Spyderco Persian (dont ask me how i pulled that off)
Traded that for:
Spyderco Orange Military

Here's a direct copy from a post I made back in January:

For the longest time that was the ONLY way I got to handle new knives. I received a Bud Nealy 5" Damascu Aikuchi way back in the day.
I traded it for a 3 in ATS-34 Aikuchi and a Spyderco Civilian.
The Civilian Got traded for 3 knives.
The Aikuchi was sold and used to purchase a Benchmade 941BC1 Red plus other knives.
BM was sold to fund the rest of a purchase of a DDRalph Apogee.
The Apogee was traded for a Dale Reif Atrox,
which was then traded for a Unique Graphics Large Sebenza.
The large Sebenza was traded for a customized Microtech Socom Elite auto, a MOD Hornet manual, and an Al Mar SERE2K.
The Socom Elite auto (lizard skin inserts) was traded with some cash for a Microtech Halo III.
The Halo III was traded for a Large Sebenza "P"
The Sebenza "P" was sold and used to purchase a William Henry Spearpoint with Pearl.
The WH Pearl was traded with a manual Microtech Socom for a Damascus and Pearl William Henry Lancet.
The Lancet was traded for a Camillus Cuda Dominator and cash.
The Cash bought my wife an awesome watch for our anniversary.

This is the line of one knife, and it's trade/purchase generations. Money from the tree came and went, but the life can be traced one knife to the next for over 6 years of active knife activity.

Now adays, I'm much more likely to keep what I get. I haven't traded a knife away in almost 2 years. I tend to save up for knives, research the heck out of them, and then buy it to keep.

Things used to be much more exciting.
