Benchmade's you've sold only to buy again?

Lots and lots of Griptilians in every flavor. Bought a few more Ritter's before they dry up.

940 variants. Bought quite a few and sold quite a few. Still have three currently.
 
162. To my credit, the second one is the Limited Edition version with the colors of my alma mater.
 
Those Ti scales are great, and the matching clip an added bonus. I'll keep my Alias knives, but what a change a scale swap out can do! :thumbsup:
 
Five or 6 large grips. Don't currently own one.
2 Adamas. Don't currently own one.
3 710s. Dont currently own one.


Only one I rebought and will never sell is the 860 bedlam.

I'm the same way with the Grip. One is actually supposed to be delivered today. :D
Never owned an Adamas. Just too overbuilt for me but a great design for those looking for that.
I have a love/hate relationship with the 710. I love everything about the knife but I hate the recurve and I wouldn't mind it in a different steel. D2 just isn't my thing for an EDC.

I believe I bought a 20cv grip from you in fact :D
I've had the 710 in D2, M4, and ATS-34. Regret selling the M4 a bit. It had custom scales and I just found it too pretty to use so I never carried it.

That's what I have en route. :)
That knife carries really well in khakis for work but still gives me over 3 inches in blade length and doesn't look uber tactical.

I'd like the 710 in a modern stainless with no recurve. It would just about be my ideal every day carry.
 
I just bought a 20CV/G10 550 - had previously had, and sold, a 154cm 550 and also large Ritter in M390. I had a pair of AWT scales that the Ritter used to wear, but I like the factory G10 so much that I'm going to keep this one stock! Fit and finish on my specimen is near-perfect. It's taken a couple days to break in the lock-stick, but the action is at the point of free-dropping with just a hint of blade play when forced hard. I think this one'll be a keeper -- I really didn't think I was going to be as impressed with it as I am!
 
S30V Mini Ritter. Carried it daily for a couple of years. Sold it and then got the M390 version when they were discontinued.
 
Mini Ritters, 705/707, 940, 585, 484, 635, 530 I'm sure there were more. Mostly regular production models thankfully.

I have had over 10 Grips I'm sure and sold all but a blacked out CM154 that I have used for 8 years, and it's pretty beat up, but it has black liners and the axis is black. It was one that someone "frankenized" and resold it.

I also got a 550bk-1 with the 20cv a couple of months ago and love it. BM hit a home run with it. Mine is just how you described yours. Perfect

I do wish someone would sprint run one in M4, s110V, or a carpenter steal and NOT, I repeat NOT with a drop point blade!!!
 
Stupid Griptilians. It was so easy to buy every model when they first came out. $40 for the minis and $50ish for the large. My favorite being the 550 with an oval hole opener and 440C blade.
 
There's nothing wrong with 440C steel. There was a reason so many custom makers used it back in the early days. The 550 remains a good knife to have.
 
A few of the 73x Ares. It was pretty stupid lol. Once I sold the one i had, i bought two or three more over the next two years.
 
For me add the Presidio II to the list. Had one and loved it but got my eye on another Benchmade and sold it. I just bought another this morning.
 
put me down for 2 more mini grips, totaling 3. I still want a D2 mini though.
