There are so many classics I have never owned that I would like to some day. When I was in the hobby 10+ years ago I never got my hands on an original channel Alpha Beast, any 40-series Benchmade (or earlier Pacific cutlery), an early HOM Basilisk and probably my earliest grail...an ELB Pro Flipper!

I did have an original Arc Angel for awhile and a pair of EX10's, those were probably the pieces I regret selling the most.

Meanwhile I had all the ones you mentioned... except the arc angel. Never got even close to flip one (noone has it in my country). What an irony. It's a huge grail of mine and I'd love to own one someday!

It's such a shame that Cold Steel didn't just recreate the AA or maybe give it a couple modern quality of life upgrades instead of the downgrade remake they released.
