....and you can save only ONE knife from your ENTIRE collection, which would it be?

This $ucks, and it's my own damned question! LOL!!

If I had to save just ONE, it'd be my Randall 12-8 Bear Bowie.
 
Answer #1. Get the family out of the house, don't worry about the knives. if I try to pick out one, I'm going down with the ship :p

Answer #2. I keep almost all of them in the same cupboard, pull out a drawer and run.

Answer #3. Probably my Himalyan Imports YCS.
 
No worries. All the good knives are in the safe and it was selected and installed to protect contents even if the whole house burns to the ground around it.
 
i think y'all are missing the point of the question. pretend you don't have your safe/bomb shelter/drawer/have-to-get-the-family-and-pets-out-first-dilemma.

just pretend you can only take one, regardless of the circumstances. like... someone's going to melt all of your knives but one, while you watch. death and murder are not options. you get one knife and that's it.

i'd take the Spyderco Kiwi that my wife gave to me. everything else would be bought again later since they're all productions anyway.

Get my family out period, screw the knifes, screw the guns, screw material objects. No knife is worth my life or family.
 
Okay, here's the fire drill:

1) get ALL the knives out!
2) simultaneously get all the firearms (hey, never said it'd be easy).
3) check to see if the wife made it out in the interim.
 
I would put on my pants, then grab my Grandfather's old knives.


(Btw, I keep all my good knives in the pocket of my pants).

Tough decision. My current favorite is my Krein TK-8 so I guess that would be the one. Damn you for making me choose! :( ;)
 
Well, there's 2 in one spot I would grab. 1. A Kabar fixed blade w/stag handle & homemade sheath that was my father's when he was young 2. A cheap POS 6" fixed blade (Imperial USA) that I have had since I was 12 or so -many happy memories associated with that knife.

Then if my wife got out OK, I would give her the list of the others to go get ! :D :D
 
I would have to take my Benchmade 220 Resistor fixed blade.

if I could pick a second, my 722.. Since AFCK's, Benchmites, and KABAR's are replacable.
 
Well, if I'm wearing my pants at the time, then that means I'm already carrying 2-3. Does that mean I have to leave some behind for the fire? :eek:
 
My first thought was to gran my current favourite EDC - Spyderco Manix. Then again all of my knives are replaceable except for an old WW2 bayonet my uncle gave me - so I guess I'd grab that.
 
Easy, the pocket bowie I designed w/Gene Ingram and had made in honor of my passed uncle.

Sincerely,
Anthony

P.S. The child goes first, then the wife, then me then the knives, then my computer, then the cats- if I have time... :eek: :p :D
