Disco'd knives you regret selling?

Can you think of any knives you've owned & regret selling?

The only knife that I've ever regretted selling was a G&G Hawk MUDD Auto.

I don't regret the sale because I "loved" it so much but more because it's now so rare (and expensive) that I'd rather still have it than the bali of equal value (at the time) that I traded it for.

Still waiting for G&G Hawk to start making them again (as they said they might) but it's been over 2 years since they stopped making them in favor of their more expensive and I assume more profitable OTF Deadlock.

Although it was a thick, chunky knife with a compound grind, I regret selling my CKF Peaceduke. I did sell it because one of the screws had stripped and the company had no replacements. Of course I told the buyer about this and shortly afterward, CKF began including an extra of every part with each knife.
 
I only have one, but I didn't sell it and cannot in good conscience regret where it went. Long story short, I gave the first Benchmade (810 Contego) I ever bought to the guy who taught me the trade that made me enough money to afford Benchmades. He carries it to this day and insists he will give it back to me in his will so I can give it to my son. I sharpen it for him when he abuses it and he playfully jokes that he opens manholes with it. I miss the knife dearly, but enjoy him having it more. It satisfies my sense of respecting my teachers.
 
Looking back, I have more regrets about never having purchased knives than regrets about selling them.

The Kershaw NRG, the small version, does hit me with regret sometimes. I bought old stock and ended up selling it, and now they're impossible to find or severely marked up. My favorite flipper I think.

ZT 0500 Mudd & Spyderco Yojimbo 1 - both had exception design and hand feel.

Both knives are rare to even see for sale, never mind actually getting to purchase one.

I always wanted a Mudd. I just never got around to buying one. I saw one on the bay a while back at a ridiculous price.

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!

I had that Cali 3.5 in SB. Great knife! I'm glad I held on to the one I have in ZDP-189 laminate. Those AL Mars in the micarta were awesome knives too. I had an Eagle or a Falcon. I can't remember which one.
 
Quite a few knives have passed through my ‘collection’ but none are missed like this Microtech Terzuola ATCF.

And sorry Pro-Tech but your knife will never be this knife.
 
Just one really. Kershaw Junkyard Dog 2. It had the composite D2 blade and 14C28. Great knife to go along with one of the worlds worst pocket clips.

Chris Reeve Project II that I bought new in Amsterdam in 2001. The only knife I ever sold. I am in the market for an "old stock" NIB...
