I've only sold 4 from my collection.
S30V Shaman. Too heavy and the nub at the lock release is annoying.
S90V Native 5 LW. Not a fan of the Golden FRN on this model.
Chaparral Raffir Noble. Terrible scale pattern on mine. Mostly acrylic with some brass with a trace of copper.
DLT Para 2 Cruwear. The color wasn't what I was expecting. Not a vivid purple. Plenty of Para 2's so not a loss.

The Chaparral RF is the only one I miss. I would recommend anyone interested in this one, see it in person before buying. There's such a variety in the Raffir Noble, it's best to try it before you buy it. Online purchases can lead to disappointment.

I’ve had - and sold - three k390 urbans. Too much money to hang on a worrisome pivot.

Ah, yes, exponential buyer’s remorse.

The G10 version of the Native 5.
It's not a model I sold but that I gifted to my brother. Favorite knife and instead of keeping it, I decided my brother had to test it !

But since then I badly want to replace it... It'll happen sooner than later ^^
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

I've sold probably around 30 knives over the past 5 years, and have yet to pick up an exact model that I've sold.

Though my biggest regret is selling a Gayle Bradley 2 I bought new on eBay back when they had the coupon deals around 4 years ago...bought that knife for $114!!!! Sold it for around $160 a couple years ago and missed it, but these yearly increases make me sick to even consider spending $200 on the same knife I bought for almost half the price less than 5 years ago!
15 :bug-red 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut
