What 3 knives would you get first after losing your whole knife collection?

Probably a Victorinox Recruit, since it was my first SAK. A Mora Classic so that I'd have a decent fixed blade and then some sort of modern folder. Probably some ~$20 kershaw but I'm not sure which one. All pretty good quality but cheap enough that I could get them right away and save up for the more expensive stuff.
 
I would get a SAK climber. Then I would probably put myself on probation for at least 3 months, probably 6. After that length of time, I'd really know what I missed.

I would seriously consider stopping at the SAK and not getting back into all of this again. While it would be terrible to lose them all, I can also see a certain sense of relief also, as funny as that sounds.
 
I'd be devastated, but I'd have to go with:

SAK Alox Farmer,
Spyderco ParaMilitaryII,
Becker BK16.
Really nothing I can't do with those.
 
Vic SAK Adventurer model
Spyderco Delica
GEC Missouri Trapper #42 (two blade).

Then I might think about a fixed blade.... probably the Kabar Becker BK-16 or Dozier Professional Guides knife.
Machete.... Condor Pack Golok.

Since the OP said multitools aren't included in the tragic loss, I'd take these three (assuming customs are out of the question):

-Fallkniven F1
-Spyderco Military
-A.G. Russell Premium Scout or, since the Premium Scout is out of production, a Case Humpback Whittler (in CV)

Those would cover all my needs. The Military is light enough to EDC even in my thinnest pants, the F1 is good enough for ranch work and playing outdoors, and a nice slipjoint is always good to have for delicate cutting tasks or those times when carrying something larger (or locking) is not legally an option.
 
I would take it as a "redo".
Id get my 0200 again, and then get a CRK Small Sebenza 21 and a GEC something.
 
One knife i would get back immediately is my Benchmade adamas. Now that i got it hair popping sharp it is my favorite possession.]

Both Large and Small Sebenza Insingo's and a Nyala.
I'd make number 4 a Tanto Umnumzaan with the original pivot.
Yes, I know, I have a CRK addiction.
 
I would replace my current EDC's with the same, and then get a 4.1 to cover my outdoor activities.

SAK Alox Cadet
PM2
GSO 4.1

.
 
1. Ritter mini-grip
2. Spyderco Military
3. 940 or Techno (to close to call).
 
I could easily get by with...

1. Spyderco Delica (I'd pick this over the CRKs, Benchmades, Al Mars and others I own because it does everything I think a folder should--great value)
2. Wenger Evo 16 (everything I need, nothing I don't)
3. Becker BK2 (with one fixed blade, it should be capable of anything)
 
Three small Sebenzas. I'd carry one and keep the other two in a lock box, in case I lost the one I was carrying.
