As the title says, are there any Busse-Kin knives you regret swapping/selling ?
I really miss my Swamprat Bandicoot and still don't know why I let it go ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

No regrets here yet. I'm still selling off the lesser knives, so I can buy more Busse Kin. Now guns, I could tell some sad stories.....

I'm in the same boat. Don't sell much in the way of knives, but I'd cry if I sat and thought about some of the guns that I've let go over the years.

Jungle Green M6. A money thing.
I have only sold 1 gun. A Smith and Wesson 65 3". Lesson learned. I don't sell my guns anymore.

What Pit, you don't miss that Dumpster Mutt, that thing was a classic. I really miss my B11, hopefully the B10 will fill the void

The Bandicoot though was a great blade and I didn't fully realise it till I'd let it go !

I've sold all of my non-ScrapYard & SwampRat knives. I don't miss any of those!
The only Bussekin I regret selling was an Urban Mutt. I only sold it because an online acquaintance was trying to get a survival kit together and had handled that knife at a training session we both attended. He contacted and asked about it - so I sold it to him.
I shouldn't have.

None, although I'm sort of a "black hole" for knives; I rarely let anything go, and only then if I have at least three more of the same model in reserve.
I do have regrets about knives that I didn't buy though. I was really on the fence about a couple of the Swamp Rats from last night's 'ganza. The hollow ground Rodent Solution was calling, but I kept reminding myself of two arguments: 1) The Swamp Rat store has CG Rodent Solutions for $108.95, so that satin/hollow ground option nearly doubled the price. 2) I already own several Mud Puppies, which I think fill the same niche, so it's hard to justify buying hg RSs. I know that those arguments are just as true this morning as they were yesterday, but another piece of my mind is telling me I should have gone for it.
Similarly, there was a shiny version of the paratchute mandu, but I already have a couple of the originals, so why spend $198.95 each for something that is the same as what I already have, just prettier? The answer to that is because I'm going to feel like I should have when people start posting pictures of theirs.
I had serious buyer's regret over the Hammered Wardens from the '09 VetDayGanza. I ended up buying one through the BladeForums Exchange -- I liked it well enough that I still wish I'd gotten a few at retail. Oh well, you can only store so much, and if it doesn't spoil and you already have enough, then it's silly to keep buying more -- that doesn't keep me from wanting to though.
