesn't chip from a stern look.
Full flat ground 1.9mm (that thickness has worked great for me for years in the four inch Ti Lite).
0.006 to 0.010 inch behind the edge. Hey I'm flexible; doesn't have to be exact ;) :)
Kray-Ex (textured rubberized) handle. No big round or oval holes.
Basically these two knives shown below combined; add M4 and axis lock.

Strange I have never photographed them together just these two before.
The second knife is my Brad Zinker Urban Trapper with custom Krey-Ex handle scales.

If it was an actual knife, I would want a legit Katana, made by a master swordsmith from the fuedal time in Japan

Exactly what I was thinking—a sword worth at least $10,000 or else why even think about buying a blade with that kind of $$?!
 
hmm let see, Northmen Broad Axe, Northmen Stalwart Forest Axe, RMJ Death Dealer, Zombie Tools Kraken...I love them big axes
