Time-Waster question - Like it, but wouldn't replace it

My Helle Futura is a nice knife aesthetically and functionally. It also has a handle that can't be beat for comfort. However, if something happened to it, I'd replace it with some other Scandi knife instead.

In fact, most of my knives if lost would be replaced with something different, just for the sake of variety. I can think of only a couple that I'd replace with the exact same thing.
 
For me it would be easier to say which ones I'd replace. My izzy 2(I already have a backup) and my spydie military would be the only ones I replace with the exact same model. If I lost my SAK I'd probably get a different model just to try something different. PM2, Blind Horse T2, scrapyard 711 etc...I can live without them.
 
I lost my wife (now ex)....didn't replace her with a new one.....got me a hot girlfriend instead :thumbup:
 
The list of which ones I would replace is a lot shorter. But in the spirit of the original post - Kershaw Skyline. I had one, it was a great knife, very sharp blade, carried well, nothing at all wrong with it. However, it filled for me the exact same niche as my Spyderco Delica, which I prefer. So it never got any use because I'd grab the Delica first. I gave the Skyline to a friend at work to replace his very poor quality S&W branded folder, and he's very happy with it.

Also had a Kershaw Blur. I really did like everything about that knife but the black blade, I prefer steel-colored blades. It was also a bit larger of a knife than I have any use for. I ended up selling it to a friend who really likes it.

Of the knives I currently own, probably 90% of my Case knives. I like them fine but I just don't really need as many as I have and was kind of on a buying binge for a while, which I am done with.
 
Kershaw Chive in Damascus. It's a nice knife and all, but it's a tad on the small side for my tastes.
 
For me it would be my Buck 110. Its a great knife, especially for the money, but there are many that are just as tough more user friendly and lighter. I haven't even carried it once since I've owned it. I go right for something with a pocket clip and if I'm belt carrying its a fixed blade.
 
I can't think of any knives that I own that I'd replace with the exact model except maybe for my SAK farmer, or, wait for it, my cold steel pocket bushman. I guess I'm kind of fond of my composite blade junkyard dog also.
