I was asked today, out of all the knives I own how many would I actually buy again? When I actually thought about it my Answer was a bit strange. There are only two knives I would buy again, Spyderco Sage 2, and please don't give me crap for this one, but Buck Nobleman. And for fixed blade I said the ESEE 4
--Sage 2--I listed The sage 2, simply because without it I don't know what I would carry everyday, it is my ideal edc for the life I lead.
--Nobleman--Now for the seemingly out of place Nobleman. I have owned quite a few big named knives, like, Spyderco Paramilitary 2, Benchmade 940-1, Benchmade mini Griptilian and so many more. So why did none of these make my short list? Value! they are all great knives, and some of them are amazing values, but none pack the value punch of the Buck Nobleman. The Nobleman gives you all the Features of a high price knife at a price that any first time buyer can afford, or as you can afford to give away as a present. (I have given 3 of these away, the one I have in my possession know has been lent out to 4 different friends who had never carried before, all of which now carry more expensive knives than I do.) I love this little knife, and it slices like a champ.
--Esee 4 This is my favorite camping knife, and one day will be the Knife I give my son (lets hope I only have one boy). Great knife and Great sheath, takes a beating and holds a nasty edge.

Now I don't have too much cash to throw around, so what I would consider worth buying again, is different from others, but I'm still curious, What would you buy again?

Kershaw Leek and Esee 4. But I'm thinking of the question this way, "What knife would you buy again if it was somehow lost?"

Yea, when I said would you buy it again, I meant for what ever reason you could no longer have the one you have now. Or would you buy it for a friend? Or what have you.
 
All my CRK knives - Small 21, Large 21 Insingo, Umnumzaan. All the rest I could do without, and if I lost them I'd probably buy something different just to have the variety. But I couldn't live without my CRKs.
 
I have bought multiples of three knives:

Benchmade 940 (currently own 2 of the carbon fiber s90 versions)
Small sebenza (currently have 13 various versions)
Queen canoe (currently own 2)

Out of my collection, these are the only knives I would replace with the same if lost. (That's why I have multiples!)
 
Benchmade 275(have 2) 556(have 2)5000(have the smaller verison 5500 too), 300, any of the "Grip" family, Zt 0700, BK9 and 24,Kabar 1152, Leatherman Sidekick or wingman, probably spyderco delica, those are mostly everything i'd like to have doubles and triples as of right now of i think.
 
13 Small Sebenzas? WOW! Im Still waiting on my first.... lol!
Im thinking This thread might start a spin-off "what knife will you pass down to your kids"
 
Funny how I ran into this thread right after purchasing another Dragonfly2 G10, I can't get enough of it, I'm buying as many as I can before they stop making them

I would do the same eventually, I just don't have many knives so the few I do have are pretty sentimental. Spent a lot of time before buying each one, etc.

I think a problem for me will be that I don't like having multiple knives for the same purpose. So my new buys will be different shapes and sizes, losing one would leave me to search for another dedicated or buy the same one.
 
If I could buy them for what I paid when they were new, BM AFCK,Spyderco Worker, Spyderco Terzuola, (the first Spyderco collaboration knife) Woods Irie/PCC Swinglock and EK Model 5 Combat Bowie.

On the more modern side, Case Swayback Jack, Sebenza, Lg Cold Steel Twistmaster, all the BFC Traditional's forum knives, the Case Sodbuster, Bk2, Dozier Arkansas Toothpick, Izula and SAK Farmer.

Of all the knives I own, the number i wouldn't buy again is significantly less than the ones I would. I have an attachment to all of them, just some more than others. ZT 0550 and Spydie Native 5 would be the two I would buy again first.

Absolutely!!!

As for me - I do so much research on a knife before I buy that I would buy darned near everything I have bought once again. It's just that tastes change with time and sometimes I just need money.

There are some I would and have bought multiples of!
 
Spyderco Delica, SAK Tinker, BK 16, Bark River Aurora, Bark River Ultra light Bushcrafter, Bradford Guardian 3, Mora, Opinel
