Best knife you have lost!!!

Microtech Socom elite! I went for a test drive, my clip was sprung, it fell out of my pocket. Got home, called the dealership and they said they couldn't find it.
 
I lost a BK11 Thanksgiving morning hunting, and I had only owned it for just over a week I think. I'll probably never get over it. Worse than that though, was this past summer, opening ice bags to fill a cooler in the gas station parking lot and leaving my grandfathers Case Peanut on the back bumper and driving off. I'll never forgive myself for that one. I left a Cold Steel Voyager in a bunker that I built in Bahrain back in 1998, my only comfort was knowing that another service member was now carrying it. And people wonder why some carry two knives, lol. 2 is 1 and 1 is none.
 
I've never permanently misplaced a knife but I've had some stolen. My 2 Buck 120's and a 124 are the ones I miss the most. They were both stolen by my sister's ex a few years back along with a bunch of other knives :mad: Never been able to bring myself to re-buy them since they all go for over $100 these days and I got them for less the $50 each back in the mid/late 90's.
 
Such pain this brings up! I let my wife carry my BM 635 Mini Skirmish for a while and she lost it. That was the first "Tactical" knife I owned, when I won it in a raffle, and was the beginning of the disease. I still hold out hope that it will turn up. Such a great knifel...sob
 
Spyderco FRN SE Dragonfly. Have no idea where I put it.

Though eventually it'll be a CRKT M21 SFG if the s***bag I loaned it to continues to play games with me.
 
I lost a kershaw chive that a friend gave me. I was snowmobiling and I guess it slipped out of my pocket.. Also lost a throwing knife. but that happens.
 
I lost a an early 1900's schrade walden stockman with peachseed bone in very nice condition. The nicest production knife and oldest in my collection. It was a special occasion and I put it in my shirt pocket and was off to a concert in a park--- it wasn't until I was leaving the show I realized it was so slick it just slipped out while I stretched out on a blanket. I went back to the spot we were sitting in a mad dash and asked some people around if they had seen it. One guy looked really guilty. It taught me to always put my knife in the exact same pocket and position every time and be methodical about it. I broke my rule once, and I still think about that knife. I do a meditation and hope that at least someone is getting pleasure from those sweet bone scales and turkish clip blade. RIP Sweetheart.
 
I lost a buck Juno when i was like 13 i believe, still mad about that one

also lost an old gerber lock back, small and really good little knife, lost it when i was little, i wish i still had it
 
I lost a Puma White Hunter sheath knife on a camping trip thirty some years ago. Somehow or other it fell out of the sheath. I really liked that knife.
 
I lost an m390 tsek at the foundry i was working at in september

she came back to me the other day though! joyous occasion
 
Losing any decent knife suck. I've lost plenty in my wilder days. One was a Benchmade Bali, older mini-type before they had the spring latch. Also lost a Sog Vision. Also lost an EKI CQC-10. Worst, and most recent was a Small Seb-21. Honestly, a few other these weren't "lost" but stashed, and unrecovered, but I wont go into those details. I guess I deservered to lose a few of these.
 
I've lost a few over the years but the worst was my very first Spyderco. I was around 13 or 14 and I got my first "high end" knife, an Endura SE. I got it from a knife store in our local mall. I really liked it and carried it every where. I was so happy to have it and I used it every chance I got. I'm not exactly sure where I lost it but the best I can figure I lost it at my local Wal-Mart. I remember having it before I went to Wal-Mart and discovering later I no longer had it. I don't remember taking it out in the store but maybe I did, all I know is I never found it. The funny thing is that I've never owned another Endura.
The only other knives I can remeber losing are two BM 705's. I have NO IDEA where I lost one of them but the second one I lost at a party. No one had a bottle opener so I used the clip of my knife to open my beers all night and must have bent the clip out a little and it fell out of my pocket. I sat down at a lot of different places and I guess it just slipped out somewhere. I've never recovered a knife I lost. Good job to the few that have.
 
I have never lost a knife that I didn't find within a couple minutes, or was returned to me. In California I had a bad habit of leaving my benchmade knives just laying around. Every few days an employee would bring me a benchmade and ask if it was mine. They already knew the answer though.
