What knife would make you feel "complete" as a collector?

For me, it would have to be a hand-forged damascus bowie with a stag handle. The sheath should be engraved leather, hand-sewn. And when I hold it in my hands, I can feel the love and the hardwork that have gone into it.

It will come alive in my hands. It will make me smile with the greatest of satisfaction.

Most of all, it will make me say, "man, you have indeed arrived!"

:D :)
 
All of them!

That's a tough question. There are so many beautiful knives out there I don't think there is one knife that would make my collection feel complete. I would like to have a custom katana made with the traditional methods.
 
one of the muramasa(?) swords that cut floating petals in the stream and according to legent, scream for blood once drawn from the sheath:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
As soon as I get the complete set (read every style, model, configuration, color, or flavor ever) someone will just make something new.

No such thing as 'complete' collector. Once we get what we want, we'll want somethig else.
 
That's easy. While I would like (love) knives from various makers The one knife that would make my collection complete (even if it was the only knife in the collection) would be any knife by William F. "Bill" Moran.

... I would start with a nice, authentic, Japanese sword that was meant to be used. I read somewhere that a gentleman by the name of Howard Clark produces the best on the North American continent.

A Cold Steel Tanto with San Mai 3.

Benchmade Custom Balisong with bowie high clip point blade, milled stainless steel handles, and custom spring latch.

Emerson Kerambit - 'nuff said.

Any Randall knife.

I think that would just about do it for me. :D
 
As much as I dislike both tantos and linerlocks, a CQC6 would be sweet.
 
I would die a happy man if only I had a Bill Bagwell Hell's Belle.:).

...It sucks that Santa isn't "for real".:D.
 
From the first knife magazine I ever saw in 1998 a Fowler Pronghorn was my dream knife. I've had one now since Blade 2001 and if my plane would have crashed on the way home from Atlanta I would have died a happy man. But Ed had on his table my next dream knife, it was a part of a set Ed and Joe Szileski did, an engraved ax and a Stag handle Pronghorn. :eek: :eek: :eek: I would have sold my soul for that knife, but there were no offers. Well, it's nice to have something to shoot for.

I thought I had seen it all, but then I saw Joe S at NYCKS and he takes out of his vest pocket a Folder Pronghorn in STAG!!! Engraved and made to go with the ax and stag pronghorn, for the owner of the set. I had dreamed of this knife before I saw it, I didn't think it would ever exisit, but there it was. More beautiful than you could ever imagine. I had to ask Joe, "How much?" He told me it was a one of a kind and I would have to ask Ed if he'd make the blade for one along the same lines. I don't know how or when I'll be able to put the money together to even approach Ed about it, but I do have vital organs for sale. The lungs are shot, but if you need a liver, spleen or kidney drop me an e-mail. :D
 
I don't think any one knife would make me feel "complete" as a collector. There are too many out there I like. I've got a few customs on their way and have drawn plans of another ready to go! Just when I think I'll be satisfied, along comes another idea! So many types of knives; so little time!:( :D :D

We want what we cant have, then once we get it, we dont seem to want it as much as we did before we had it. Nothing will ever complete a collector, thats why their called collectors, they collect :)
