What's the most expensive knife you have?

At the moment, my Busse Hell Razor w/snakeskin micarta scales and desert camo finish ($400)- next week it will be my William Henry Attache (how's that for range?) which will then be superceded by my Busse Fusion Battle Mistress LE when it arrives (I think I need help!)
 
Not trying to be funny but your question made me think about two old knives that carry many memories for me. My father's small SAK and my grandfather's old beat-up "Colonial" pocket knife. The SAK is about 20 years old (I gave it as a Christmas present) but the Colonial must be at least 40-50 years. I remember seeing my grandfather use it often when I was a boy. Anyway, they are both "priceless" to me so in a manner of speaking, they are the most expensive knives I have.

Regards
 
I think my most expensive knife is all of them put together, mostly spydy's, & BM's with a few others like a EKC Karambit, and CS. Maybe the most expensive one is like $220 dollars but if you have twenty, one hundred dollar knives well it adds up. LOL...
 
A Masamoto hongasumi yanagiba for more than a grand, tax included.
Useful in the kitchen, that's why.
For sheer collectibles, wood Sebs and Randalls were even more expensive than my custom-mades.
Oops: Apart from my custom Ken Onion(s), that is ...
but they came second-hand, so who cares about them? ;-)
 
I'd have to say my Randall confederate bowie with double lug brass guard and blk. micarta handle.
Didn't pay out my nose for it but Randalls seem to be going for way more then I'd pay these days.
 
Buck 184 Buckmaster..

Buck 185 Buckmaster LT

Tops Tracker

Marto Brewer Explorer Survival

in that order, I think....
 
Well, I just ordered a sword from a smith named Patrick Barta in the Czech Republic and you all don't even want to know the price. It is a two year wait, at minimum, for his work and it is very expensive, but it is well worth it.

great to hear from you, fh, but we do - it's the idea of this thread.
to provoke you into being more specific, i could point out that as a rule Czech bladesmiths aren't as pricey as some others, e.g. Japanese ones...???

I have posted about it down in the Sword Forum, but the short form is that it is Patrick Barta's sword no. 118, a replica of the Abingdon Sword from the late Anglo-Saxon period, and it costs 1600EURO. For more detail, please see this thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=434889
 
Tristram, 1600EURO converts to $2,050US. I suspect that you were thinking of Lutel or some other Czech swordmakers as Patrick is expensive but worth every penny. Look at his replica of the Sutton Hoo sword and then read about how he made the pommel with all of its garnets inset. BTW, he smelts his own iron ore to get exactly the metal that he wants and then makes his own pattern-welded blades.
 
Up until today it was a BM 943 I bought in a brick and morter shop for 160$.

I just got called and told my Microtech Halo 3 showed up today.
