My knife want list is a bit different since I make knives myself, so here is a list of knives that I want to make in the future:

1. Traditional Puukko
2. Traditional Leuku
3. Modernized Puukko
4. Modernized Leuku
5. A good Kephart copy
6. 8" chef's knife
7. Small wood carving knife
8. 3.75" forest utility knife

Those are on my "to-do" list.

Too many.

Spyderco Yojimbo 2, S90V & CF
Zero Tolerance 0620CF
Emerson Super Karambit

These are probably my top three.

Many others though I'd like to own.

This with orange scales in M390.

I've also got my sights on a Survive Knives GSO 4.1.

Interesting you say this. Me too.

Looks like the love child of a Fallkniven F1 and BK16. My two favorite small fixed blades plus better steel? Bring it.

I'm looking for a Chad Los Banos/Boker MPT. Seems many of the knives I develop an interest in are out of production.

Could be worse. Have a gal pal looking for a Micro II butterfly knife. :(

My Holy Grail:
Emerson CQC-6

Been in lust with it since I was 19 and it was $400 with a 6 month waiting list........

Next knife on my list is a Microtech Halo 5 or a Microtech Scarab. After that I'm going to have to start saving for a home, I doubt I'll be buying too many knives in the near future.

I had the hidden tang version of this knife (BRKT Forager). Came scary sharp with the interesting combo of a very thin edge with very thick spine do to the way the grind was done.

I have always wanted anything from Duane Dwyer. I think some of my work reflects my affinity for his style of knives.

Anything from D'Alton D'Holder. I have some and want more. This is a knifemaker.

A Gerber Mk II with original canted blade.

I have 3 vintage Mk II's but really want one of the canted blade versions.

ESEE 3 is at the top of my list.

I've got just about all the knives I want, there are only four more I want, a Blackjack Model 7 with the stacked leather handle, a kukuri of some sort, a 12-14 inch, carbon steel, 19th century style bowie, and a carbon steel dagger that's similar to a Gerber Mk.2. I've got all the practical knives I could ever need, now I just want the impractical collector's stuff. I'm pretty well set on buying blade blanks for the last two, and finishing them how I want.

I've been thinking about buying one of the knockoffs, disassembling it, and replacing the junk blade with a real blade, then doing whatever cosmetic work is necessary to make it look authentic.

Hinderer XM18. Doubt I'll ever have one of them.

Esee izula and Esee 4

Busse. Like the Hinderer, I doubt I'll ever own one.

Finally found one of my wishlist items in stock... Paramilitary 2 is now en route.

Bought pretty much the rest of my wishlist throughout the last year or so and discovered that most of the things that were left on the list weren't really wishes once I had the others. (A healthy does of ESEE, Spyderco and Zero Tolerance has a way of giving that satisfied feeling.)

About the only thing left (for now) would be some Strider fixed blade goodness. Gonna have to hit the lottery for that though.

Hmmm..BK16, HEST, Bark River (Bravo, Canadian, etc.). I'm currently struggling with a BRD of sorts with knives.

I really like this knife. Picked one up recently for $105, used it to cut up a bunch of water damaged carpet. It was dulled a little but a few swipes on a 1200 grit diamond stone and a leather strop and it was back to sailing through paper like crazy.

I like that the handle material isn't slicked up like the Micarta on Bark River's Bravo 1 or Fallkniven's Anniversary F1.

I consider it a bargain.

Planning to get a hinderer xm18,Busse AK47, RMJ Shrike, and special edition monkey edge frag microtech ultra tech and see if Busse comes out with anything new that I can't live without. I have recently caught the INFIbug and its a bad case

My problem is that someone always comes out with something I want. It's like they plan it.

Bark River Classic Drop Point Hunter or a Huntsman

I've been looking for a nice hunting knife and couldn't really decide. After reading through this forum I've been lusting after a Bark River. Someone keeps posting beautiful pictures of them and I think they are really nice looking knives. Now I just need to decide if I want to spend $275 on a knife instead of a gun or crossbow...

Spyderco Gayle Bradley
Benchmade Contego
Benchmade Griptillian
ZT 0560 just to have it in black
A good fixed blade for my EDC bag, still undecided

I don't need much out of a knife, currently rotate between a ZT 0561 and a Spyderco PM2. I just like knives lol.
