Disco'd knives you regret selling?

Benchmade Gold Class Foray 698-181
Victorinox Hunter Pro Alox Damast

Also similarly regret not buying the Benchmade Gold Class Mini Crooked River...
 
There is one in every crowd, I do not have any disco knives that I regret getting rid of, they sort of went out with the hustle and the shiny rotating disco balls. Mine may have had a few tassels and sequins. 😁

I don't remember buying any knives in the 70's from The Bee Gees or during a Saturday night fever. But maybe I got one from Vinny Babarino.
 
I've never sold any of my knives into steel slavery, but I've given a bunch away and have no regrets about doing that. I do regret losing my first pocket knife (due to military kit failure on a webbing strap), but I've more than made up for that loss with purchases since then.
 
Benchmade Subrosa
Syderco Native LW S90V - not sure if disco'd
ZT 566 - not sure if disco'd

Several GEC's that are old runs that are difficult to replace.

Wow! Numbers 1 through 7 are on my list too. I'll also add

Camillus ? All titanium with a big D2 blade. It was bigger than the "Dominator" line of knives but I can't recall the name

Spyderco millie in CPM M4

Ontario "Signature" knife with a 6 inch .33 thick S7 blade. I had a bunch of offers after I sold it but wish I kept it even though it had the ergos of a railroad spike.

SOG Tigershark in SK5

There were definitely more
 
I sold off a Spyderco multi tool, a Spyder-Wrench, a few years ago for $300. Might have kept it.

More to the point: I wish I'd have bought multiples of the Camillus Cuda Maxx at $125, when they were introduced in 2001. Since then, they have appreciated around 10x to over a grand each.

Same for any of the CRK one piece line, and a couple models of the Schrade one piece line.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have taken out a loan.
 
My biggest regret was selling the biggest Spyderco knife, the one that should be the police model in my humble opinion.

 
Ka-Bar 2751. I was a kid working at True Value hardware and bought it from the display case. It was a cool knife, but wouldn't stay in the sheath because of the poor clasp design. I'm on the hunt now just for nostalgia, but I'm looking for a good price as they are not worth to me what people are selling them for.

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.

Yup....sold a bronze les George talos mefp in xhp. Really wish I didnt do that. It was the best thumb stud folder I've ever handled. Miss it. Really like that blade shape.
 
2 x becker bk-5 camp magnums, not sold but gifted to friends. Blackjack Annaconda bowie, bought in 1995, gifted it a few years later.
 
Here is one I really, really regret having sold several years ago and have always wanted it back............Warenski_090226A-ww.jpg
 
Ahhh yes, the one that got away…

I bought a Benchmade AFCK in the winter of 96. Carried it a bit, put a nice scratch in my wife’s car door with the clip, and then sold it. After many years I still miss it.
 
I'm generally of the "never look back" mindset when it comes to things like this. It's just stuff, and for the most part I'm happy to have experienced owning something and letting it move on while I experience another. That being said, there is one that comes to mind, and it seems to be one that many of us have in common. The Benchmade 710. Such a simply elegant knife, in a way that I didn't appreciate at the time. I'd love to have one now and throw some custom scales on it, perhaps with holes to match the liners.

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

My first nicer knife back in the day, and still my favorite Benchmade of all time. I think these were made before somebody got the memo that Hk was to be more of a budget line (a marketing move that never made sense to me anyway, given their place in the firearms market). Still to this day it is one of the smoothest open and shut AXIS locks I have ever experienced (you can just hold it horizontally and depress the lock without wrist action). I've tried and tried over the years and I've yet to find another Benchmade that lives up to it. Luckily I still have my original one, and a fresh one I picked up along the way ;)
