Knife you would buy again?

I'd buy it again because I sold this one (for some stupid reason) - BRKT Mini-NorthStar in birdseye maple w/ mosaic pins:



I should have kept this one...
 
This is the First buck Nobleman that I purchased. I have Bought 3 more, But this is my First and special one. The face carbon fiber pattern was chipping away, so I took It all off, stone washed the handle, then Blue'd it. the blueing turned out purple, I'm guessing because of the alloy. The handle scales are Purple/copper and the hardware and blade is a great matte grey color. It was hard to capture the true colors but You can see hints in a few Pictures.

BEFORE!



AFTER!(my best pic of color is to big of a file to upload)

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

This is how I approach the question as well. I like these kind of thought experiments. Except for a few Enduras and Glock 19s, I don't generally buy or maintain identical backups. Last year, I had to put most of my stuff in storage -- including my knives and guns -- and move overseas for work. I miss my EDC guns, but it was an interesting opportunity to pick a few knives to come with me. This helped me define what my "key users" are. If these knives were to be lost or stolen, I would immediately replace them with the identical model (in this order if funds were limited):

1. CF Caly 3
2. FFG Endura 4 (have blue, like orange, but not picky about color)
3. Dragonfly 2 Salt
4. Swamp Rat Swamp Warden
5. Imacasa 14" Pata de Cuche machete
6. Matriarch 2 Wave

Funny, but I would probably not immediately replace my Izula or Para 2 if I lost them. I like them, and understand why they are classics, but am taking while to warm up to them as must-haves.
 
I have two in my collection that I would repurchase immediately if they were lost. The Gerber LST and the Benchmade 851.
 
Benchmade Griptilian. I hate say it because I really don't like knife but it's just works so well.


Kershaw Zing. US made, orange handle. Love that knife.
 
One can never have too many Spydie Delicas but I'd buy another ESEE 3 too just to hold onto. My current ESEE/RAT rc3 is so beat I'm concerned I won't be able to replace it in another 10-15 years when it wears out, though it hasn't been getting near as much use anymore so who knows. Darn good knife.
 
Microtech SOCOM Elite...got a great deal on one last summer at a gun and knife show and sold it for a small profit a while later. Wish I could have it back now because it's such a great knife and as a bonus they're worth much more now than what I sold it for...
 
Sebenza 25 times 4
Small Sebenza times 10 in different variations
Sebenza 21 times 10 in different variations
Strider SnG times 6 in different color/ blade finish
Strider SMF times 4 in different color/ blade finish
ZT550 times 4
Yeah, I'd buy the same knife again :)
 
This is a great thread. It's really causing me to think. If I lose a particular knife, will I replace it with another knife that fills the same role, or will I feel compelled to replace it with the same knife? These are the only knives I have, that I would replace with the exact same knife.

1. Cold Steel Recon 1
2. Cold Steel Voyager
3. Vic SAK (I have to have at least one)
4. KA-BAR USMC
5. KA-BAR Becker BK-7 (I've bought three, so I must like it)
6. Mora (again, I have to have at least one)
 
Benchmade 707-1201
Benchmade 940-1
Benchmade Ritter mini-griptilian
Benchmade 531
WAS Shark/Cuda
Fiddleback Bushfinger
 
My BM 710, Fallkniven A2, CS Trail Master San Mai 3, Spartan Blades Defensa in S35VN....oh! and my Spyderco Stretch in VG-10.
