Knives You Won’t Sell

[2edgesword]

I own too many at this point, but I could see saying there are different categories of folding knives I would not sell or give away, all time favorites, nostalgic ones, practical edc ones.
So for this post here are these three favorites I will never part with

Is this a one of a kind customer knife? It's a beauty. It puts me on the verge of breaking my rule of not buying another knife .

 

[Alone]

My Dad's second-to-last "4-dot" Buck 110, complete with broken/reprofiled tip...







...and my little TOPS 107E, that I've beaten the snot out of on more "overnighters" than I care to remember...

 

[Monofletch]

I have 2 so far. My Daughter gave me this Kershaw Natrix (engraved) and I have my Army issued Leatherman Supertool 300 that is with me every day.

 

[DMG]

I have knives my grandfather and father gave me that will go to my son and nephew. All the others are just things. Not worried about them.

 

[Riz!]

For me I have one that will never be sold.

Its a Les George VECP that I used to cut my daughters umbilical cord.

Other than that I think everything I have could go if the price was right.

My Army officer step father carried an Ontario 499 USAF survival knife with him through Desert Storm and years later gave it to me. Then while I was in the Navy I was sent over for a year during the earlier phase of Enduring Freedom. Why an Army officer and an enlisted Navy guy carried an Air Force knife? I liked the leather stacked handle that fit in the leg pocket. For him it was probably cheap but decent at the PX. Either way I'm never parting with a gift that's traveled the world twice now. I'll have to dig it out for a pic later.

Edit to add:

She's missing the sharpening stone and the snap to the stone pocket is broken. Not a RTT fan but she's still a keeper.

My Buck 110 I got when I was 12 years old in 1978. It was my constant companion until the early 1990s.

 

[Quiet]

I own probably 20 or 30 knives I wouldn't sell unless I was in dire straights. However, it leaves hundreds more I need to decide what to do with sooner or later.

Ballast for burial at sea.

Easy, peasy.

 

[Larrin]

I don’t think I’ve ever sold a knife. It hasn’t really occurred to me. Sounds like a hassle even if I wanted to.

 

[badmatt]

I dont need this kind of negativity...

In your case, they can be used to get through the permafrost.

 

[A.L.]

Handful of knives that hold many good memories or were gifted to me (and therefore have whole different meaning and memories attached to them).

 

[marinedoc67]

I had a Loveless Drop Point that I said I would never sell, but last year I did, for $7,000.

 

[mitchnola]

I’ve moved a lot of knives I’ve liked knowing they’re easy to replace. It’s the ones that are hard to find that won’t be going anywhere.

OMG that CRK is gorgeous

It's not strictly an Air Force knife. I was issued one in the Navy, in 1982. Carried it for 9 years. I don't intend to sell it.

 

[Landshark99]

I have two in the nostalgia category that will not be given away or sold, they are first real knife, a Puma, I bought so many years ago because all the people around me bought Bucks

And the knife that really started my collecting

 

[JTR357]

My avatar knife obviously. Also, I've had CRK's & Busses in the past & sold them. That won't be happening again because I've always regretted it.
My late wife's knives I got her will be with me until the day I die. A few cheap knives my grandkids got me. Anything that holds sentimental value like that.
Also, I recently acquired a sweet SNG. I had one years ago & sold it. I've missed it ever since. This one I wouldn't sell if someone offered me 3x's the price I paid for it. I realize the maker is despised by many but it's one of my favorite knives ever.

This knife. It’s so smooth and perfectly perfect. Sorry Sharp & Fiery
