Seller's Remorse: Knives you've gotten rid of that you miss?

[DitmasPork]

I have no regrets, but two knives I got rid of that I miss are:

• 240 Gengetsu SS gyuto in prestine condition, with saya, circa 2013.
• 240 Konosuke Fujiyama gyuto, W2, circa 2013.

They are both currently in good homes.

I have also no regrets, but i miss a Mario honyaki W2 steel i've sold.

 

[Xenif]

This thread reminds me I haven't sold any knives yet, and should probably keep it that way [emoji14]

Didn't you also have like three Katos?

 

[labor of love]

Yep. Don’t miss them. I miss the cash I could have if I held on to them for a few years. I sold them all for half or a third of what they go for now.

I guess you also dumped your Apple stock early on too.

Kato standard profile looks more to my liking. Had I purchased one of those instead of a workhorse I’d likely still be in possession of it.
I was on the hunt back then for a shigafusa 240mm Kasumi that would be perfect for me. None is of the ones I used and owned worked out. I’m still keeping an eye out for a shig.

I miss the Kochi K-tip kurouchi santoku.

And the 80mm Kato petty that I sold for 80€

I already miss the Akebono I sold like 3 weeks ago.

Why'd you sell it?

The next time I have funds to buy a knife off the shelf it will be a 270mm akebono!

150 mm Robin Dalman Pettysuki. Not sure why I miss it, I barely used it but I still miss it. Surprisingly I don't miss my Kato

 

[ian]

Why'd you sell it?

To afford a Marko. It was my favorite knife, but all change is good, right?

 

[Benuser]

Had to sell a few knives because of the pressing need of the — little — money. Amongst those a Hiromoto NS-10 270mm, a simple knife but a great performer, I guessed I could find again in better times but never succeeded.

Tanaka ginsan nashiji 270 my first jknife I really liked.

Same one I liked?

I needed knife money so I sold a Suisin 270mm real Kiritsuke. At too low a price. I've absolutely have no need for that knife but may have to buy another.

 

[Barmoley]

Don't regret selling, but regret I couldn't keep them. I feel this way about most knives I've sold though....

oh wow. thats the coolest bloodroot ive seen.

Perfectly balanced for me and the profile was the best. Only tiny negative if I had to find something, food release could be better with a little more convexity.

Steel? How was edge retention? That Devin is killer

Reclaimed granite saw blade @64 HRC. Retention was very good in my use.

No wonder @daveb regrets selling it. It looks like the perfect knife for him.
