I'd have to track down another CRK Large Insingo CF BladeHQ exclusive, another 0562CF, and probably another Ratmandu. Luckily, I own few knives that are irreplaceable. There are folks here with vast collections of customs, I think they'd prooooobably throw a rope over the hanging rod in the closet.
This is when adding your expensive customs to your homeowner's insurance schedule comes into play.
1. CRKT M16-02
2. Benchmade Griptilian
3. Jury is still out on a fixed blade. Maybe a Benchmade #162
The M16-02 is a knife that I carried for years while in the service. Not the greatest knife, but I am used to it. A SAK would be better, IMHO, but the 16's blade is easier to deploy.
I am not real crazy about the Griptilian but I find the one I own gets carried more than anything else I own. Bought it second hand for about $20. I think I did OK.
