What knife for $750?

If this is about what you want, then I'd suggest something from André Thorburn, or (money towards) a Rockstead Higo-X.

If it's about what I would buy, then I'd put that $750 towards a Rockstead Shun.

beautiful bunch of folders. I like your taste.
 
An Opinel or Mora for the first 50 respondents to the mother of all Bladeforums give-aways?
 
Southern grind bad monkey and a nice escort...
 
I'm switching my vote back to a Valkyrie and TR/Terzuola. You can't start with a Thorburn, you won't
understand the nuances of good, if you start with great. Gotta work your way up to one. Also, I think
the Valkyrie challenges our perceptions/prejudices about price/quality/value.
 
That T.A.D folder looks mighty nice... and there's nothing wrong with blues benders choices either. I wouldn't say no to any of them. :D

If there was money left over I've grab a Spyderco Gayle Bradley since it has been on the list for a while now. I need to pull the trigger before the supply dries up. The first edition has less choil to get in the way during cutting.

Congrats Cricketdave. :thumbup:

Pretty simple question just thought that would be interesting to see what people would choose if they randomly found $750 in your wallet!

I'd buy a vintage WW2 Case 337-6"Q and save the other ~$600-$650
 
I'd never, ever, ever spend that kind of money on a knife, but — playing along for the sake of playing along — a handforged puukko with a stacked birchbark handle.
 
I'd go after a Thorburn front flipper.

I really wish Rockstead offered a flipper. Or even just one with a nail nick like a Mnandi. I really don't like the look of their thumb studs. Remind me of one of those tropical flies with their eyes out on stalks.

I'd begin shopping for that nice '50's-'60's vintage Italian switchblade that has eluded me for so long--probably a Campolin, Beltrame or Sons of Italy, 11 or 12" OA, bayonet or FFG blade. Preferably in 1095 or better.....
 
I found $5 in my stack of bills that I thought had slipped out of my pocket---I was thrilled.

No knives for $750---I'd be getting a new stainless Super Blackhawk

I'm not exactly rich and not exactly poor but for me $750 is gun money ---not knife money---all my knives are $200 or less
 
Most likely a Thorburn. Maybe hold off and get two of a lower prices knife. But probably just get a Thorburn.
 
I'd have a functional, yet different, knife custom made. Something very useful for EDC, but eye catching as well. Make it a family heirloom to keep passing down through the years.
