My regret is that I came across your channel and got hooked up to EDC :P Now I have already spent over $1200 within 3 months and I don't know if I should continue collecting or not. But hey, your presentation is high quality and content is super interesting. I love watching your videos. Please making more.
I'm not sure what's changed, but your quality & content has improved recently, and it was excellent before. Keep it up! My regrets: 1. Not keeping an "opportunity fund". Missed a bunch of stuff because I didn't have the money at that exact moment. 2. Thinking "budget gear" & "just as good as" were great ideas. 4 $50 knives aren't the same as 1 $200 knife. I guess we all have to learn what quality is, but we waste so much money (and satisfaction) along the way. 3. Buying "placeholder" gear. Things that are visually similar to what you want but at a lower price. There is no substitute. Paying for what you don't really want only delays getting what you do. 4. "Analysis Paralysis" waiting so long and thinking too much until what you want is gone. Don't be impulsive, but don't be indecisive either. 5. Nobody's really going to read all these so I'll stop 🤣
There’s absolutely no need to spend $200 to get a quality knife be it a folder, or fixed blade. The Benchmade Makes several folders you can find for under $150, Gerber makes some outstanding fixed blades for under $100 as does Condor, and Kbar.
I have a few lessons learned watches. Not worth selling. Now they are my beater watches. Got over my little addiction and stopped impulse buying. Now I have a good collection, proud of all them, they all get wear.
Not sure if they still have any, but I recently purchased a 943 from Mathews Archery. They did a colab with Benchmade and it has the Mathews logo below the Benchmade logo.
Top 4 for me Zt301. I love the big blade and tiger stripes plus it functioned flawlessly Spyderco pm2 blurple s110v. Had it when it first came out. Ended up buying another one. Scales and blade are badass Leatherman free p2. I'll buy another one soon. To me it's better than the wave just wish it had interchangeable bits. Side note i edc a Leatherman juice s2 in worn ass blaze orange . Best edc multi tool ever. Change my mind Hibbens 1965 skinner. Got it super cheap in a bulk buy deal and traded it for a trailer which I sold for $1k.
Man, I haven't been here in a while admittedly, but when I saw this title I clicked. I've never felt so relatable to a TH-cam video before, the way you describe the regrets of selling certain items I have the same exact feelings. Sometimes I am lucky and also get those pieces back like you did with your second on the list here. I just bought back a flashlight I should have never sold last night! Anyway great video, really enjoyed hearing your explanations and I feel the same way.
I just can't bring myself to sell anything!! I don't care if it's a $500 Civivi or a $1500 Medford I can't do it. In my eyes everything has a story or an experience associated with it!!
I sold my hinderer eklipse to help pay for university bills and have wanted that knife back ever since I shipped it. I still have other high end knives like a large sebenza 21 but I still am keeping my eye out for another red g10 harpoon spanto eklipse. Sold it for way less than it's worth as well because I needed a fast sale.
The Gareth Bull Miura is amazing. Punching well above its weight class in knives! One of my all time favorites. Guillotine-like action and as you said beautiful! I hope they do another run and a Shamwari production run again.
I sold a pistol to a coworker/friend many years ago to fund the purchase of a pistol that was better for concealed carry. Threw in a nice Galco holster, matching mag pouch and half a dozen mags. I pretty much gave it away too. I regret selling it off and not just saving my money to buy the CCW pistol later. But that feeling of having to have it now kicked in and over ruled that thought process. 20 years later I still have the one I bought as a result of the sale with the vow I'd never sell another one. I definitely need an "opportunity fund". Great idea.
Somehow, I’ve lost my PM2. It wasn’t my most used knife but it was the first knife I modded. It was a beautiful M4 DLC blade with a so textured OD green micarta scales. Hopefully I find it but I’m slowly moving towards replacing it.
No matter which way you skin it, the Damasko is a far superior watch. Whilst I understand you regret selling the Lum-Tec from a sentimental perspective, having a quartz watch means you have the inherent weakness of relying on a battery (vs mechanical auto of something like the Damasko). On the note, I am going to throw another German made watch ‘hat’ in the ring: Sinn. Check them out, used by German military and special ops, a seriously robust and brilliant watch brand. Thanks for the videos and keep up the great work.
I think most of my regrets come down to buying gear that's missing what I consider a really important feature or quality. For example, im left handed and always use knives and pocket tools with my left hand. I've bought a couple of knives and pry tools with right-hand only pocket clips and I've regretted almost every one.
My only EDC regret is that I live in Poland and every cool USA-made piece is automatically 20-30% more expensive here. This makes a fairly regular stuff - like the All Access Pass by Lynch Northwest - my Grails.
Hello sir. Love your content and have some of my own edc regrets. And actually one of them is my small sebenza 21. I saved up for quite a while and purchased it. My most expensive knife at the time. But it never was a knife I really enjoyed. It’s an amazing well built knife don’t get me wrong I just don’t love it on a personal preference level. Anyway I don’t ever use it or carry it and have never figured out the best way to sell or trade it so if you have any interest in it please let me know. Perhaps we can help each other with a regret. I’m not sure you will even see this but hey no harm in putting out there. Cheers!
