Havn't done this in a while, but if you could have one fixed blade, what would it be? What about if you could only have one folder?

Fixed blade = Busse NMFSH Varient
Folder = Benchmade 760 (Bob Lum folding tanto)


Those are my two choices, try to get some pics of them up sometime.

Fixed blade... the S5, S6 or maybe even the 511. BUT I would cheat and also have my Muppy. grin And of course, the Wardog would be a contender as well. Decisions decisions.

Sure am glad this is all hypothetical.

Folder... Man that IS a tough one. I would have to pick from the Emerson cqc15, the Spyderco Military or PM2 probably. OR if I wanted a bruiser maybe the ZT 0909. BUT I could also pick from the large GTI tactical folder or maybe even the Emerson Rendition or Patriot.

Now IF I were going for pure brawn it would have to be the ZT 0909 and then probably the large GTI Tactical Folder followed closely by the Emerson Rendition and Patriot.

This is as close as I can get to "There can be only one" grin

Now IF we are talking Tactical knives, the Scrapyard S6 or the TaliWhacker. Even though I really like the S6 I would probably go with the Tali just because it would also I feel do double duty (better) than the S6. Meaning that it would also serve as a good although large "Survival" blade. But this would of course necessitate the inclusion of a GOOD smaller fixed or folder. Which brings us back full circle.

VERY difficult to answer, but maybe the B11 and Busse folder that Jerry had at the Blade show. Talk about RARE!!! grin

I would choose my beloved S4 and an Emerson, any Emerson.

Holy Sophies Choice Batman!

Fixed- Camp Tramp...or Howling Rat

Folder- Emerson Tiger...or ZT 0562..or Spyderco Gale Bradley 2

It's too hard to choose!

Is strange I went with the Tiger though as I rarely carry it, but it's a good all-rounder than others I have I guess

If it's any knife, then a BWM (INFI) and a ZT... Almost any ZT.

If we're limited to what we've got on hand, then the Chopweiller and my Gerber auto.

I was going with the knives I own. DT has a good idea though, My BWM would fit in nicely and pair that along with oh maybe an my 511, S5 or a 411 (but remember I would cheat and also have my Muppy).

But IF you want to go with something similar, the BWM and War dog would be a good pair.

Oh my gosh! I completely forgot my Chophouse lean cut! THAT would be the one. I am already familiar with that blade style (having one like it since 1975 or '76). I'm talking about my Negrito hunting Bolo here. The chophouse is VERY similar to it in the blade profile.

So, smaller blades would remain a toss up between the 511, S5, 411 and the Wardog. But Man would I want my Muppy. I just LOVE that knife! Now if Dan would just make another Mud Puppy with a 4.25-4.50 inch blade with the same choil and grip...Knife heaven.

Probably so BC. A LOT of folks just call it an S4.
