This is a question for all you exchange forum junkies like me. Which knife did you willingly trade, sell, or otherwise get rid of (doesn't include a lost knife) that you miss the most or already replaced because you missed it so much.

For me it is my Kershaw Ram. I traded it because I was dead set on getting an axis lock knife and assumed the Hawk Lock was just an inferior copy. Boy was I wrong, nothing against the axis lock but I just love that Hawk Lock. I am definitely going to have another Ram in my collection soon.
 
I sold my victorinox a couple of days ago, to a friend that needed one cheap, went fishing yesterday - took some beers and had nothing to open them with :(
thats one knife i regretted sellin :(
 
Sold my KaBar USMC to pay for college books. I can always get another one for fairly cheap, but that one was given to me by my parents who are both passed away now. I think about it every time I see a KaBar.
 
Its a toss up between a NIB Kershaw Ti/ZDP Mini Cyclone and a NIB Spydeco Gray Calypso Jr.
 
BRKT Bravo-1 and Gunny

Fallkniven F1

Spare silver Alox Vic Farmer


Oh yeah, and my SRKW Rodent Waki

That's easy. My Hinderer XM-18. It was gen 2 when Rick was still doing everything by hand. It had blue/black G10 and a flipper. Man I'm stupid.
 
I've sold a of knives that "hurt" to sell, but honestly there's none that I'm really regretting selling and wish I had back so badly to buy another.

The only time I got "burned" was trading a BM 806 D2 AFCK for a 705-401. It was a fair trade at the time, but only for a few weeks. Shortly after the AFCK was discontinued and the value practically doubled overnight. Ended up selling the 705 for about a third of what AFCKs were selling for.
 
Honestly, i would have to say the black handled mora tri-flex. I can't find another one in black and I honestly have to say that was one of my favorite knives.
 
I had a nice Chris English "Z" auto with a ladder-damascus blade and presentation pearl handles that I traded for a Protech Magic, Dozier White River Skinner and a Benchmade Almite Walker lock. I got my money out of it, but I still hurt a little when I remember that beauty.

I traded a Bechmade 635, a Kershaw Ti/ZDP Leek, and a Spyderco Native S30V for a Kopa gold-lip pearl that I promptly lost. Miss the Ti/ZDP Leek. Recently bought another Kopa gold lip pearl, though.;)

Had a Benchmade 850 pearl "rec.knives" limited edition that I traded for a Microtech LCC D/A 2nd gen. Still have the LCC and wouldn't trade back, but really miss that 850 P.
 
Easy, it was the Buck/Strider SBMF that I sold on eBay because I though it was too big. I missed it before I even shipped it out.
 
Spyderco Viele 2. I thought I would stick to just clipped IWB but come to find I quite miss that knife, and would love to have it back clipless in pocket. :/
 
Got burned when I was still new to knife collecting - kinda randomly got a Spyderco 440V Lil' Temperance Leaf Blade PE and traded up for something "cooler" and "smaller".

Boy was I stupid.
 
For me it was the spyderco Leafstorm, it wasn't all bad though because i got a Sage II for it and that became my favorite knife since, however i still missed the Leafstorm because of it's convenient size, it's uniqueness, and the thick blade. Luckily i received another not long ago in a trade. I also have to say i really miss my Fallkniven F1's and my Buck Mayo Kaala.
 
The knife that I wish I still had?...My REKAT Sifu...Or at-least one of the four of 'em that I had.
 
Alias I prototype, prolly 1 of 25 made...traded for like six knives but regret it still sometimes.
 
My Scrap Yard Dumpster Mutt DC. Even though the handle was a little square and I couldnt choke up on it without a cornet pokin in my hand, I really miss that knife.
