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

I think i'd go with these,
Benchmade 707, ESEE Izula, GEC #71 Bullnose (Or maybe Spyderco of some sort)
 
LionSteel SR2 Ti Violet
LionSteel M3 micarta handle

Victorinox Cybertool (I'm a Network Admin and I never leave home without it. It has covered every HW replacement chore I have come across.)
 
1) Fallkniven F1 (olive wood handles)
2) manix 2 or ss delica
3) SAK Cadet

fiskars axe, cs kukri, tramontina or chispas machete and a handfull of other lovely knives later
 
Victorinox Alox Cadet
Victorinox Classic SD
Benchmade Mini-Grip 555HG

Not necessarily my three favorites, but those are the three I use the most.
 
I'm surprised to see how many folks just chose folders. Interesting.
As for me:
Mission Knives MFK folder (or Camillus demo knife)
Spyderco Perrin Street Beat (or Street Bowie)
Becker Machax (or Becker BK-2)
just had to give a few alternates....
 
At my age I doubt I would start collecting again and wouldn't spend the money foolishly on high end knives like I did before that really didn't cut or handle any better than the less expensive ones.
Mercator black cat
Buck 307 large stockman (if I could find a new one still around)
Marttiini full tang fixed blade w/sheath
Total cost under $150
 
Benchmade 556
Spyderco native frn
Spyderco dragonfly H1
Yes, first 3 all folders. Fixies just aren't practical where i live.
 
Small Sebenza with some kind of inlay
PM2 m390 or s90v
Survive gso 7/7

For the record I own none if these but I am confident they would cover my knife needs until I could buy more.
 
Hinderer xm-18 3.5 inch
Bark River Bravo 3v
Then...busse or second hinderer.
