Yep, another one of "those" threads. And why not? We all know as we learn more, handle and use more, our wishes change. Mine certainly do. Here's my short list. I admit I'm a bit practical-minded when it comes to knives so my list might be a tad boring for some of you heavy-hitters. ;)

Benchmade Bedlam (manual) - Ever since my visit to N. Africa and getting to see some of the heavily Persian-influenced cutlery in the Arab world, wow, awesome.

Doug Ritter RSK Mk1 - My Grips are my favorite folders and I've always wanted a Ritter.

Skookum Bush Tool - The ultimate bushcrafter in my opinion. Now I just have to wait 37 years for Rod to get it to me.... (j/k) ;)

SAK Pioneer - Never had an Alox SAK, this seems ideal.

Fallkniven TK2 - What's there to say? I've never heard a bad word said about this expensive little knife.

Kephart - I'll probably have one of the makers here get one of these put together for me. I think everyone needs a good Kephart pattern knife.

I've got pretty much everything else I want for the most part. Granted, knives will come and go, but this is the current list. So what's yours like?

I just got a Benchmade Bedlam, I've always wanted one ever since I saw a picture of one. I love it, but the only negative is that the pocket clip is really long and the knife doesn't offer that good of a grip. Good knife though, I love it.

My List:

ZT 0561
Emerson CQC-8
Emerson CQC-15
Spyderco Brad Southard Flipper
ZT 550 Black Blade
Grey/Black Benchmade Griptilian from KW
Blue Spyderco Paramilitary 2
Kershaw Knockout
Benchmade 581

Nice list! I've never had an Emerson. I hear they are hit and miss so I've been too scared to try them!
 
I have wanted a Sebenza for years but have always been too cheap. One of these days I will have one.

#1 - Spyderco Gayle Bradley
#2 - Zero Tolerance 0560
#3 - Spyderco Gayle Bradley Air
