What knives do you wish you bought when you had the chance ?
For me its been
Spyderco Para-military in Cpm D2
Spyderco Endura 3rd generation
Kershaw Shallot S110V
Kershaw Blur S60V
Chris Reeves Regular Sebenza
Benchmade 710 154CM
Benchmade AFCK Axis lock
 
BM 770-BC1. I went with the 710HS instead, though, so it's not all bad.
 
Kershaw Starkey Ridge. Now they're few and far between on ebay, so there's still a chance to get one.
 
The original Paul Knife

Guttmann Explorer Swing Lock

Original Probis contracted Buck Titanium and Buck Survival Knife

The two Original Spyderco Dive Knives with the incremental Probes in the handles.

The Spyderco Worker two knife commemorative

I'll think of more, don't worry.
 
The 70's Almar lockbacks with the beautiful ivory micarta handles. I have looked and looked and only found a single one at a show that was in terrible shape. I wish they made the new versions with the ivory micarta. I do have one I picked up in the late 70's but it is the folding skinner and not a practical knife to carry or use for edc.
 
Spyderco Goddard plain edge
Spyderco Yojimbo
Spyderco Massad Ayoob
Kershaw Leek with titanium handeles
 
Original damascus steel blades from the 1st millennium A.D. I'm hoping they do a sprint run sometime soon.
 
A 3.5" XM-18 that was here on the forums a few months ago for a good price. It was when I had money to burn and I ended up going for a CRK Umnumzaan. The Umnumzaan was a great knife, but I wish I had gone for the XM-18 since they are more rare and can't just be ordered and delivered as quickly as a CRK.
 
Also missed the D2 Paramilitary. Thought it would be around forever, and now it is gone forever.
 
I really, really wish I'd picked up a couple AFCKs when I had the chance. They used to be all over the place, but were a bit more than I could afford at the time. I also came *this* close to buying a titanium-bladed Benchmade CQC-7 back in the day. It was ridiculously expensive- $300 or so IIRC, so I passed. Now, I sure wish I had that knife- that thing was COOL.
