The top two for me right now are 1. A GB Wildlife Hatchet and 2. Either a Duluth or Alder Stream Canvass rucksack to hold my bush gear.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
Realistically, what I really wish for is more time to enjoy the outdoors. I would love to be able to split for a month of canoeing and hiking up north, or maybe out west. I'm pretty well set for gear - I just need the opportunity to use it!
But, since we're talking about Stuff I Want, here goes:
An Off the Map Skog Kniven. Gorgeous traditional design, with curves in all the right places. Curly maple handles would be a nice touch.

A Frontier Bowie from North River Custom Knives, with a nice period sheath.

One of Dan Koster's Nessies. I have had my eye on these for a long time. Great interpretation of the design.

A Bushknife from Rick (Wildertools), with a wrapped handle and plenty of forge markings on the blade.

A JK Kephart, with walnut handles and a fire pouch built into a drop sheath.

Oh, and a kick-ass 72" belt grinder with contact wheel and platen, heat treat oven, and a few blocks of birds eye maple, desert ironwood, and bog oak!
All the best,
- Mike
Oh and a Ripsaw....

Once i get make up my mind on the knife I will be getting myself a 14" barrelled Norinco/Remington 870 for a backpacking companion for next summer. http://www.marstar.ca/gf-norinco/images/N870-14.00-800px.jpg

5) AR 15
6) .270
7) 9mm
8) and World Peace
Sorry couldn't help it
Not to burst your bubble but my buddy has one of these his is a match grade gunsmith custom ( I think) but he also has a standard smith .45 acp and the smith outshoots the kimber everytime. If you can find someone with a kimber so you can shoot it before you drop the 1800 bucks I would definately recommend it.
