Your dream job, and dream knife to go with it

My dream job sort of requires me to have had some success beforehand (like a Michael Dell or Bill Gates). I really would like to be a philanthropist. I would like to work and fund projects that help make people's lives better.

Dream knife would likely be a small Case 1920s or 1940s pocket knife in that beautiful greenbone.
 
my dream job would be owning a vineyard in the Finger Lakes area of upstate NY.....dream knife would be a Bose 6 blade congress with nice stag handles, if it had a corkscrew, that would be perfect!!!:D
 
Dream job: Safari guide, East Africa.

Dream knife: Case Copperhead w/ African ebony scales and brass pins.

Got the knife, but not the job. :(
 
Dream job would be to help John Taffin test guns for "Guns" and "American Handgunner"(I couldn't do a good enough job on my own) dream knife would be a Ken Erickson jigged bone Cattleknife.
 
My dream job would probably be forrest / park ranger. I'd probably take good old Finnish puukko, perhaps one of the best there is: Tommi Puukko made by Kainuun puukko.

Puukko is really good general blade in forrest.
 
My dream job would be to work for an organization that cares about the workers.That does'nt happen much anymore.
 
I've always had two dream jobs. On a professional level, I always wanted to see my name on the door in my law firm. Even though I am an attorney, I figured it would never happen. I didn't want to be a solo practitioner and never thought I would find people I wanted to start a firm with. That changed last August. In January three of us left our old firm and never looked back. I am the youngest Founding Member by far, but it has been my best professional decision. It is nice seeing your name on the door every morning. What I would love as much as that would be moving to the Isle of Skye. I lived in Scotland for two years and feel in love with Skye on my travels around the country. I was lucky enough to marry a wife who also loves the area. As for work, there is a nice distillery on the island...Talisker. I would love to learn the whisky making business and live on Skye. As for a knife, well the UK has all sorts of restrictions. Since I fully intend to retire to Skye I have shifted from modern to traditional knives. As for the knife itself, it would be my Canal Street Splitback Whittler in Buffalo Horn, a Canal Street Canittler, or a custom Swayback Jack.
 
I would want to sell knives at a special knife store and carry a random fixed blade that the store carries, so I could just pop it off my belt and show it to potential customers.
 
I'll play along. My dream job would be to play the dobro in a bluegrass band. Something along the lines of "The Infamous Stringdusters". A knife definitely would not be a requirement for this job, but I would love to have a 3.25" version of the Case peanut in CV steel with a smooth brown buffalo horn handle.
 
farmer/ moonshiner.... i'd grow lots of corn, hey and tatters so i could keep my pigs feed ;)
life would be nice and slow... later i would run for mayor and rise to my true calling. after four years i would become dissenchanted and go back to my farm. i might build a house or two and maybe start a small saw mill just to clear some land and show an income to the regulators.
my leadfoot nephew is always tearin' up my good cars so i'll have to start up a mechanic shop just to the shipments on schedule. he tore up the last one in asheville coming back on a dry run but i can fix it. i'm thinkin' i need to charge him to drive my cars. he's been askin' to enter a local dirt track race over in pickens and the hunerd dollar money to win don't look good unless i can sell some molasis at the track for some good money.
think i'll give that racin' a try. my nephew is gonna tear up my cars anyway but he can sure sell molasis.
oh... i almost forgot... my pocket knife... it's a case stockman bought new in 1948. it was a very good year.
 
My how time flies and things change. I answered back in April that I needed my 25 OT (thanks for clarifying that Voltron :thumbup:) but now I think that in addition to one of those rolls on one side of the saddle to hold my guns, I need a roll on the other side, or maybe in the saddlebags, for all my slipjoints so I could select the perfect one for the task at hand. :D
 
Pretty close right now. Carpentry/building maintenance in the summer, ski business in the winter, and a musician year round.
Knives- a Tommi puukko, a GEC slippie, and a CE M1.
 
The problem is we don't get do-overs, third times the charm, one more chance....you get this one life. Pick your friends, pick your lovers, pick your God, pick you gun and pick a few good knives. The rest is trivia.

To dream would be to have two or three high quality sipjoints and one good fixed blade handled in elephant ivory from the charging bull I dropped at 20 paces.

300
 
300Bucks is right. I am glad I knew what I want to do and what I love before I was 30. I love woods. Besides puukko, I'd take my Queen small Dan Burke Barlow.
 
Did anyone already call knife sharpener in a topless blues & BBQ joint?! :D

I'd tote a soddie jr. in CV and a Victorinox Rambler (just like I have in my pocket right now).

Dream job would probably be to be Micheal Buffer and get paid a ton of money just to introduce fighters.
My knife would be a Damascus Peanut. Very pretty.
