What knife are you the saddest you ever sold?

Chris Reeve 21 with mammoth bark ivory inlays .
Still hurts to this day when I think about it :(
 
a Les Voorhies Stellite 6K folder. Really miss using that knife!!
 
Not sad but, maybe mild regret. It was my Microtech Terzuola ATCF machine ground with Ivory Micarta scales. It was the all around finest automatic knife I ever owned.

That's a good healthy attitude regarding knives and other "stuff". I have a lot of clutter... boxes of knives and they never get used. I have a couple that I use all the time, like everyday. So, why do I resist selling stuff I will likely never use and it's only gathering dust? (Gathering dust is a figure of speech as no dust gets on them.) I don't know other than I'm lazy about such things. The problem is that I keep adding to the pile when I know full well the new knife at best has a 50-50 chance of being used.

:cool: I have a good "unhealthy" attitude : I wouldn't have bought the dang thing if I didn't want it. I enjoying things I don't use much. They are part of who I am and I'm not changing.:cool:

= 'rimfire . . . enjoy yourself which ever way you lean :) :thumbsup:

PS: ohp . . . there is even a little dust there . . . call in the SWAT team and the HAZMAT and the men with the pretty white coat.

They're just knives. I do regret selling my soul though. It was custom.

But you gained the whole world . . . right ? Hey somebody's got to run it.
I just know you will do better than the shmucks that are going through the motions right now.
 
Sold my 0300 thinking I'd get a different version still don't have a 303 or 301 shouldn't have sold the first one
 
Sell Knife? What is this thing one speaks of?

I gave a few a way I would of liked to kept, but I know they needed them more than I do/did. But then I don't get super high end ones.
 
My Spyderco Starmate 2. Loved it but it didn’t slice. Found another and bought it from a forum member. Going to send it to TLE Sharpening for a makeover :D
 
No regrets.... Be selective with the ones you sell, but there are always more to buy, but beware....
 
I'm always sad when I sell one but then another precious catches my eye and so the cycle continues. My current user Dpx hest F will never go away though.
 
I don't ever feel sad per se about selling any knife I've ever sold. However, I DO look back through various pictures I've taken and feel regret that I've sold a few. Thankfully, nothing custom, just knives that would cost more than I'd want to pay to replace them in the collection. A few:

- A matching set of a Spyderco Stretch and Dragonfly in Superblue. They were Spyderco Collector numbered and would cost a lot more than I paid (or sold them for) to get them back.
- A ZT 0801 that was custom anodized, and was one of the first ti-scale/(arguably)super-steel knives I'd owned
- A full-serrated sprint-run Manix 2 that had the grey scales, an XHP model I believe.

Thankfully, I've never sold something that would be flat out impossible to ever have again. I don't think that I ever would sell knives I own like that, for that reason. I take comfort from the fact that any knife I've sold, I could probably get another one just like it if I ever woke up one day and just decided my life was incomplete without having that knife in my hand again.
 
A clip point fixed blade from Jake Hoback. I saw it once since I sold it on a website for way more than I paid for it new. One day I will get rich and bribe him to make another.
 
My full set of Busse E-handles. Trace Rinaldi L.E.O and Sharktooth.

I miss that damn Sharktooth like crazy. I'd pay quadruple what I sold it for to get it back.
