Disco'd knives you regret selling?

[JTR357]

Can you think of any knives you've owned & regret selling? Here are a few of mine. I guess it's possible to find some of these, but the markups are ridiculous & out of my range. What are some of yours you regret letting go?

1. Spyderco Kris
2. Spyderco Chinook 3 & 4
3. Benchmade 710
4. Benchmade Rukus
5. Spyderco Persian C83BM
6. Kershaw Blur SG2
7. Kershaw Leek Ti/ZDP189
8. Busse ASH with satin finish (probably my biggest regret)

Carothers field knife version 1 and their HDFK

That's a beautiful Busse.

My biggest regret was selling my Spyderco Southard.

Siiiiiiiiigh , where do I begin?

-BM 710
-BM 707 Sequel
-BM Subrosa
-BM-HK 14255 Tanto
-Spyderco Nirvana
-Spyderco Military S90V/Ti/CF
-Spyderco Military 204P
-Spyderco Ti Military (fluted and plain)
-Large Sebenza “Circuits”
-TOPS Tex Creek CPM154/red&black CF

Now that I depressed myself , I think I’ll go try to fill the void with buying more knives. Back soon.

Ughhh. Regrets, I’ve got a few. OP - some of my list matches some of yours.

Spyderco Chinook
Benchmade 710
Benchmade Rukus
Benchmade Skirmish
Trace Rinaldi Sharktooth (that one still hurts)
Trace Rinaldi LEO (that one does too)
Livesay Air Assault and ICU
Swamp Rat Rucki
And a full set of Busse e handles

I’m sure there are more. That’s just what I could remember off top.

Many, but the first one that comes to mind and probably #1 is my Chris Reeve Aviator

There's another one for me. I absolutely loved the BM HK Snody designs

I loved how SOLID the Chinook felt in the hand. Like you could cut through a tank lol.

I can't think of many off the top of my head, but if I had to list any, it would probably be a few of the early ZT knives I used to have, and ended up selling.

Regrets, I’ve got a few.

...but then again, too few to mention...


Putting things in perspective, I love knives as much as anyone, but life is too short to include the sale of a knife in my list of regrets.

 

[PNWhovian]

CRK Shadow IV, Project I, Aviator, Large Regular Sebenza, Unnumzaan

Fehrman Last Chance

Busse Natural Outlaw

Strider EBLT SS

 

[K.O.D.]

I'm not sure so far as discontinued, but definitely have regrets about my Brian Tighe mini Tighe Rod custom. Been on the lookout for a medium for several years.

 

[G3]

First large sebenza.
3 Nihiser customs
RJ Martin Dress Havoc
Ed Caffrey wharncliffe
BM 210 Snody LE

 

[jimmi646]

Robert Parrish Survival knife - bought it cheap and sold it way too cheap.
NATO 1976 Fairbairn/Sykes knives - sold them to a dealer who held them for several years then sold them @ 500% profit.

In my case, it's live and don't learn...

 

[LimpCroissant]

Whew.. My list is long on this one...

-Emerson Gentleman Jim customized by Reese Wieland with jigged bone scales and mokume bolsters
-Kershaw Ti/composite Tyrade
-Kershaw Ti/ZDP Mini Cyclone
-Kershaw Ti/composite Volt
-Kershaw Ruby
-Various vintage Kershaws
-Benchmade Mini Rukus
-Benchmade Mini Skirmish
-CRK P model Sebenza
-CRK small Regular Sebenza
-CRK small 21
-CRK Shadow IV
-ZT Bayonet
-ZT MUDD
Edit: - A really old Trevor Burger folder that was just basic black g10, 1 blue titanium liner, and a hand rubbed blade

That's what I'll go with right now. Theres a bunch more but those ones often nag at me while I'm laying in bed .

Never liked disco. Rock on.

 

[ShannonSteelLabs]

Les George VECP from 2015.
Had a perfect detent and an odd dark earth copper color Cerakote.
The XHP heat treat was awesome too.
Bought it from him at blade show 2015.

Still kicking myself for selling it.
Might try to get another soon.

I regret selling many of the knives in the below photo:

Top row: Vintage Gerber LST in maroon micarta (still have one in natural paper micarta), Spyderco Caly 3.5 in Super Blue, Enzo Birk in green micarta, Al Mar Falcon (I think) in paper micarta, Spyderco Jess Horn LW in ZDP-189 with a regrind by REK, vintage Kershaw Macho (repurchased), an old TiKnives folder.

Bottom row: Al Mar Eagle talon in brown micarta, Spyderco Merlin (still have), Spyderco Junior with natural micarta scales and acid wash, Spyderco Zulu with brown micarta scales, Boye Knives folder (still have), and first gen Spyderco Centofante.

I could name many, many more!