@@WhosRyan oh awesome I’m not even sure how to proceed. I can take some photos and we can discuss it further if you’d like. I’ll be honest I’ve never traded or sold any gear like this. Perhaps you could suggest the next move. I feel like not doing it in this comment area is probably appropriate. Let me know.
I’m one of the few that agree with you. Glad we’re not alone. 😁 The Sebenza was by far the most expensive knife I had ever purchased at the time, and I was incredibly disappointed. Even after breaking it in, the action and feel was very meh for my own preferences. I love drop shut action. If $30 budget knives can do it flawlessly and reliably and still have rock solid lockup, I certainly expect it in $500+ knives. The same goes for good comfortable thumb studs. But it’s my fault, I didn’t do enough research, just saw everyone and their dog talking about how great it was and pulled the trigger based on that. I learned I’m much more of a Shiro guy than a CRK guy. Shiros, to me, *feel* like what I imagined a $500+ knife would feel like.
Love the hat bro! My biggest regret…this might sound crazy, but buying fancy titanium scales for my Bugout. Don’t get me wrong they are great quality and look amazing (critter scales from Rockscale Designs, highly recommend if you want titanium scales) but I just hated carrying my Bugout after I installed them. It didn’t feel like the fun, adventure-y EDC knife I fell in love with originally. It was too classy, too pricy and just didn’t have the right vibe anymore. I recently swapped to Flytanium micarta scales and have fallen in love with my Bugout again! They cost less, look great, feel super comfortable, have a better grip and are more in line with what I personally think the Bugout should be. I am back to carrying it all the time and added a lanyard after watching your lanyard tying video. Sometimes the best EDC items don’t have to be decked out with the best possible materials, they just have to feel right for you. Best believe I’ll buy a Bugout in Magnacut though if that dream ever comes true…
If the rumors are true, I somehow ended up with your Marathon TSAR. I'm not a watch person at all (if I need to know what time it is, I'll look at my phone) but wearing an expensive watch like the Marathon does make you feel good so I always put it on if I'm leaving the house. I have a SKX-009j that I had to continuously fix the time and date on so having a battery powered watch is a must, even if those aren't as cool to you watch snobs. :)
Im with you on the miura 😅 I watched it drop but I hesitated. Once pictures and reviews started popping up I instantly regretted it. Would love to own a carbon fiber one. Still looking for the OZ roosevelt myself 👊
My only regret so far is not getting one of benchmades or spydercos that I want before I realized they increase their prices every so often. They just increased them and that's how I found out that that's a thing. Can't really avoid that just wish I had known before it happened
The 941 and 943 are soooo great. I wish that blade shape was still in production. I love the ones I have I want to find another with a non-coated finish to put that style blade in my 940-1601. I think that’d make my second favorite Benchmade aside from my Anthem. A second Anthem would be neato, too.
First let me say im so happy to have found your channel and all of its subscribers. I thought i was alone in the world with my hobby. Coworkers called me inspector gadget lol. Anyways i see you mention selling your knifes. I have a few in great condition id like to sell/trade. Is there any particular media outlet you use?
My biggest.. neglected to wash my first crk and leaving it home after cooking breakfast one morning.. was a small insingo with micarta inlays. I wasn't totally feeling the blade shape and was in the process of selling it. I left it sitting on the counter and my girlfriend decided to do some cleaning while I was gone that day.. to cut to the chase, I'm pretty positive thzt she threw it out. Never saw it again after that morning.
Count your blessings selling a junk lun tech! I had one and immediately sold it within a week. I got it when they first came out and it took 4 to 6 weeks to get and immediately hated it!
I always say, "buy what you like" but yeah, as a watch collector, Lume tec or whatever...shit watches. Literally never heard of it until I started watching this channel. Over priced garbage with cheap quartz movements. Complete rip offs. Dime a dozen companies
My lesson learned was when I left my original leatherman wave on my tool box at work to help someone finish what they were working on. When I came back someone swiped my wave.
Ha Taylor love the video. One knife I wanted the most combat troondon in m390 blackout edition with od green scales. So happy to find one. Worst regret color coordination it drives my edc. As always great video can't wait for the next one. Quick question do you carry counseled. If so what do you carry?
You talked a lot in this video about buying and selling used knives where are some good places online to get secondhand or pre-owned mid to to high end pocket knives?
After 10 years of owning a benchmade mini grip, I bought my 10 year old son his 1st g10 version. Now mine drives me nuts with thumb stud pain while he got a Medford dp187 for his 14th birthday. His Breitling came when he graduated 8th grade…. Lucky buggar…. My thumb still hurts!!!
I think every edc collector has a ton of regrets. Selling my heavily modded zt 0620 and my LE blackout chaves ultramar redencion street tanto are just two of mine. Selling my crk zaan tanto was another. Not jumping on the hinderer train earlier, yet another.
