Well, I'm severely amused. 3 months back while moving wood I lost my Spyderco, a Centofante 3. The whole grid search and 48 hours later I gave the search up. Took me a month to get over it, I'd carried that thing for a year straight and well.
Then last night the person who had hired me walked up and said, "Is this your knife?" It took a second for me to register his words due to my confusion at what he was holding. It was a weirdly shaped clump of mud with a glimmer of black and silver shining out. Long story short since we all know what the mud actually was, my Spyderco Centofante 3 came back to me after 90 plus days of rainy slushy late Fall early Winter weather spent outdoors under a stack of wood in a swampy part of town. There was some minor rust, two spots near the Spyderhole, a bit on the locking mechanism, and a good bit on the polished "ramp" where the blade spins and locks up. But thirty minutes of work later, you can't tell. Best yet, the edge is the same as I left it! Try that with another knife. :thumbup:
