Ok, so I love to get into the trading game here. The problem is I have known to trade away some knives that I end up wishing I wouldn't have.
Here are my 3 most recent: SOG Powertool, Leatherman Core, and a Benchmade 530.
I ended up buying a new benchmade, and will probably get a new Leatherman (a Juice S2 just can't do the same stuff), but now I'm cash out of pocket for stuff I already had.
What have you parted with that you now regret?

Please tell me I'm not alone in this.....:(
 
I rarely sell anything, which means I almost never regret selling anything. Instead, I tend to get buyer's remorse once in a while. I pull the trigger on something, but then wish I had not. That is not so bad though, as it is better to regret making a purchase than regret making a sale. At least you can sell, give or otherwise unload an unwise purchase.

I think the only knife I regret selling was a BK7 (I think) that had one of those skull camo jobs done on it, whatever thats called. The knife and sheath were covered in that stuff. Wish I had that one back, but thats about my only regret.
 
Sold a Randall #25-6 in 01 blade steel, I wish I had that one back.

Traded a knife on this forum and then realized that I had more sentimental attachment to it than I had expected. I was able to get it back.
 
I had a first run Spyderco Manix that I sold for $65 so I could buy a flashlight back in 2005. :barf:
 
I just buy, don't really sell, so no remorse!
I have gifted quite a few knives, and I don't regret giving any of them away since I only give to friends and family.
 
I traded a nearly 30 year old Rare Schrade canoe slipjoint for a Delica 4. Hanging around Bladeforums makes you stupid sometimes!
 
I sold my xm-18, which I got directly from rick... I regret it, but needed the cash more than the knife... already miss it though.. will get another one day
 
I traded a Microtech ctmx-5 along with a bunch of other production folders for a Strider I just had to have. I do regret tossing the Microtech in the mix. That was my first high dollar folder.
 
I want my Emerson CQC-11 back.

And my Boker Infinity (I had 2, I sold one and the other got stolen)
 
i regretted selling my Yamaha RZ250R "Hiroshima Screamer" to an absolute asstard.

i've never actually sold a knife. but i've sure regretted loaning a few out.
 
I've sold off or traded a few knives that I would love to still own, but I tend to sell them off or trade them for knives that I want more, so there tends not to be any remorse for me. The knife that I would love back more than any other is the 3" DDR Madd Maxx I used to own:
