What knives were so good you bought a duplicate?

For me it has to be a good inexpensive knife as I can't really afford duplicate expensive knives. I bought a few Kershaw budget blade duplicates. I'm glad I did as I recently gave a few away on the forums, to make some room.
 
ZT 0560. I bought two to have a back up then sold one, and replaced it with the 0561 to have a different colored scale.
 
A significant portion of my knives have duplicates stored away as backups. And most of those that don't, I'm seeking them out.
 
I have a philosophy that I would rather spend my money on trying a different knife instead of buying duplicates, So I only buy duplicates on rare occasions when a knife has proved that it is super reliable and worth every penny of the price or if it is a good knife I like that is discontinued or soon to be discontinued.

The only duplicates I have bought are the CS Large Voyager and Kershaw Tremor.

Vic. Soldier/Wenger SI - I own five with one more one the way.

CRKT Prowler - I own 2, purchased about six over the years.

Kershaw Zing, US version.
 
None as of now but would consider a duplicate spyderco gayle bradley. If I lost/damaged it I'd replace it immediately. If I learn they'll be discontinued I'll buy a few. It's that good

I have found Victorinox and Moras to be so cheap and useful I have duplicates of several models. I like to have spares in my boat, truck, and hunting pack.

Same here, I have many Moras and SAK's, however I have:

2 Bark River Bravo 1's
2 Buck 119's
2 Buck LiteMax Drop Point Hunters
3 SOG Seal Pups
2 SOG Seal Pup Elites
2 SOG Seal Teams
3 SOG Trident Folders
3 Imperial Schrade M7s Survival Knives (USA MADE) Iv had these 3 since I was 5 years old though. My first knives ever :).
Im sure there are more, but I don't feel like taking inventory at the moment.

With that said, I think it is good practice to buy buy at least two of the knives you Really see yourself using a lot of. Two is one, One is none. Drop one in the river, and this saying rings true lol. (or you can go swimming, which is what I would do if it wasn't 30 plus feet deep lol. )
 
I forgot one - I also have a ZT 0801 (anodized bronze and blue) and an 0801 BRWCF. I'll get a black-wash version eventually.
