You'd probably get even more responses if you didn't choose to start off with a dismissive remark right off the bat.

There are plenty of well heeled, polite members here on this site, as well as very knowledgeable members who may not be quite as fortunate as some but have a great deal of useful information to share.

Absolutely! I've had nothing but pure love from all the members and staff. Everyone has been very polite, respectful, and gave out knowledge freely.

The broke boyz comment isn't for those people, because those people have been nothing but helpful, with zero undue criticism. I apologize if some of you that have been good to me took that comment as an attack towards you, it was not and im sorry. But, there are some peopley on this forum, that if you post that you're looking to buy a $2,000-$3,000 knife, hell, even a $1,000 they come out of the woodwork to say how retarded and stupid you are to spend that much money on a knife.

Im sure people that have seen my threads see that im not hostile towards others and have been polite and respectful in return.

But these unhelpful shaming comments of, you're an idiot if you spend "$xxx" on a knife gotta stop and im gonna call them out, every time.

I would edit that piece about "broke boyz" out so you don't sound like a dick and so that we can help you find knives in the right price range. You are in a pretty safe space for expensive knives and most of us won't be shocked by any number.

Also, is this intended to be a display piece only or will it be carried and used occasionally?

Display piece for sure

You know that you can block those people so you never see any of their comments, right? No need to insult, just eliminate them from your feed.
 
How about having a knife you choose engraved? I love looking in on Chip's, WValtakis WValtakis , amazing custom work.

If that's the case this person probably already has preferences for brands/styles/makers. What are they?

I know if someone got a knife for me that they thought was nice but I couldn't stand I'd politely thank them and then pack it away never to see the light of day.

So the person in question isn't a knife collector to our standards so he doesn't have many knives in this category. Im sure any piece at this level will blow him away1

I realize this may be be missing the mark in some ways based on your description but when I think about spending 4 figures on a knife worthy of display, I picture one of the CRK Moon Landing or Unique Graphic Sebenzas. Possibly Damascus blade.

YES!!! I've searched the WHOLE internet and back again so deep i ended up in the dark web. That's exactly the 2 that stood out. The night sky/morning sky and Lunar Lander. If anyone knows of a brand new one for sale, pretty please show me the way!
