Recommendation? what is your dream folding knife

I would say it would be very similar to a ZT 0777 with MRBS ceramic bearings, ceramic detent, and S35VN steel... Priced at about $150 so I wouldn't hesitate to carry and use it.
 
Mine is my Shirogorov F95T in Vanax 37. It is 100% all I could ever want in my personal dream folder.

Good night if these guys ever did a fixed blade....
 
My dream folder is probably a little dull and it’s definitely not the greatest ever made but.......I would love it.
I carried a Buck 110fg a lot when I was younger, it was the first knife I really bonded with and I still really like 110’s in general. But the fg model, it just feels right.
Earlier this year I bought a 110 with aluminum frame and Paperstone scales. I really like that it’s lighter and I think it’s a pretty good looking knife but sadly no finger grooves. Regular 110 handles feel good, they are comfortable but I guess because I grew with the finger grooves they just click with me.
So my dream folder would be a aluminum framed Buck 110 with Paperstone scales and finger grooves.
 
The 940-1 is the closest that I’ve found so far.
2.4 oz.
Good looking and decently grippy CF scales.
s90v steel.
Seems to slice just fine for me. Strong tip.
I don’t need a “hard use” folder for an everyday carry knife. This knife is lightweight, slender and easy in the pocket yet capable of cutting hay bale twine or a rubber hose on a tractor with ease.
I also happen to like the way it looks.:)

My “dream” folding knife would be a Chris Reeve Sebenza or Inkosi with a flipper action.

That’s probably blasphemy to many people but I would envision a knife like that as near perfection.
 
I'm a maker so I appreciate the custom world and really enjoy buying from other makers. So with that being said I'd have to go with a Gareth bull shamwari

Or a HMC knives transient in m390

And grail of grail a brad Richmond flipper with tasmania blackwood scales, zirconium bolsters. Something similar to this

G&G Hawk. But OTF knives are illegal here so no chance in ever getting one.
 
My large Sebenza 21 insingo with micarta inlays seems to be my dream knife, or if not my dream knife at lost my benchmark for all my other knives

I carry it or my small Inkosi Depending on the environment any days and they make my “dream pair”

Since I have them, I have completely changed my collection. I am selling over 70% of my knives because I don’t use them anymore, and I am know focusing on completely different models as I don’t really need anything else.

Some spydercos for specific uses and slipjoint for some occasions... some flippers for the fun but even flippers are now less fun than they were used to be....

I think that 2 CRK, 2/3 spydercos and some slip joint can be all what I need and really use now

Compared to a batch of 30-40 off before I got my large Sebenza I think that it is clearly my “game breaker”

It doesn't exist. It's a Large Sebenza 21 with full scale overlay(like a mnandi) in box elder burl and a polished Insingo blade in ZDP-189 at about 64hrc.

A 940 with cabon fiber scale, m390 blade, all screw in blue and with DLC coating blafe in 1.1x size.
 
I have not found my dream knife yet. It would be a luxury gentlemen folder with mammoth molar scales or something
 
Ron Lake. Probably never going to happen...

Tony Bose I can do, but stretching into 5 figures plus is hard.
 
My custom Dpx hest f with deep belly drop tanto regrind. The intersecting razor edge, drop point and deep belly make a very universal design. I gave it a 5 stage mirror edge. Wouldn't change anything on it now. About 1 year into the regrind and it is working so well for my needs.
 
Doesn't exist but a slysz reate collab --I'd buy two. Favorite knife designs and solid reliable construction.

Right now, my dream folder is a fully-custom Stan Wilson NFF. I'd probably go with a blued damascus blade and a "tuxedo" handle of some sort, give it a name, and never put it down.
