At the moment it's an XM-18.

 

[ranchmanben]

3" xm-18, slicer grind and smooth carbon fiber scale. Finally saved the money for one, now just waiting for someone to sell it.

Always the next knife that I think I "have to have!" I'm looking at a Darryl Ralph Madd Maxx right now (which I have no use for) and have an Andrew Demko custom coming within a week. The sickness continues....

I haven't decided on a gentleman's knife grail but my tactical grail was the AFCK and/or TSEK. Much to my surprise, they are both being produced in limited runs so it was suddenly very easy to get them at an affordable price. I am loving the TSEK i got. Heavy for edc (i prefer the 530) but such a great looking and feeling knife. Holding it makes me happy.

Carbon fiber s90v Spyderco paramilitary 2... I know less than 600 other people have this knife too, but its the most expensive one I own currently. I'd love to pick up some custom babies.... Those winklers always get my blood pumping!!!

 

[CrimsonTideShooter]

It used to be my CF S90V para2.


Now its my zt 0551. I probably won't buy another knife for a long while since I love this one so much.

Fallkniven HK9 cx?

or some epic, centuries old handforged Katana.

If Kershaw makes a super steel version of the new ZT/Hinderer flipper, and the knife ends up with a 4" blade, that'll pretty much be it.

+1 :thumbup:

If Kershaw makes a good steel version of the new ZT/Hinderer flipper, and the knife ends up with a 4" blade, that'll pretty much be it for me too!

SRKW Satin Battle Rat, Got it, thank you very much.

I want a blade of nanomotile memory-metal that in its inert form is an undifferentiated pill-shaped wad of metal, and when activated takes a blade with an edge measured in atomic radii. But, being nanomotile, the edge can deform to better slip between the atoms of whatever it is that I'm cutting in realtime.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath either.

Edit: Actually, posting this made me remember the Lady Ash bastard sword, and a certain lack of a Randall Made fixed blade in my possession. The former is out of production, but the latter should be plenty attainable when I hit the lottery. I think this means I'm actually doing pretty well - satisfied with my collection, and not really hurting for anything. The only other thing I can think of even wanting is a Himalayan Imports khukri and a titanium La Griffe, but neither rise to the status of true Grail knives.
