No Regrets......except sometimes

[David Brown]

Yeah, it was one of these right?

Yep Bottom two DANG IT

 

[squishware]

What handle material does the bottom knife in that pic have? It looks very unfamiliar.

 

[Strabs]

Traded away: Fat SFNO with Canvas Tiger Mags...I absolutely don't regret what I got in return though

Sold: SHBM

Missed: FSHLE
As many SHeLE deserts as I could imagine Two just are not enough

Some of the things on the old Variant pages...especially the MP45 handled Mean Street

the mike thourot custom that came up on the sale forum a while ago:

to my knowledge jerry hasn't ever given out a chunk of infi to another maker to make a knife out of, let alone that makers own proprietary design. Thin hollow ground edge, nicer ergo's, pointy tip. and a choil

otherwise I would have snagged it in a heart beat :thumbup:

AMAZING KNIVES!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I also woud not hesitate to buy them (especially the middle one!)

 

[Soulrack223]

My sell regret....was a DABA that I traded away.

 

[P-Easy]

Why, oh why, would you regret buying ANY SHSJ??

I think he regrets not buying one.

Assuming you were referring to my post, those were "didn't buy" regrets.

I fixed it.

Thanks. :thumbup:

I guess I might as well also add my own regret in here... I haven't been around long enough to really regret missing out on anything, but...

I do regret picking up the killa zilla. I was really excited about it, and bugged Amy-0 about every 2 minutes before the show to see if I was going to be able to buy one, and then when I got it I was all googly eyed over it...

You gotta understand, Blade 09 was the first time I held INFI, let alone owned it. The zilla was crazy impressive and blew me away and I just had to have it. I took it home and chopped with it as soon as I could.

And realized it wasn't for me. So not only did I spend WAY MORE MONEY than I had on this knife, but now I knew it was too heavy for me to make it a user, which meant I was probably going to have to sell it, and probably even at a loss. But worse yet, I signed a contract saying I wouldn't sell it for six months. So here I was, stuck with a blade that I didn't want to use any more, for fear of further degrading its resale value, but unable to sell it.


Not long after that, I got hit with a bunch of unexpected bills, and the Benjamins I paid for that killa zilla would have been nice to have.


I learned my lesson, and I think long and hard before buying an expensive, fat, heavy knife, since I'm a fan of thin blades. And, if I get a blade and I'm not sure whether it fits my needs, I don't use it right away, to give me time to think about it, rather than immediately going out and beating on it, just because I'm excited to own a new knife.





And all that said, if a CG zilla comes out, with a thinner profile and less weight, I'll probably buy it in a heartbeat :thumbup:

Not picking up Dennis's mint full Basic collection for a good price when they were on the exchange....I was so close to doing so as well....

 

[Amy-0]

I guess my biggest regret is that I did not buy more knives with the snakeskin handles when it was available......I am still kicking myself about that and I WORK AT BUSSE....I am such a idiot

 

[MustardMan]

Oh, I also regret not buying the SAR8 that was listed for $410 the other day....


you know the one I'm talking about, ya big Bully!!!

I regret not knowing about Busse back when snakeskin was readily available. Snakeskin is some sweet stuff, almost as sweet as black paper.

I also regret not buying a few ABA LE that were listed in '09. All because, at the time I thought they were expensive.

Live and learn.
