What 3 knives would you get first after losing your whole knife collection?

[kleonikos]

Jungle king 1
Jungle king 2
Jungle king 3
They come with presents

 

[leghog]

Folders:
1. Victorinox Farmer
2. Case Baby Butterbean or Case Peanut
3. Vintage Schrade Walden or Ulster small or medium stockman.

Fixed Blades:
1. A 4" drop point hunter in ATS34
2. Mora No.1
3. Ahti Tikka

Bet I could get all 6 for $200-$250 max if I didn't go custom on the drop point hunter.

Skyline, Blur, and since I've only had my blem 0350 for a couple of days, another one of those. Good Lor, if Dave gets any faster at sending knives out, we'll get 'em the day before we know we want 'em!

Great question and thread! But I will answer assuming I cant buy knives #4-20 right away after.

- Benchmade 710. Love this thing.
- Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite...green color. Best knife to use in front of non knife people.
- Emerson Super Karambit or Fox Knives Karambit. I carry a karambit 24/7. Love the blade shape and collect these the most.

COLLECTION:

-Curtiss F3 3.5 Ti scale

4)Since it might take some time to get my hands on one, a pm2 in any configuration other than digi, but this would be the one I started looking for first.

This has to be one of the more important basic question even after buying many knifes. It takes you back to basics and what you actually use. Three is enough to certainly make me feel comfortable. I responded earlier, but this is a great thread topic.

It's interesting that folks are often not choosing the most expensive knives and folders predominate the first couple purchases.

 

[Badhammer]

Buck 124 Frontiersman
Buck 830 Marksman
Buck 301 Stockman

 

[The Aflac Duck]

These 3...

 

[Adirondackman1]

Benchmade Griptilian, Ka-Bar 1211, Spyderco Manix 2

 

[NationalWMD]

1) Hinderer 3.5" Spanto

2) Southard AVO or CRK lg. Sebenza 21

3) CRK sm Sebenza 21 or Mnandi

 

[KELAMA]

If my entire knife collection was suddenly gone, I would only want one knife:

A Hari Kari & one of those big bottle's of Grey Goose. I don't even want to entertain the idea of losing my entire collection...it makes me, sad...

I decided to read through this entire thread before answering and was surprised to find that I had replied 6 months ago. It was interesting because before I started reading the replies I thought that I would choose a carbon steel Case XX 3318 and a Buck 110, the two knives that I started out with as a boy, and a Victorinox Classic. As I was reading but before I got to my first post I started thinking that a Mora might really be a better choice for me than the 110.
So my choices today are basically the same as they were 6 months ago. A Case 3318 is a medium round boulstered Stockman as is the Calf Roper and the Mora and Classic remain unchanged.
Could it be that after all these years and all the money spent on knives I am finally learning what works for me and am satisfied? Amazing!
