The Yojimbo!

...the Ronin.... :rolleyes:

UK Pen knife - reason... it will be illegal to own any knife except a plastic butter knife in the UK in 10 years. :eek:

Pacific/Atlantic salts - reason... new super steels like Sal-o-steel and spydo-steel will make h1 production too expensive and obsolete.

The best selling knife will be the "Vex Avenger", since Spyderco will have all the legal rights to all Benchmade designs after the bankruptcy and forced sale of BM for 1 cent on the steps of an Oregon courthouse. :D

I agree with Brian I also think that the Ronin will be a CLASSIC. But I'm not going to stop there in the fixed blade department. I will also add the following:
FB Temperance
Fixed blade LUM Tanto
FB Perrin ( 1st model)

In the folder category I have the following to consider:
The Titanium ATR
Yojimbo
Dodo
and almost any of the first generation Carbon Fiber folders.
These will be safe bets.

Persian
CPM S30V CF Military
Dodo
Perrin
Temperance
lil' temp
CF PE civilian

I would have to go with the Kris and the Kopa production runs. It doesn't seem that there is a lot of interest in the Kris much like the Zowada in its day.

Wish I bought a few extra when Sierra had em for $62

When was that? :eek: I can't believe I missed it.

June, fixed blade Temps were $42.95 also!

My guess:

Persians
Bob Lum (Chinese, Folder, FB)
Original R
Delica Ti
Klötzli Walker
Jess Horn jigged bone
Khalsa
Viele
Ayoob
ATR Ti
Kopa series
Spyker

It might save time if you guys just post a picture of the 2004 or 2005 catalog... :D

Which current knives in the future will be the hot items to have in a collection in ten or 15 years?
Maybe the new S? or maybe the Adventura or maybe the Volpe. How about a Poliwog.

What drives a knife to be a classic?

Your thoughts?

I thought it all started from a simple question :D

I really like the Persian, though i've never handled it. It appeals to my eyes, and I'm sure it would do the same to my hands. It's just an artwork.

Persian.

Because it's simply the best!


R.IV

The mini and full size Persians
The Burgundy Micarta Jess Horn
The Centofante 4

... maybe the Kiwi

... definitely the Lava

Schempp designs, my vote for both Persians, and I have a feeling that the Kriss maybe..
And the C54 Calypso :D

centofante III , native, donny b has spoken.

I'm going to have to go with collaborations, too: the entire Lum family, (folders and FB) and the Ronin. Plus one other candidate that I think is an exceptional knife: the Massad Ayoob.

:eek: Ouch! That was painful to miss.... Would have had one if I'd seen it

If they discontinue the UKPK it'll be highly sought after in Europe and be treasured by anyone traveling in this part of the world.

actually I got mine from Sierra the first week of August for 39.96! Got two of the last plain edge. Glad I did! An awesome blade, best purchases of the summer. :)

I gotta throw the Manix in the mix. I think this beefy folder will be in high demend one day when it has been discon'ed.
