I hope I am posting this thread in the right spot. I just wanted to give a big thanks to all BF members. I have been deployed to Iraq for over a year now and started using BF back in OCT. I have received great advice from many members and also received gifts from others. I have became addicted to BUSSE's and also bought many knives that await me in America. Once i ge moved and settled in, I will give a more proper thank you to several members. Just wanted to throw out a THANKS to all before i start my way out of theatre (IRAQ). I will propose one question to the masses (and mods if im doing this in the wrong spot I am sorry)

If you were going to buy yourself a knife as a gift, sort of a return home gift, which knife would you buy, and who cares about cost, your dream knife.

I have picked up several knives this year and have several waiting for me in the states. I personally am thinking a Randall 14.

Thanks again everyone!!!!
 
A Blackwood Henchman w/G10 or Carbon Fiber

A custom Mick Strider (have to be the righ one)

any Rinaldi

A Scott Cook Lochsa

Any Scott Cook knife

A Lg. Sebenza

...to name a few... but a "Henchman".... damn those were nice.
 
If money were no object (like it is now right?!), it would be a custom for me too, just look in the Makers forum and you'll see!
rock n roll bro and come back to us safe and grow old with us!
 
I have customs from Shinichi Watanabe, Gene Ingram, and Sean O'Hare. All of them are excellent choices.

I also have Joel Bolden and BurchTree on my radar.
 
Or you could get one of the finest knives made by anyone.

I'd second the Randall, any model is pretty much a classic. But i'd probably go with a Dozier fixed blade. love his knives and his sheaths. keep you head down.

I would have to agree with Bastid.. They aren't cheap but after serving in Iraq you have more than earned it :D ... They are something you can carry everyday. And 20 years from now, It will still be a thing of beauty to look at..
 
My choice would be a knife that I would use. This said, I would not "use" a knife that cost over a grand. So ......I love Kirby Lambert's works.....and really love his Whar as a everyday carry.

My choice would be a Dress Whar......now finding one will be the problem, as I have been looking for a few months with no luck. I might just have to get on the waiting list.

Thanks for your service! My family also thanks you!
 
If I was in the army and being deployed, I would buy a Chris Reeve Mountaineer II. I have had one pass through my hands and it was a really nice largeish knife, very sturdy and a GREAT cutter. ...had a Green Beret and for me the grind was a little thick. Too obtuse a grind = harder to sharpen... remember, if you wanna pound nails, bring a hammer.
 
I'd look for something flashy, but deep-down a user. Maybe that carbon fiber, zdp spyderco stretch, or the S90V military. Won't break the bank. I hear they engrave...
