One Knife for $500 and under.

[John T Wylie Jr]

One knife....that's a tuff one.

SnG CC or Erickson 2 blade trapper.

 

[Tiny86]

I would get a Busse FFBM

I would get a Busse FFBM

+1:thumbup: The first one I thought of

 

[Dagon]

A nice Laguiole.
Or possibly a Mnandi with damascus blade.

 

[pkdmslf]

Rick Hinderer XM-18 or Chris Reeve Sebenza.

 

[The Mastiff]

First choice a Phil Wilson custom Coyote Meadow in S125V if possible, probably S90V if not.


Second choice
Rockstead Cricket in YXR7 steel. Second choice would be the mantis ( rockstead, not the milita generals junk). RC of 65, high speed steel mirror polished about as sharp as any knife you're gonna see.

I asked myself that very question a few years ago, and here's what Sean O'Hare and I designed together.

Thats very nice.

Good ideas guys, keep em comming.

This will be a user.

I have all the FB's I want to this point, so it would be a nice folder. My homeboy just got an XM-18 and he loves it, but I'm not a big fan of the design, though I love the tank-tough frame lock. I like the Lambert Sniper and Fireball, the Lightfoot Nighthawk, and the Patrick Nihiser Redemption, not to mention some by Jim Burke, and Yuna.
