Just wondered how many of you have ever traded/sold/gave away a knife and regretted it, or missed it and replaced it later?
I had a Puma stag handle folder that I gave a `Friend' for his birthday, and was later taken from him at a bar. And a small Rick Hinderer damacus personal knife with ivory handles that I sold to a friend, cause he liked it and I needed the money at the time....he has sinced given it away to a friend of his. The Sebenza's always seem to leave me only to be replaced by another one...gotta really keep a good grip on this one!
Regets? some, but they were all fun to have at one time or another. I can't afford to be a True Collector, so I trade/sell to get the next knife that will surely be THE ONE....
