For knives that actually exists: Flippa coin for fixed blades ... Condor Nessmuk, or Buck 103 with a 5160 carbon steel blade, or Condor Otzi.

Folding: Buck 110 with 5160 blades and oak covers. (1 each clip point and drop point.)
Vintage/Pre Depression/Pre War NIB/LNIB/MINT 5 1/2 inch closed two blade slipjoint Folding Hunter with 1095 blades, and original leather sheath.

Knives that exist only in my dreams:
Buck 110 with color case hardened steel bolsters and liners, 5160 or 1095 interchangeable FFG clip point, drop point, and spear point blades. Checkered walnut covers. Marine Bronze cover pins and pivot. No nail nicks.
Matching 4 5/8 to 5 inch closed 3 spring stockman, with full size FFG 1095 or 5160 clip point, spey/budding, sheepsfoot/lambsfoot blades with long pulls
Matching 5 inch closed two blade Sunfish with FFG 1095 carbon steel blades with long pulls, or the standard spear point, can opener, flat screwdriver/caplifter, punch awl blades, of a Scout/Camp/Utility/"Demo" knife.
Matching 4 1/2 inch closed Scout/Camp/Utility knife with 1095 or 5160 blades.
3 5/8 to 3 7/8 or 3 8/8 inch closed "Demo" knife with color case hardened handle, marine bronze pins/pivots, 1095 or 5160 blades, (unless there is a better carbon steel for the screwdriver/caplifter blade) and no "CAN OPENER" stamp or etch on that blade.
Spring tempered 5160 back springs on all.
A pull of between 3 to 4 (about like a Buck 301) on all blades. The Buck 110 can have it's standard call it a "5" pull, since it is pinchable.

i have less than zero desire to fight with a knife to open it when (not "if") my hands are cold and/or wet. :)

The possibility of my acquiring any of the above are less than my getting a pet fire breathing unicorn, 4 door Harley Davidson station wagon, or a new intergalactic UFO, and know how to operate the UFO.

You'd be surprised how easy to operate UFOs are nowadays. ;)

Hey everyone,

In my last thread, I was asking for advices about what you consider to be the best "fidget knife", and you made me discover a bunch of great knives I didn't know about. This gave me the idea of pushing the discovery a bit further with this post. (maybe this topic already exists somewhere in the forum, but the search was broken when I wanted to check)

Let's put money aside and dream a little. If you could have any knife in the world, be it for aesthetic or practical reasons, whatever its price is, which one would it be? Or maybe you're lucky enough to already own it?

As of today (these things sometimes change ^^), my dream knife is Zieba's S5 Stolen Souls. The amount of details in it is completely crazy, and I think it's really beautiful. And those inlays on the inner side of the handle are just the cherry on top!

Ok, I kind of like it

Phil Boguszewski Spike in black micarta scales and Devin Thomas Damascus.

Seen one once. I won't see another with a price tag escape me again.
 
That two knives I’ve always lusted after are the CRK Mnandi and the Shiro 95. The one with the tread looking scales.
 
At one time Buck offered the 124 in custom lengths. Pay by the inch.

I would have to order the longest one they’d make just to have it.

As far as available now? I’d have to go with the Stone KA-BAR. Sand cast aluminum handle on a KA-BAR blade, done by the son of the guy who did it during WW2 in the Navy. Pretty cool history. Way above my pay grade though

I have really wanted a Shirogorov Pero over the years. I would say that, plus the moxy to use if I had it.
 
Folder: Benchmade 610 Rukus with S90V or K390 blade.

Fixed blade; Bark River Gameskeeper with blade of CPM Rex 121 at 70 HRC, and Kraton scales.

My dream knife is basically a CRK professional soldier with a 4 or 4.25 inch blade in M390 or maybe 3V. I have considered having a blank waterjetted to finish myself and have also considered having one made.
 
The Borka Blades Stitch has always been at the top of my list of drool worthy knives, but with the price for one being between $2K to $3K or more it's highly doubtful one will ever find it's way into my collection.

My dream knife is my CPK DEK1 that is on preorder. When I receive it I'll upload a couple of photos.
