What would you buy first?

Well I figure it would be one of the knives I would miss most and one I could carry and use everyday without worries. It's also one that wouldn't be too hard to replace.

6 years ago this was my exact case, I'm actually trying to not get too worked up as I type this considering I know who did it I just can't prove it.

A friend of mine was getting ready to move into his new house and asked if I would like to move in too. I gladly accepted, he was and still is a long time friend and I wanted to be back on my own so I really didn't have any worries.

2 weeks after we moved in I had gotten off work early, stopped at the store to get a few things for dinner and continued on my way home. Everything seemed normal when I pulled up but once I reached the back gate my heart sank to my toes. The sliding door was wide open and the blinds were all torn up like a wild animal got a hold of them. My thought process may have not been the best at this time but I made the decision to search the house. I pulled what I would soon learn to be my only knife and entered the back door, the house had been flipped upside down and looked like a seen out of a movie. I quickly and quietly searched the house hoping for some poor bastid to still be there but all I found was our cat hiding up stairs visible disturbed from the days events.

I lost about 70 knives that day including a Camillus ka-bar given to me by a vet, my dads SAK he had given me and many other knives that could never be replaced or just had too high of a personal value to ever be the same if replaced.

Their was a slightly funny part to that day though, and one I won't soon forget, when giving my story to the police the officer asked to see my knife. A little worried because the Emerson CQC-8 is a intimidating blade I slowly pulled it from my pocket and handed it to the officer. Expecting a ear full of why am I carrying such a knife, his only comment was "yep, that would have done the job" while looking it over with what seemed like a bit of jealously.

They didn't take any of my sharpening stones so I guess I was lucky for at least that.

Before I just collected what I liked, now I go for quality and performance. I'm not exactly sure what my first purchase was because I bought a few but IIRC it was a EKI Commander.

Never take for granted living in a "quiet" area, keep'em locked-up and hidden, you never know when the wolf will come peering through your window.

Oh man that sucks big time. You should invest in a safe if you haven't yet. Go get some street justice.

For me: Spyderco Paramilitary
 
Something I can get quickly. I couldn't go a day without a knife. That being said, I'd probably get a Vic. Cadet, followed by a Kershaw Leek or Zing. Then I'd upgrade from there.
 
Small Sebenza preferably bg42 and a Mnandi also hopefully in BG42 plus something from Scrapyard knives.
 
Knifenut that is really bad man I feel for ya... I thought that I appreciated my knives to the fullest but this thread has got me thinking and I definately take them for granted. The expensive rare ones would be a real bummer to lose but like you said its the ones that you have an emotional connection with that would really get you down. Good thread.

I think if all my knives were stolen I would start back up again by buying a BM Grip. Its one of my favorite knives ever, its very easily replaced and pretty economical.
 
Yep, worst 2 weeks of my life, I should have seen it coming though. The week before they stole my GI OD green SA 1911 I purchased to go with the camillus. You nevey know what you have until its gone.

Good luck building up your collection again dude. ;)
 
Black Kabar fighting knife. If I could only own one...that would be it. Then Id rebuild my Spyderco, Emerson, Fehrman, and Sog collection.
 
1. I wouldn't "come home to all of my knives stolen" because I'm always going to have at least one on my person ;)

2. The Delica, no doubt.
 
a LEEK then a tenacious then a swamp rat waik to "educate" the one foolish enough to steal form Mr bacon then slowy cut his face off fry it in a pan, wear it as a mask the eat it....hmmmmm face bacon.....also id cut his hand off...im kidding of course

Since I carry at least one knife with me everyday(Morris Friction Folder and usually Delica 4 or Caly3 98% of the time, I would not be completely knifeless most likely but I would get following:

#1 Victorinox Pioneer / Soldier Alox
#2 Good fixed blade like Rat Izula
#3 I would get Busse Batlemistress or another 9-14" chopper for the SoB
#4 Then really tough folder, probably some Zero Tolerance, since 0500 is discontinued or soon will be (and changes for me get another would be very bad), I'd probably get ZT 0200
#5 I would finally get Spyderco Para-military.
 
The first knive's I purchased recently were a Spyderco Endura (Blue with Flat Grind) and a Benchmade Griptilian (Modified Sheepsfoot blade). Both of these knives appeared to be somewhat popular on the forum's. Last week I received my Bradley Kimura ll in the mail. I am new to balisong's but my initial impression regarding this knife is positive.
