"No matter what" buys?

[Glenn Goodlett]

I knew it when I saw it.

 

[Dan of Bazz Clazz]

Jelio Puukko if the right speciman arrives before the money is spent
Lion Steel Roundhead & Shuffler, both in White CF.

I got my no matter what knife couple weeks ago.

Carothers field knife.

I imagine you ending up in your 80's like Scrooge McDuck in a giant vault swimming in a sea of PM2's.

1. Don't knock the eighties...
2. My PM2 collection went away five or six yrs ago.
3. Yeah, I've been told that I resemble Scrooge McDuck.

What knife would you buy (possibly on credit) the instant you see it available for sale?

Busse Battle Shark is mine.

1) Model 1728 Spanish cavalry sword in good to mint condition. The more inscriptions the better.

2) Colonial Spanish belduque of the "Joe Place" sword style in any condition, or even a reasonable repro facsimile thereof.

3) Sevillian navaja folding knife with "carraca" ratchet lock dating from mid 18h to mid 19h cent.

4) Folding Hackmann puukko red plastic "butterfly handled" knife.

That's all I can think of now, but I'm sure there are more. Just a collector's wishes.

I'm carrying the Battle Shark today so... Dreams do come true.

Just watched your vid on this knife. I'm impressed. I'd prefer one without the upper guard, but that thing looks like a do it all anywhere anytime knife!

I ended up giving the top "fin" a zero bevel grind.

I am mostly looking for investments, back ups and parts knives, so price is a factor. Knives for gifts are not as price sensitive.

I'm sure you're rocking that top hat like nobody else.

 

[ATJ999]

Spyderco PM2 in LC200N, or Manix 2 in LC200N. Loving my Caribbean...

 

[Riz!]

A red light saber. Ide mortgage my house for a resl one!

 

[jay drews]

the dark timber "honey badger" I truly believe this knife does not really exist

 

[NorthernSouthpaw]

I would have a REALLY hard time resisting a custom lefty from Todd Rexford or Brad Southard.
If it was in one of my preferred material configurations? Out comes the credit card..... AND my wife's wrath!!

 

[SeppukuSamurai]

If we're being honest, a few -

Jake Hoback Kwaiback in Stoneage finish
The right Curtiss F3 Large, it'd have to be special

That's just what I'd jump on immediately, no matter what. Certainly not my grail list. I am fortunate enough to have most of my grails already, however.

 

[LG&M]

I think one of the biggest upcoming absolutely no brainers is the Spyderco Bow River for $32!

Nice looking blade & spyderco is good stuff but I would rather not have 8Cr13Mov.
Still I might have to get one.

 

[Hickory n steel]

My realistic no matter what knife would be vintage American carbon steel Butcher knife in good condition, at a good price of course.

I've got one coming at a very fair price for what it is, and it's got a sheath ( leather is still good, but it was crudely homemade and needs to be reworked )
