Hmm, the next 5 knives that I am getting...
2 knives made by Jerry Hossom based on my own design.
A Millenium black 8 inch blade
A BM Nimravus Cub M2 blade, plain edge
A BM 710 Axis...Dammit, I thought I could resist the temptation...

Based on estimated delivery dates, the following are my next 5 - no order, because I have no idea when they'll show! The first four are already "past due", the firth is scheduled for delivery at the Badger Show.

1) Mike Lamprey folder
2) TKC-L fixed blade (Broadwell/Bradshaw)
3) TKC-L folder (Chew D/A - Stainless damascus & pearl)
4) Darrel Ralph art auto
5) John Etzler art auto

Of course, who knows which Spyders from my "Knife of the Month Club" will show up between now and then. I'm expecting a Lum & a JD Smith any time now...

1.Large Sebenza
2.Busse Steel Heart or Battle Mistress
3.Benchmade 42 Balisong
4.Emerson Commader
5.Tanto Synergy
and maybe a Mad Dog Pygmy A.T.A.K.
 
realistically, it'll probably be something like this:

Fallkniven F1
Fallkniven WM1
Spyderco spyderench
BM 730
spyderco LW calypso jr

there are plenty of others that i'd love to get, but these are pretty likely to happen.
 
REALISTICALLY??????????

Whoa. You guys would realistically be willing to spend well over a thousand dollars on five knives? I am wondering who here are collectors and who here are users.

Top Five:

CS LTC Kukri
CS Recon Tanto
CS Bush Master
CS Mini Tac (to try out this neck knife deal)
CS LC plain Voyager (old style)

Cold Steel is it as far as feasible utility knives.

WISH list is as follows:

REAL katana
SIFU
CQC7
Wilkinson-Sword custom fighter
SWAT knife w/ "REDNECK" logo

Guess which one I don't really want.
 
Well Kellster... Darrel Ralph
Ralph Dewey Harris
Rainy Vallotton
Rainy Vallotton
Rainy Vallotton

BC...Semper Fi
 
Always changing, but that is my last wish list:
1. Starmate
biggrin.gif

2. Nimravus M2
3. Benchmade newest Balisong 42
4. Newt Livesay RTAK
5. Talonite Cetan from Simonich, or Cuda Talon

I am also very excited about planned but not promised droppoint Spydi Moran

Or another neck knfe. Hatin perhaps?

  • 1. A2 Tanto of own design, from Steve45
    2. Running Dog Lil' Elk Camper in BG42
    3. Camillus Cuda Talon or Griffith Tracker (jury's still out on that one)
    4. Simonich Talisman (in Talonite)
    5. Simonich Cetan

Of those, I've already got 4 on order. Luckily, their arrivals are spread out over the course of about 14 months, so I may not go bankfuct.

Oh, and I almost forgot, the dropped pt. Spydie Moran, too. As you can see, they are all fixed blades, which my sources say indicate I am well into stage two of the disease.

Realistically:

4 different sharpened sticks of different sizes, and possibly a jagged piece of glass with a duct tape handle.

A 4.5" drop point custom hunter kit from Rob Simonich for me to finish
Decorated Sebenza

Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me?

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

Years ago I was able to eliminate my seperation of realistic and dream knives.
I decided to stop buying junk and buy only the best. Then of course the problem of having enough money came to play.
Determination has enabled me to aquire some fine pieces. Simply saving a few dollars a month and getting to know the knifemaker and working out payment terms has helped me
numerous times. A lot of knifemakers will
be more than willing to work with a person that they know desires to own their work and is willing to make a serious commitment to get it. Companies like Lile and others advertise lay away plans for people that want their knives. Doesn't work all the time though. I very much want a knife by Charles Roulin but we don't even speak the same language. I'm probably just going to have to save for that puppy.
