catch and release and catch

[sethwm]

Which knives have folks here gotten, gotten rid of (sell or gift), then regretted and bought again?

For me:

• endela m390

• endela k390

• salt 2 lc200n

• stretch 2 k390 (about to repurchase, anyway)

• delica cruwear

• smock

• chaparral

I didn't realize this list would be so long... making me sad

I’m always tempted by another pm2, as well…

Sorry to derail your thread, I have not sold and repurchased any knives from any manufacturer yet.

I sold my 2 Spyderco Yojimbo 20CV knives a few months ago. Yojimbos had been my daily carry but after buying around 10 Spyderco Native Chiefs I decided they would be my EDC along with a couple of small fixed blades.

That said, if I was going to buy any knives again, it would be two Spyderco Yojimbos in 20CV. Excellent knife, but I like the Native Chief that much. Have not carried anything other than my Native Chiefs since receiving them(and the 2 fixed blades).

Spydiechef.

Bought and sold three different times.

Came to say exactly this. I’ve bought that knife on the secondary market for a good deal three times and resold them without taking a loss. Kept thinking I’d like it the next time but nope — it just doesn’t work for me. I think it’s a little cramped for my hand so if a bigger version ever comes to market I’ll probably try that too.

I've never done it, but I definitely regret selling my GB2 I bought brand new back when Ebay did the coupons...paid $114 for it!

[MFlovejp]

I think I’ve sold about 7 Spydies by now, but honestly haven’t really been tempted to buy any back. I’ve certainly held on to about 5 times as many as I’ve sold haha.

[Brock O Lee]

None

[Airlsee]

Never have. The only one I'd be interested in reacquiring is the Sage 5, but would probably pick up the LW. The example that I sold had some blade play that couldn't be adjusted out and an action that wasn't ideal. I really like the design and would love to get one in a fantastic steel.

Para 3. Bought the BD1N lightweight, then sold it. Got the DLT version lightweight, sold it. Bought the DLT G10 version two times, sold them. Also bought the Maxamet Para 3 two times, sold them both times. Settled on the HH UKPK and Sage 3 as the knives I always thought the was Para 3 would be for me.
