I don't know, Max. I usually regret selling any of my knives. I don't really grow my collection, so if I buy something then something else has to go. That is one I defifitely regret letting go. But I have another one coming so all is good. On the flip side I have to decide what has to go now. I have problems.

I had to sell my last three Busse knives to cover the cost of that FAL I bought. I still have zero Busses.

Definitely first world problems. I don't really mind these problems.

Nice!
I've been craving a Mnandi but they're just a bit on the small side for me.

Those are about as close as I will get to a "gentleman's" knife. Really want a Mnandi as well...but I'm just not sophisticated enough  I bought those for me and my dad last year, matching small insigno's. They are a wonderful blade design.

One for Dad, that's awesome!
I like the Mnandi because I recently decided I don't like any protrusions on the sides of my blades. The only exception is the cobra hood (sounds dirty) on my Spyderco ATR. This requirement severely limits the number of folders that interest me.
I swear, the older I get the more stupid pet peeves I develop.

Not to concerned about an Mnandi, but I have an Umnumzaan and a small Sebbie with the micarta scales. I WISH it were an Insingo blade, but for me that small is the best size pocket carry folder I have. It is just SO perfect.
