You can buy a knife that's less than $2,000 but you don't get to keep the remaining money.

What you gettin?

I honestly have no idea... But I'll make a deal with you. You give me 2 grand, and when I shop around and decide, I promise to share it in the latest acquisitions thread and return whatever is left?
 
Well, I already have a few users that are I like for EDC and can probably afford whatever else I might like to have as an every day using knife, so . . .

In a scarce collectable:
Given a two grand credit, I would probably get something to hold and cherish. I have always wanted a Bob Loveless drop point hunter with stag scales. Stretching the $2K limit, I'd look for one of his Big Bear sub-hilt fighters instead. Anything by Bill Moran would be too high I think. The discontinued Chris Reeve one piece, hollow handled knives are n ow also out of reach as well. Maybe a Darrel Ralph original, semi-custom Madd Max folding daggers from his hay day in the early 2000s.

In an expensive production knife:
Don't think I'd like a William Henry . . .too garish . . .but still a possibility. A Small Sasquatch might be an option from Randall Made's special deale. That has always been a back-burner thought, but again in 2025, $2K is becoming the new twenty dollar bill.

For two thousand dollars I might try to get CRK to doo up a custom-ish Sebenza 31 with Damascus blade, Mammoth ivory inlay and so on, then look for a custom switch blade conversion . . . .that too might exceed the $2,00 USD limit today.

Is two thousand dollars enough, or does my reach exceed my grasp?

What if you 10x your income? Do you think you'd still be buying the same knives? same cars? same house?

I'm not saying my income is 10x yours, just a thought experiment
