I've bought and sold so many knives over the past few years that there's quite a few I miss dearly, most of them being very hard to find at the time and even harder now. Like....

Kershaw RAM
TWO! Kershaw Tilts
ZT 0500 MUDD
ZT 0600
Grimmsmo Norseman
Pohan Leu Bluephin
Pohan Leu Hamachi (custom made for me with zirc bolster, anodized blue ti hardware, zirc clip/floating backspacer as well as marble CF scale, I sold it like an idiot because I needed money)
Olamic Wayfarer
BM Mini Rukus


So yeah... I regret a lot lol. What about you?

First two I thought of when I saw the thread title. SIGH. At least I'm not alone there. I miss my Tuxedo 0600. I sold it because I couldn't carry it where I was living at the time (Denver), though, so at least I had a decent reason for that one.

I like having a rotating assortment of knives, but there are a few I should have just set aside instead of sending away. In addition to the above, I should have held on to:

ZT 0452CF (Just bought a replacement off the exchange)
Kershaw Groove
Cold Steel Triple Action
Paragon Warlock
 
That 0600 is pretty darned nice...can't believe you let 'er go. I miss her on your behalf! :)
 
I don't know.
That is I don't know what it was, and I traded rather than sold it.
It was a really slim, thin, and lightweight black synthetic handled Lockback, it had a picture of a diamond with the word " diamond " underneath it on the handle, the lockbar cutout at the very back was rectangular rather than circular, and it's ( straight non swedged clip point ) nail nick blade was mirror polished.
My dad found it like new in a box of stuff when I was around 12 , but I never used it and threw it in with a trade to a Friend as a teenager since I had no interest in carrying traditional type knives.
I have no clue where it was made or if it had any hint of quality, but it's a knife I could appreciate today and might carry here and there if it was decent.

I regret selling my Allen Elishewitz custom tanto folder. At the 1997 Blade Show I bought it from him personally. Remember driving to Atlanta to my first Blade to purchase it.

It's not a fancy knife or a collectors knife but a plain Jane mini Al Mar Sere in satin.
Didn't know how much I loved that knife until about a year or two after I sold it.

Don't really regret selling alot of them since most of that money went to buying other tools/power tools that i enjoy using and have made life alot easier. But i do miss some of them though. Off the top of my head would be my Super Blue Dragonfly 2 and my Al Mar Shiva. Those are the main two i got to tell myself not to dwell on the past about. I would like to think they made somebody else happier to have them then me.
 
None. While I really liked a few of the knives I sold they weren't THE favorite which is why they did get sold. I hope all of them are getting tons of use from their new owners. It's nice when a friend or an active forum member buys one so I can see them get so much joy from it :)
 
I miss my ZT 0900, 0630 and 0550s. Wish I could get them all back!

I also miss my Manix 2 Cru-Wear.

FML.
 
Small Sebenza
Buck 120

The rest that hold any place in my heart have been kept. Luckily.

Kicking myself hard for the Seb mistake. The 120 is quite a bit easier to procure, budget wise.. :confused:
