This doesn't happen to me very often. In fact, this is the first time where I've ordered a knife that I've previously owned before. I know some of you folks have done this many times before, but I tend to grow tired of designs after playing with the knife for an extended period of time.

I just ordered a Spyderco Endura Wave again. I've always loved this design. It really takes a lot for me to consider a knife that I've owned before. I keep thinking of all the other knife designs that I've never had and that usually deters me from spending my limited budget on an "old" knife. The only other knife design that I think I would reconsider again is the Benchmade Griptilian.

It's funny, I've been on these forums for 3 years now and the Endura/Delica/ Griptilian/Mini are the first knife models that I kept reading about for suggestions. I didn't get it then. But after owning low to high end productions to customs, I get it now. These are time tested models. If you haven't ever seriously considered any of these models, you are missing out.

So what knife models have you purchased more than once before?
 
Other than custom knives, my only repeat knife is the small Sebenza.
 
Rather than Brand I repeat on style. I have many Stockman Style Knives. I really like that design of knife. The 3 blades is just perfect for me... If I go brand I have had (4) Spyderco Police models through the years...
 
CQC7's. I have owned far more of this particular knife than all others. Also the BUCK 110, especially when I was younger. keepem sharp
 
I have 5 Sebenzas now and they range from Plain Regular Large to NICA Tanto to a Micarta and Bocotti Wood Inlay Large Classics and a customized Large Regular.
 
IIRC, the only knife that I have ever bought twice is a Buck 303.

I had one in the 70's and lost it on a business trip in ~1980. When I got back, I went out and bought another, which I still have.

Now I have several stockman knives, but I don't consider those repeats. Each one is a different model, or has different alloy blades, or different scale materials. To me they do not count as repeats.
 
I had a Kershaw Tyrade and sold it then bought another which I still have. I have 2 ZT0500 MUDD knives just because I think it is a great knife.
 
Gerber Freeman S30V folder and Ka-Bar 1217 USMC. I'm on my third one of each. The previous ones were either given away as gifts to friends or sold for more money than I paid for them.
 
Blurs. RC-3 and RC-4.

I just like Blurs.

I have a whole bunch of SAK Classics...if those count. Need one on every set of keys as far as I can tell.
 
Several Benchmade 710's. I always miss them after I sell it. I've also had repeat Large and Small Sebenzas. I sell the large because I want a small. I get the small and I decide it's a little TOO small so I bought the large again
 
Spyderco CF S90V Military x2
Spyderco CF BG-42 Military x2
Spyderco Volpe x2
Spyderco Ocelot x2
Spyderco Native PE x2
Spyderco CPM D2 Para-Military x2
Byrd Raven x2
Byrd Catbyrd x2
Kershaw Random Leek x2
Buck Custom 110 x6
Buck 271 Alpha Dorado x3
Benchmade Griptilian x6

That is all I can remember for now.
 
There are few discontinued or limited runs Spydercos, which I have more than one: both Persians, micro-Dyad, Native4, Kopa Cocobolo and Jigged Bone, Volpe, Black Lum Chinese. Most of them are back-ups for my EDCs, but some of the I grabbed as good deal to trade later.
 
Endura. I have a white, but I decided it's too pretty, so I got a green ZDP.

Me too, I traded my last Small Sebenza away, thinking i'd never miss is...I was completley wrong.
Another is due in my hands this week.

I think with the Knife hobby we constantly seek new and exciting things, it takes a pretty good knife to break that habbit.

I guess it depends on exactly what you mean. :confused:

I have multiples of some knives, but they are variants with different handle materials and/or blade steels. So, while I have multiple Delicas, Leeks and Trappers, the only exact duplicate I ever bought was an aluminum handled Spyderco Police model I bought to replace one that I lost.
 
i have a few different variations of the spyderco delica and the endura, and i have 2 spyderco caly 3.
