Just went looking through my photobucket and found this wayyyy at the bottom.

Post an old pic if you've got them!

This is about 3 years ago. Don't own many of these anymore. Neat to have a snapshot of my collection of the past.

Nice lot.
Out of the ones you don't have anymore, which would you re-buy tonight given the free funds?
 
Good question. I was actually just having a similar thought. Looking back I wish I would have kept the spidies. I only have the caly out of all of the Spydercos.

Also wish I kept the Zann.

To properly answer your question, if I had some extra funds kicking around I would buy another ummnumzann and a pm2.

Out of the bunch the only 3 I still have are the clay, xm-18 and the Alan Davis slipjoint.
 
These photos are probably about 10 years old. Like everybody else, I've bought and sold a lot since then.

Wow, nice bunch of blades!

Which ones do you wish you still had?

I regret the Ka-Bar.

This is my first collection pic. The only ones I still have are the Emerson, Buck, and AK bayonet. Kind of regret the 53 and Dragonfly.

 
Post reserved for a current collection pic I'll try and take tomorrow.
 
I think this first pic is from about a year and a half ago. My collection grew rather quickly after that. The last one is a few months old so some have come and gone since it. I think I remember it taking about 2 hrs to lay all those knives out and put them back up. I don't think I'll be taking any more collection pics until I get rid of quite a few.

I regret selling most of them, the Aitor Botero the most (this one below)

Corey that is awesome! I remember seeing your collection in another thread somewhere. Started growing quickly AFTER?! You must have quite the stash of blades!
 
Then


Now

Only added a couple to this since then. Easy to see what stayed and what didn't. I'm beginning to find out what I really like so have slowed down on turnover rates.

A fellow Aggie I see.

I like the Nirk Tighe. Real or CRKT?

I meant quickly after the first pic haha. Those are just pics of my Benchmades though. I think at my highest point I had about 250 BM and about 50 of various other brands. I've managed to get rid of about 40 so far, but I've still got a long way to go to get down to my 50ish goal. It doesn't help that cool new knives are steadily coming out.

referring to my photos in post #5...
By quick count I've sold about 17 of the ones in the photo, and bought a lot more than that to replace them.
The only one I really miss would be the Dozier Personal, with orange scales near the top in the second photo.

It's a CRKT version, not the custom :(.
And to be honest, I went to A&M in Kingsville, so I'm a Javelina, not an Aggie. But both my parents are Aggies, and Kingsville is still apart of the A&M system. Hence the watch! Thanks for noticing :thumbup:.


The only knives I regret really didn't end up in any collection photos. You can find my post in the Regret thread that happened recently. Ones I miss in the old photo. The RED BLUR and the Warn Tanto Barrage. I liked those knives and should have kept them.