I personally like to have the wide edge on my knives. When you have that fine thin edge on a knife, it looks straight from the factory to me. Having that wider edge adds something to the knife, it looks like a personally sharpened knife. Does that make any sense?
i regret selling my all black tanto pm2...i got it and then my car needed work. I have two para 3s and love that size, but still would love to have that thing back. Also would love an oz roosevelt...i feel you on that too. I got a demko ad20.5 and wasn't crazy about it so figured catch and release because I knew people were waiting. Definitely want something in magnacut, just can't decide.
My only regret is buying the Spyderco Ikuchi. I love the look of it and I think white Juma scales would make it come alive but I hate the gear flipper. It just hurts to use. I have no choice but use the compression lock to deploy it.
There is a 943s for sale on ebay right now...after shipping it's going to cost $375. Not a fan of serrated but maybe you could reblade it? Would end up costing an arm lol
My biggest regret with edc gear is over thinking and missing out. I see a deal or item I want but ponder on it too long and miss out or have to chase it later at more cost in some cases.
Are you ever gonna do another watch collection video? I loved your last collection update. I think you said watch videos don’t do well on your channel but maybe one would be ok???? Maybe
I feel like I remember you not liking the small sebenza a couple years ago in a video or two. You didn't care for the size, something like that. Hopefully it makes its way back to you man
I would say the moral of the story is don't sell off items that you get that are truly limited special editions that you get from shows or that you managed to have custom made or modified to your likes and specifications especially if it has any sentimental factor behind it because there will never be another. Yes it might be the same model or similar item but it isn't "The One" that you purchased to represent that event in your life.
Mm I feel the pain on that watch, not because it’s a piece of Matter and atoms but because you traded away your subscribers 100k people manifested into a beautiful watch, what a shame to trade away. I can and will call you the fool! Lmao I still love watching your vids! Thanks for being truly truthful!
Regrets...1. Buying a Blade HQ Quartermaster Spicoli. 2. Buying all the Maratac Titanium flashlights. 3. Buying an ADV. 4. Selling my Maverick workshop bead. 5. Not learning how to mod knives sooner with ferric chloride and stonewashing.
Future Regrets: Eventually you'll run out of sporting goods, hardware, and big box stores, and will have to do a 'Best EDC available' video at Walgreens....

I was the one who sold you that small Sebenza 21! I too miss that knife. Haven’t gotten a new Sebenza yet but happy to hear you enjoyed it.
My one and only: getting into watches. I got way in super quickly. Sold all of them a few months ago and don’t miss it
Yeah watches can be a landslide financial downfall if you aren’t buying the right ones.
I have a few lessons learned watches. Not worth selling. Now they are my beater watches.
Got over my little addiction and stopped impulse buying. Now I have a good collection, proud of all them, they all get wear.
Well u sold while the market os high at least
Sorry to hear it. Probably had bad advice
Watched held their value during pandemic... flip what you don’t wear now

There's a few 943s on ebay right now.
I feel like I remember you not liking the small sebenza a couple years ago in a video or two. You didn't care for the size, something like that. Hopefully it makes its way back to you man
How/where do you sell your knives?
whats the name of that knife in number 2???
What would be a good high lumen watch that has that analog seiko look
Wow I really like that belt. 90 year warranty !! Wow I want to order a belt! They look comfortable
Once that Oz Roosevelt went to $700 I bailed and never looked back. Missed my chance at $500 also. 🤷🏼♂️. Thanks for the video!
I would say the moral of the story is don't sell off items that you get that are truly limited special editions that you get from shows or that you managed to have custom made or modified to your likes and specifications especially if it has any sentimental factor behind it because there will never be another. Yes it might be the same model or similar item but it isn't "The One" that you purchased to represent that event in your life.
Mm I feel the pain on that watch, not because it’s a piece of Matter and atoms but because you traded away your subscribers 100k people manifested into a beautiful watch, what a shame to trade away. I can and will call you the fool! Lmao I still love watching your vids! Thanks for being truly truthful!
Buying maxamet steel when I live 5 miles from the ocean 🙈🙉🙊
Regrets...1. Buying a Blade HQ Quartermaster Spicoli. 2. Buying all the Maratac Titanium flashlights. 3. Buying an ADV. 4. Selling my Maverick workshop bead. 5. Not learning how to mod knives sooner with ferric chloride and stonewashing.
That Carolina Wren doesn't bother me.
Never have regrets! Live life to the fullest! Love the intro!!!!!!!! Dang birdies!

Makes you feel any better I lost my navy tactile turn :( bought it for memory of my dad
Can some tell me who makes blades for 940 ?
I think we all have some regrets! They were all great lessons learned.
You should get the 46 marathon. The 41 wears too small. I have the 46 JDD auto and it’s amazing.

Future Regrets: Eventually you'll run out of sporting goods, hardware, and big box stores, and will have to do a 'Best EDC available' video at Walgreens....
🤣
Never like anything that is aged when you buy it. Use it and make your own ware .
Biggest regret: not learning how to pronounce " Shirogorov" )) i kid, i kid
