Re: What knives do you miss?
I sold a Breeden Rescue years ago to buy something more practical (cannot even remember what). For a knife with a seemingly angular handle it had great ergos. I miss that quirky design.

Re: What knives do you miss?
Don't get me started. I've been lucky to have so many I can't complain but if I got to say all of them I don't still own.

Lava. And since the reboot didn’t sell great there’s zero chance we see it again
Re: What knives do you miss?
I miss my brown KC XHP Manix the most. It’s the nicest Manix LW I have owned and one of those knives that the universe aligned just right when it was created. I left it on the side of the trail during a break and by the time I realized that it was gone it was too late to go back and find it. The only one that I’ve seen for resell was ludicrously priced.

Re: What knives do you miss?
I wish I had bought the hundred pacer. It's not my type of carry but I'd love to own one as the design just speaks to me. I've seen a few for sale now and then but they were too pricey for me.
Re: What knives do you miss?
I miss my Spy27 N5. Lost it yesterday when I left it at the hotel I stayed at. I rode a charity bike ride and had to get out early and in my rush forgot to pack it. Really bummed. It was a gift from my wife and son. I just ordered a replacement from WMK.

Michael Walker C22. Should have never sold that one.
Re: What knives do you miss?
Maybe the dark green, linerless, Native 5 in S90V.
Not too many, I resist letting stuff go too much. I have dupes and/or sprints of a lot of the models I like.
I wonder why we never saw anything else in CTS-20CP. That's one I don't want to let go of because there is nothing else available with that steel.

I miss my black Perrin PPT… gave it to a friend, but I miss it
Re: What knives do you miss?
My list of knives i regret missing is way too long…
Pretty much any collaboration that I didn’t buy when they were in production and easily acquired. As it stands there are too many of them.
The EuroEdge is the first one that comes to mind for me. That design is absolutely gorgeous and I fully regret ignoring it when they were in production. I need a EuroEdge in my collection.

I don't know that variant, did a search, was it with brown FRCP scales like this? Even finding a photo of it was challenging.

Re: What knives do you miss?
I've never sold a Spyderco, but I've lost a few. I miss my ZDP-189 Stretch the most, followed by my ZDP-189 Dragonfly. Both excellent knives.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Re: What knives do you miss?
I think this is the very knife Ladybug 93 used to "torture" me with, by pretty often posting pics of it here...
He does not so much anymore, since he got his custom scale Manix 2, but the brown XHP Manix 2 LW still is the only Manix I might like even more than my beloved burnt orange REX 45 variant.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Re: What knives do you miss?
I'm pretty content but I do wish I would have purchased either the Endura or Stretch hap40, so seeing pics of them really hurts!
I have the KC exclusive hap40/pakkawood df2 but it doesn't do it for me like those burnt orange LW's do.

Both had a very specific tactile feel and were very pleasing to own, hold, and use. Since I had to sell my examples I've only seen each for sale a small handful of times over the past decade plus. Never had the opportunity to buy.

Re: What knives do you miss?
I miss having a lot of my old spydercos. Original lil temperance se leaf, blue almite navigator, cricket, h1 dragonfly, spot, native 2, kiwi3, ss jester, web etched spin, para3… probably more I’m not remembering. Being broke and having a strong desire to have the Caly models made me sell off 98% of my original collection.
