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

It'll be Microtech Whale Shark for me...
Every time I come across one of those, I either can't afford it or it's not a good moment to spent such money for it...
 
Slysz Bowie but not the KnifeJoy version.
Hey elde66 elde66 , what is the Knife Joy version if you don't mind me asking ?

Is this the one you're talking about ?

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???
Spartan harsey fir tree, at a used price, im an arborist so it would be neat to me. Also as a second at shot show a year ago hogue announced a hogue counterstrike otf i belive the name was and it was beautiful. But they never released it, never said another word besides that interview, it was with david anderson from knife center. It was about a year ago 90% sure it was a shot show
 
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.
Well, that gives me hope. I'm basically hitting refresh every 3 minutes on the Autos for sale (individual) forum.

Keep an eye on the Exchange, those come up somewhat often. Fun fact, that design is what Bill Harsey sees when he looks out a certain window at the shop/factory, according to him.

Ya i missed one a few weeks ago I’m trying to keep a close eye, and never knew that i love it! I could buy one new, but frankly i want to beat the hell out of it haha, i want to edc it to work and thats a hard life for a knife. So used is better
 
At the moment I'd love to find a reasonably priced Benchmade Anthem, I know they pop up from time to time here but the ones I see are always modified in some way, or off center, or just way overpriced. Still kicking myself for passing on a heavily discounted one at a Gander Mountain years ago because I couldn't understand why a Benchmade should cost $275 or whatever crazy "discount" price was on it at the time :)

Nice, that looks like the OG. Knifejoy released an m390 and blue titanium version that has a satin blade rather than that beautiful mirror stonewash on the OG. Just not quite as nice as the original.

KJ version was M390 rather than XHP and had a blue ano tint to the Ti. Your pic is the orig. from Spyderco which I’m in dire need of! 🙂

Saw it….but I gotta have the real thing. I check the Exchange most every day. Sooner or later one of those suckers is bound to show up. It’s all about the chase. 😎
