Hi, guys. Just wondered what knives you wish you HAD bought. I have 4 on my wish list, all of which to the best of my knowledge are no longer made.

1. Robert Parrish Survival Knife or the smaller model Sun King?(I think!)

2. Buck Buckmaster Survival knife (I liked the NON-hollow handle version)

3. AG Russell Sting1A Black chrome

4. Cold Steel Urban Shiv
 
I had a chance to purchase a Cobre from Phil B at a show a few years back, but was out of cash by the time I got to his table :(
 
Spyderco bob lum fixed blade. Had an opportunity to buy one for lik 60 dollars at chesapeake knife and tool while it was on sale......but didnt. Just a nice blade that I didnt pick up for a nice price
 
I regret not buying the Cold Steel Ozark Hunter, but I have found the Queen Mountain Man, which I will be getting in December, and is of much better quality than the CS. Good luck for me that the Ozark Hunter was discontinued. That's the reason I joined here, looking for an Ozark Hunter.
 
Blackjack sub-hilt. Man, those things were soooo expensive, like $100. I'm a dumb-ass sometimes...

Spyderco carbon fiber Michael Walker and Ti Peter Herbst. Also, Chris Reeve Umfaan.
 
I wished I had never discovered booze in my younger years and spent all that cash on Case, Old Timer, and Uncle Henry knives. That collection would be bearing some dividends today. Nothing to show for the party days except some fuzzy memories, a few scars, and some dumb stories nobody wants to listen to anymore.
 
I have no regrets! I've only been buying knives for a few years so I never had the chance to buy a $23 Randall or a $10 gold-plated Buck 110.
 
I wish I got one of the Schrade D'Holder collaborations with BG42 alloy blade when they came out. Very nice, and very nice for the money.
 
Beck Tracker- that was the knife (in the first edition of Tactical Knives) that got my interest in knives going hard core. It was also the knife that let me find out what custom knives are. I still hope to own one someday (ahh Dreams!):p
 
Walter Brend modle 2 for $900. :(

2003 BAKCA, Could've bought a Lochsa for the list price right off of Scott Cook's table, but passed because I wanted a smaller Mnandi. Should've gotten the Lochsa first. I don't like to talk about it. :(

I was about to order one (for heavy use) after a while of 'thinking about it,' then I check his site to see he had stopped making them.

Spyderco Rookie
Put off buying this one for a time while I bought other knives. And then there were none.

Spyderco Harpy PE version.
Had a few chances years ago to get a few (for about 60.00<--not a typo). Again, had other knives on the want list. I never thought they'd be like hen's teeth now.
