Possible, but selling Poacher's knife or Ranger's Trailblazer nets a 225 gold loss. Ranger's Trailblazer has a useful side effect of healing and mana return that's a percentage, making it always relevant and a great buy. As for laners getting these items, not a great idea. Investing 750 in a jungle item will cause you to lose your lane. Devourer also only stacks from Jungle monsters, so it'll be much weaker on a laner than a Jungler.

I can see Poacher's Knife being sold on occasion, but if you're team is in a winning position, it's worth keeping. Moving through the jungle is common at any stage of the game and the bonus gold helps for ward purchases. It's only when your team is on the defensive, and thus, never in their jungle, that it loses usefulness.
