What knife are you most fortunate to own?

Swamp Rat Camp Tramp. Knife perfection...and I got it for a great price!
 
This one gives the illusion that I have good taste and class...

It has a knife built in, but it is a hawk.
Made by a good friend and brother and fellow BFC mod.

All I said when I ordered it was hey Mark, are you interested in making a "duded up pipe hawk."
This was the result:

If I walked into our blackpowder camp with that strapped on me. Well lets just say I'd be the most popular guy in camp. That is one beautiful piece of craftsmanship:thumbup:

perhaps it's lame, but it has to be my Bradley Alias II. This is absolutely the best designed, engineered, and built series production folder I've ever seen. The fit and finish are custom-level. It's tough as nails, is a fantastic user (this picture is quite old and bad, from when it wasn't all beat up), isn't that heavy... I could just rave. Absolutely wonderful knife. First over $200 knife I bought, and I maintain to this day that it was worth EVERY penny. Can't afford to keep your Lg. Sebenza? Try one. You won't be disappointed.
 
The knife I feel most appreciative to have is a SwampRat Dog Skinner, D2, Original Style
Handle. I spent three years trying to find one. Got it from David Brown on the exchange.

Pat Crawford made this for my Dad back in 1981 or 82. In the envelope is a printed catalog from the maker and a handwritten letter from Crawford to my father thanking him for his business and returning his hand drawn draft of the knife. Handle is Oosic and fossilized ivory and the blade says Crawford on one side and No.1 on the other. Funny story about this knife, someone claiming to represent Sylvester Stallone offered me a chunk of money for this once, sorry Sly, ain't fer sale. I apologize for the lousy pics a knife this nice deserves a better photographer.

Benchmade/Boguszewski 640 Mini Spike. This was the first higher end production knife that I purchased when I was in college. I regretfully sold it and it took me a long time to find another one. This one will be with me forever.

I usually stick to knives under $100. Below $50 is even better! There are a lot of high value knives available and I aim to get them all :p . So it was a big leap for me toe get my Zero Tolerance ZT0300. I feel very fortunate to have this superb knife. And I will feel even more fortunate when I get the ZT0350, ZT0500, ZT0200, ZT0150, ZT0100, etc. :D

yes, it would be my ZT knifes...price vs. performance; they are the best knifes i currently own and use...i do feel fortunate to be able to purchase (more than one model) and use such high quality tools...
 
Straight-handled Satin Jack CG. But my Swamp Rat Camp Tramp is a really, really close second.
 
I suppose my Hinderer. It's a great knife but in the context of OP's question I answered based solely on price. I'm fortunate to be able to afford it and all the others.

I am fortunate to own a knife collection. I feel blessed to be able to pursue this hobby, and enjoy hunting for various styles and types of knives. My most prized knife right now is.....well, I do not know, I love them all
