OK, you've hit it big in some lottery, and now to reward yourself, you get to buy what you would like and not worry about the price. What would you buy? Do you go hog wild? Do you just buy that William Henry Studio piece that you always wanted but could never justify the price? Commission a custom piece (what style and from whom?). Just curious what you guys would do if you didn't have the normal constraints.

Edit: Edged tools only. No fast cars or fast women.

(this is my knife wish list btw)
 
I buy out Darrel Ralph Designs, but don't get in Darrel's way in any knife production. Naturally, I get his knives free because I own the company, and he can still do whatever he wants designing knives.
 
I'd buy 100 Sebes and hit them again each other on the edges and see which one survives.

Just kidding~
 
an RJ Martin and a couple super steals knives. Probably one or 2 per locking mechanism. Putting a Hinderer Spanto on a Strider Double Gunner Grip would be nice too.

I would also do destruction tests with all the knives and other suggested requested knives. But not destruction test like hitting it with a hammer, I would buy a house and destroy it with the knife being reviewed. Have someone fix up the house and start over next week. Make my own version of youtube called youknife and post the vids and reviews.
 
2 of every CRK ever made(i know high hopes), and several customs from the makers here on the forum. a couple of Gayle Bradley knives, spyderco limited editions, benchmade gold class, zt0301,0200,0551, some busses', and a few others
 
I would buy (over time):
Benchmade Rift, Benchmade Bone Collector fixed blade 15005(?), BM CSKII;
Kellam Puko;
Roselli Carpenters UHC;
one of Dozier's hunters;
Bark River Aurora, Liten Bror, Lil' Canadian, Drp Point Hunter, and a few others;
Helle Harding, Eggen, and Fjelkniv;
Spyderco Military, Caly-3;
Case red bone small Toothpick, key lime Trapper;
Buck Vanguard, 102 (for memory lane);
an Aitho Pukko (probably a Kellam);
a couple of KOA fixed blades (to include at least the boning knife and Muskrat);
a few customs;
ANd a couple of dozen or so Moras of varying design.
 
Darrel Ralph's company, copyrights, & trademarks and then hire him to go to work for me . . . . . :D
Be safe.

You'd have to buy that from me, and I won't sell. I was first. :p

Harkamus, what is really horrible, I used to live about 10 miles from him when I was in college @ Capital University. I lived in Westerville which is a hop, skip, and a jump to where he lives in the Galena/Sunbury area. But I was not into knives in that period of my life, so I don't feel so bad. But damn, if I would have stayed in Columbus & not transferred around the U.S. so many times, how great would that be to have him as a "neighbor" ? ? ? ? :thumbup:

Wow. Did you ever end up meeting the man? Darrel is extremely personable on the phone.
