Everyone has one, and some more than a few, but if you could get ONE back, which one would it be?

Mine is the small 21 Lignum Sebenza below. I let some beautiful knives go, but the one below is the one I most wish I had back.

I know that you asked for one...but I regret having turned over nearly all of these. The only one that I still own, and is in my pocket, is the Zaan at 12 noon. That Sng with camo blade, at 7 o'clock, was a great knife; went to one of my sons. It is about the "prettiest" one that I've owned, although nothing (in my eyes) beats a large Sebenza with box-elder scales. I've had a few of the CRK box-elders and other Sebbies with wood inlays, but I've never carried one as they are too pretty.
That large Classic Sebenza up there around ten o'clock or so is the smoothest I've ever had. With just plain slab-sided titanium and plenty of spider-trails...that's the knife I wish I still had. Smooth counts!

It's not a great knife, but since I can't get one anymore I miss it.

I do not have a picture handy, but my biggest regret is a bark mammoth Mnandi with stainless Damascus for the blade. I also had a matching small Sebenza. Two beautiful works of art.
 
I'm considering selling my Strider SnG. I know I'll regret it, but I need the money. Its my favorite knife. I lost my Gayle Bradley Spyderco and am devastated. There are other things I want and bills to pay.
 
I had a Chris English "Z" auto with integral titanium frame and beautiful mother-of-pearl slabs with a ladder-damascus blade that I wish I had kept.

I traded a Kershaw Ti-ZDP Leek and a Benchmade Mini-Skirmish for one knife that I promptly lost. That majorly sucked...

The problem with this approach is that selling a knife doesn't have much impact except maybe pay the electric bill. This is why when I buy a knife or firearm, I consider it money flushed. 10 or 15 good knives could be a different story. Own a Bill Moran knife and you might get 20K for it.
 
Got to admit it, I let a Gerber Mk II go. I had carried it overseas and gave it to a guy who was coming in. Hope it saved his life.
 
I don't have a pic, but I dearly regret letting go of a Trace Rinaldi Sharktooth. Ivory micarta scales, tanto blade and one of the most ergonomic handles I have ever used. *sigh*

I did triple my money, but still *sigh*.
 
I posted about this before, the black and blue PM2 I made by swapping the scales from my Bento Box M390 knife with an black on black S30V knife. I still have the M390 with the black scales, but think I liked the black and blue knife better.



 
Like many here, I have several i wish I could have back. But I'll stick with the original question and choose one...ZT 0560BW. I don't regret the trade cause I love the knife I got for it but I do miss it and wish I still had it in my collection.
 
When I bought my first Cold Steel knife (the Espada XL G10) the dealer had a Voyager X2 on the shelf. I passed it by, not realising how hard they are to come by. That's my regret.
