What is the knife you want more than anything, but cannot find?

[Newlin4141]

I've collected knives since I was a kid, but only within the last year has the hobby become a full-blown obsession. So I guess I'm fairly new. I have some Pro-Techs, Benchmades, a Gerber here, CRKT there.

Is it just me, or does everyone have THAT ONE knife they saw somewhere and are consumed with the need to find it? Is that a thing in the knife community? If so, what is it? What's The One you want so bad you'd consider dropping stupid money on?

Here's mine: Boker Burnley Kwaiken Compact Automatic Knife OD Green (3" Copper) Pro-Tech
Apparently it was a BladeHQ exclusive, so chances of it ever materializing seem bleak. Or maybe not. I don't know. I'm starting to suspect the whole "email me when it becomes available" button is there just to collect email addresses.

What's yours???

Do I have to pick just one..?

The CRKT 5250 Nirk Tighe, a Lone Wolf Defender, an original Buck Paradigm (not the latest iterations), a small (4" blade) Cold Steel Paradox with aluminum handles, an AG Russell Sting... These are all knives I've had a chance to acquire but missed out on, and have wanted since! There are others, but these are the most likely to eventually turn up...

 

[Newlin4141]

Will they turn up? If a retailer like BladeHQ has an 'exclusive' run of a knife, what are the chances it'll return for a second run? How often does that happen?

Just make this a production version Rick, because they are impossible to find under $8-900.
Maybe someday

Those that I can't find and really want, I try to do a clean drawing and ask one of the awesome custom makers you find on Blade Forums to do it for me. Take a walk on BF's Knife Makers Market...

I think it's a dealer exclusive. Number 104 of 500 either way. I hunted it for years. Hang in there. Everything pops up on the fs threads here eventually.
