Only One Knife To Buy

[bld522]

If you or I can buy only one knife, which one would it be? Please limit suggestions to one!

That rules out everything I already own. If that's the case, I'd probably buy a top-of-the-line William Henry B12 . . . something like this, perhaps:

I can't believe I'm the first to suggest it: Rosta-Frei SMATCHET!

Fixed !

1234,,,

Para 2
Probably in m390 if I can only spend for 1

Though my new Native 5 is pretty great too
time will tell

 

[ridnovir]

In you case I would go with a good utility fixed blade such as Fllkniven F1

 

[Zookie]

My Gerry McGinnis Limiter or Skinner grind XM18

 

[Mikewave]

Bark River Bravo 1

 

[RevDevil]

For self defense and general hard to medium use, Case Peanut in CV.

+1, but I'll have a custom Rosta-Frei blade made for mine.

They are not my favorite typeo'knives these days but, if I could only have one, I would have to say a SAK or other multi-blade slipjoint.

Custom, probably a ~ 5" san mai fixed blade with nice burl handle scales.

:thumbup:

Cool Idea but scales can add weight and bulk.

Hinderer xm24 spanto flipper orange....oh wait

 

[BellatorCordis]

Busse Steel Heart Ergo

I'd never even consider answering with a knife I already own, my wife might find it :lol:
