I think most of us have experienced the honeymoon phase of a new knife. What knife have you not carried for awhile that you fell in love with all over again?

I tend to have this experience with most of my keepers. I don't use one for a bit and whenever I do come back to it, I remember why I like it so much. I'm currently in this phase with my Buck Marksman. Mostly because I sanded down the jimping on the strap lock, and now it doesn't tear up my fingers as much.
 
Hey BB!!
This happens so much to me! The ones that it really hits home with??
Benchmade 940 or 943. I don't carry one of them for a while and as soon as I pick one up....that feeling comes over me all over again!! Such an amazing design!
Spydie Para 2 or Millie. The action on either gets me every time!
Any of my Pro Techs. Best autos I have used!
Guardian Tactical Helix Nano. If you haven't flipped one, you're missing out!!
CRK! Got my first one a couple months ago and WOW!!

After not having one of these in my pocket for a month or 2, the honeymoon starts all over again with any one of them!!
I have a bunch I will NEVER sell!!
Joe

PS...good idea for a thread BB!!
 
Joe...the 940 has done it to me over and over again. I actually wasn't immediately in love with it when I bought it. Tuned the pivot a bit and wow!
 
A few of my regularly occurring second honeymooners include:

Hinderer XM18 3" Slicer
Large Sebenza 21, Micarta Inlays, Polished Blade
Zero Tolerance 0562 CF
Spyderco Slysz Bowie
Giant Mouse GM2
 
Benchmade mini grip and Griptialian D2. Also CPK EDC. And ZT 0562.
 
Spyderco Caly 3.

I don't carry it very often. But when I pick it up again it always wows me.
 
My Rookie was being overshadowed by the BM707 (great small folder) for a little while, but it quickly reminded me who was still daddy's favorite small :)
