The one historical knife design you would like to own

[thejamppa]

Hi all!

What would be the historical knife design you would take, if you could choose one design and get mint condidtion real deal of that knife?

I would probably want Out The Front Fallschirmjäger-messer. Rare as they can get and one the most famous gravity knives to the date.

Edit: It could be a particular knife type used during historical period or someone's legendary knife, like Jim Bowie's knife he used in Alamo for example.

I'd like to own Jim Bowie's original "Bowie knife". Then we'd be able to settle once-and-for-all what the dang thing looked like.

Well I guess, although not a "knife", a real deal Julius Caeser sword would look nice in a display case.

In reality I'd settle for a mint, NIB, Hugh McConnell or Michael Price SF Bowie (or a Will & Finck bowie if it was forced on me).

I would want the sword of Alexander the Great. It saw the conquest of the known world. Very cool.

I'd really like one of the fine, old Sheffield lobster pattern or exhibition knives. One of the exhibition knives in pearl with 300 or so blades would suit me just fine.

It's hard to find images of exactly what I'm talking about, but I guess I could settle for something like this:

The knife used by Jack the Ripper

SOG SCUBA/Demo or SOG recon Bowie.
I'd prefer a Roman Gladius in the Mainz pattern over anything but I don't think that counts as a knife

Whatever knife, if any, Einstein used to carry. That'd be a neat one.

I'm still hankering for a nice, double-curved khanjar. I always pine for that lovely antique I couldn't win on ePray years ago.
