Let's say you left for work one day with your EDC (let's say one knife, for argument's sake). You come home to find your house ransacked, all your knives gone. Which 3 knives would you start rebuilding your collection with?

For me, I'd have my Victorinox Classic with me (it's always on my keychain). I'd start with:
1. Buck 309 with the nice new rosewood scales and brass bolsters
2. Gotta have an SAK. Tinker for me.
3. A Mora No.1 for woodworking and bushcraft.
 
Man, that would be so rough!

I'd have a Les George VECP with me. To rebuild:
1. Hinderer XM-18
2. Sebenza
3. Strider SMF or SnG
 
1. Sebenza
2. Vic ALOX Electrician
3. Richmond Artifex 210mm gyuto in m390 (assuming the kitchen knives are gone as well...
 
1. GEC #62 Maverick
2. Case small Texas Jack
3. one of the Blind Horse patch knives
 
Luckily I've got a Green Para2 on order. ;)
Spyderco South Fork
Busse TGLB
Busse Sarge7
 
This did happen to me. Lost CRK, Strider, BM, ZT, etc.

I restarted with:
Strider SJ75
Victorinox Spirit
CRK Nyala
 
Today I'm carrying my orange Military so I would still have it.
I would have to keep an eye out for another D2 Paramilitary 1. Then a waved Delica and Serrated Tasman Salt.
 
Maybe I should keep my knives in the gunsafe...

Probably my BK9, BK16, and Ka-Bar heavy warthog.

And easier question is the three knives I wouldn't bother replacing.
 
Well I would have 2 blades on me: today the CQC10 and Caly3.5

To rebuild?
CQC7
Sebenza (hopefully in the next month or so)
ESEE 6
 
1. Upgrade my pocket clip edc to Sebenza
2. GEC conductor or other smaller GEC pattern - gets the most use in my world
3. BK-5
That was a lot harder than I though it would be, after the initial 3 purchase I would still be left feeling empty and would have to purchase at least 5 more in short order.
 
I'd most likely have my small Sebenza on me.

First I'd buy a kitchen knife. I'd probably end up with fewer knives overall. I have many similar knives that I'm not getting rid of, but I wouldn't buy all of them again. Some knives are no longer in production so I can't replace them for the price I originally paid (e.g. BM-42).

I'd probably get a Large Sebenza 21 again. And a BM-32. Perhaps a Spyderco Southard and a Caly 3. And a mini-griptilian eventually. Definitely not all at once. This is getting expensive. For a fixed blade I'd probably get something completely different just to try something new.
 
I've HAD that happen to me.. -_- It stinks. Except it was my worktools, and they were taken out of the back of my truck. Whoever it was got my multitool, a small fixed, and a good folder with it. Cost me quite a chunk.
 
I'd have my Sebenza 21 and Benchmade 710 (M390) on me.

Assuming I could get renters insurance to cover the full value of my knife collection loss, I'd start with the following replacements:

(1) Benchmade 940 (Gold Class) - I own a standard 940 now, and consider it my favorite "small" knife;

(2) Benchmade 275 - I will never understand why people pay two to four times the price for ZTs and Hinderers when the 275 is easily the toughest hard use knife on the planet;

(3) Spyderco Gayle Bradley - Spectacular fit and finish, good size, classy and versatile.

I would quickly pick up a Cold Steel (L) Voyager as a folder beater, a mora, and BK 2 fixed blade.
 
I'd probably have an Um or dauntless in my pocket...

I'd pick up whichever wasn't in my pocket at the time plus a strider SNG and BM 530
 
I'm not much of a collecter, so i guess id go with the 3 knives i use the most.

Izula 2 would be on me then,

1.) esee 4
2.) Becker BK9
3.) SAK Tinker
