What knives were so good you bought a duplicate?

Not exactly a duplicate but I liked the full sized BM/HK 14715 Axis that I just ordered the same knife in a mini.
I have duplicates of not size Griptilians as well as a 530/531 pair.
There is a Ritter full sized m390 that didn't make the photo shoot.

UPDATE: I went ahead and bought a dupe of my ZT0620. . . . . . .

It is perfectly suited to my needs, with the wave and the thumb disc, blade size/shape etc.

I thought about buying something with slightly different features; however, I am aware that I have the potential to become quite obsessive about accumulating things, and I notice that once you start it can be hard to stop.

Not that anyone around HERE has that issue. . . . . . . . . !

Sadly, I have several expensive hobbies and I am trying to avoid making blades another one. It may be too late, but I think I can stop.

I quit smoking lots of times! So it can't be that hard.
 
Four Spyderco Delicas here: ATS55 hollow grind, VG10 saber grind, VG10 full flat and my latest acquisition the Aogami Super Blue.

CHris Reeve Sebenza
 
Spyderco Endura 4

Trying to buy a Spyderco Native 5 I have a feeling I am going to love this one if I ever get one, I have one back ordered for a month now from a dealer
 
ZT0550: Gen 1, Gen 2 (Black version), and 0551...odds are pretty good that I will grab the BW if I come across it at a reasonable price.
Kershaw Shallot (reg & black)
Spyderco Manix2 (M4, CTS-BD30P, and CruWear)

Jumping into fixed blades
Becker BK15, BK16, and BK12
SwampRat Ratmandu (I think I have 8 of those in various forms)
MBB M4
 
Maybe this is just me, but I dont see the point of buying a duplicate of a knife. Someone please tell me why. There are just so many knives out there why spend money on two of the same ones. I can see if the knife is getting discontinued, but besides that??
