That is a serious blade, J2000E. And that wood is beautiful. :o Impressive with the 25 years. The steel looks completely new to me. :sa:

Well, now that I'm back to browsing this thread, I can say that I know which fixed blade I'd keep: the Izula II. A full-tang blade of 1095 gives it the win. Again, my assumption is that kitchen cutlery is excluded, but most of that could go.

The Opinel I'd keep above all others would be a No. 8 with a walnut handle and carbon steel blade. But that's a moot point.

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

Thanks! I do like to keep it in shape (and do not use it for digging...)

Right at the moment I think I would go with the following three little piglets:

MT: Swiss Grip
Folder: Cowboy
Fixie: Mora 120

Those three would definitely fill my needs.

If I could only keep one, I'd probably go with the Work Champ with my trusted old Huntsman as a close runner-up.
