What do you expect from your potentially ideal knife? I'm talking the knife that you would be comfortable carrying and happy to own for the rest of your days.

My knife would need these things:

-Full flat grind
-Thumb hole
-Dual liners and scales of some grippy, durable material. Canvas micarta or nice, curved, molded G10 would be ideal
-Front lock, Compression lock, frame lock, or Axis
-Nice, deep bellied drop, clip or spear point blade
-Blade length somewhere in between 2.75 and 3.75 inches
-A comfortable, smooth pocket clip. Wire clips are too ugly for me, so something more solid and flat will have to do. The clips on the new Boker Clip are nice. The whole disappearing clip idea isn't so bad either, but I can't have it interferring with more important features.
-Two deep finger choils, one 50/50 are a must, as well as ridges on the 50/50 choil and the back of the thumb hole.
- Acceptable blades steels are VG 10, ATS 34, BG 42, ZDP 189, and S30V

My ideal knife is obviously a Spyderco. How about the rest of you?
 
My ideal folding knife? Hmm I might be getting pretty close when I send my manix in for a mirror finish and some lignum vitae scales. A leaf blade, mirror finished with a very shallow convex edge, an axis or compression lock, titanium liners with exotic hardwood (non cocobolo! :eek: ) scales. Spyderco is sounding like they'd make my ideal knife also. I like vg10 myself. S30v is OK.
 
Since you didnt specify a folder, I'm gonna throw in my fixed blade.
4'' ATS 34 hollow ground 1'' wide for slicing, small guard, wood(cocobola) handle and a layard hole.8'' over all length as i dont like excess handle length.
 
I meant to include fixed blades, if that is your preference.

I'd also like to add, three things that will really put me off from a knife I would like otherwise are liner locks, hollow grinds, and 440C steel. Those are kind of like my pet peeves.
 
What would I expect??? When I look in the hat I would expect to see a Strider AR in it!! :D :D :cool:
