List some amazing knives, with an exception...
List some amazing knives which you believe you will never own, for whatever reason. This isn't to bash any knives; it's to list knives that you admire greatly, but probably will not own for some reason. Of course, if I had unlimited money, this list would not exist :)

Spyderco Delica - love this knife (bought it for my Dad), but I just have others that cover this need
Spyderco Centofante 3 - amazing for the price, but I have this area covered
ZT 0301 (and the like) - recurves are a little harder to sharpen
CRK large Sebenza - it is over the legal 3.5" here. I couldn't carry something so valuable that could get taken away.
Benchmade 275 Adamas - too big to carry as a folder - I'd carry a fixed blade in its place - but I think it's great.
William Henry - I would love one, but, price.

Do you have some that you really want, but you can't pull the trigger?
 
All the knives in the world that have a >200$ pricetag - They're awesome, but cost more than I'd ever want to spend on a single knife.
All the knives I already own - I like them and they do everything I need them to, but I have a sickness that causes me to keep buying new ones anyway.
All the knives I've already sold - I thought they were awesome on paper, but once I got them I found problems with them.
All the knives I'm going to buy in the future - They're extremely neat, but I don't need them and my bank account isn't going to be happy with me.
 
ZT 0561 I like these sooo much, and wan't one pretty badly. However I have small hands and small pockets and it is just way too beefy of a knife for me to carry.
 
I was looking at some William Henry knives yesterday, and the cheapest one came in at $250. That is not too bad, and there were several available with different inlays. The ZT777 will be one I will covet from a distance. The street price is $480 I think, and they will trade hands at $500+ for sure. Two that I am doubtful about, but have some hope would be the S90V CF Para 2, and the CF Stretch.
 
Anything by Grayman or Busse.

Anything made by Ray Laconico or Peter Rassenti.

I'll think of more later.
 
Laconico, I want one of his Blast liner lock flippers so badly. Also, one of Daniel Fairly's upcoming folders. Alas, unless I suddenly come into a large amount of money, it's probably not going to happen.
 
I'd like to own something by Buster Warenski. Or something engraved by Julie Warenski. The King Tut dagger, for instance. But, for reasons that will probably be obvious once you see a picture, if you haven't already, I will never own one.
 
Sebenza- Good knife, but too plain for me
Spyderco PM2- Don't like the Spyder hole
MT Nemesis- Can't justify that price for a toy
Busse- They're overpriced and have ridiculous names
ZT (any of the current models)- Just don't like their designs or feel
 
It's hard to say knives I'd never own. It would depend on the size of my collection, future disposable income, and desire at any given point. That being said, left handed friendliness of the pocket clip is a big deal especially on more expensive knives. I can handle locks on either side, but inconvenient clips are a deal breaker.

Southard
Hinderer (maybe my favorite knife ever, but it would have to have some customization done to it. Of course if I could afford $900 on a hinder what's an extra $100 to customize it)
 
ZT 560/1; LS SR-1/A -both great knives I wouldn't mind having, but quite frankly I don't need something that beefy. People under estimate how much strength steel has and my slipjoints do just fine.
 
A 2007 burnt orange kershaw blur - because I can't find one
Shirogorov mod 95 - because it's just too big of a blade 3.75 is the largest I carry really and pref 3.5
Rj Martin overkill - basically same reason ^ don't like knives over 9" total length
Ray laconico customized jasmine flipper - because I wanted a modified 1 that will never happen and can't justify the price it would more than likely cost
Jermey Robertson el patron in s110v - expensive and don't really have a place for it right now

I agree with you, but I really like the ones that are $600 and up :)
 
Amazing knives I own?

Spydie Para2 - Been my EDC since I opened the box
Brous SS Flipper - Simply bad a$$ - Especially considering it's the first folder Brous ever made.

Out of reach? Fellhoelter and Anso. Just can't justify the $, but I really want them
 
To make a general statement anything over 100 is out of reach right now.
I have a few 100 dollar folders still tho

Hinderer knives
CRK
Strider
Anso
And many many customs

All great but the price tags don't sit well with my wallet.
 
Hinderers and Striders with unique grinds, I appreciate the rarity off them but to double the price or more in some cases because it was hand ground? Not for me.
