Yes, this is about lost knives.
I'm sure nearly all of us have lost knives in one way or another.... dropped it out of a boat, fell out of a pocket on the tilt-a-whirl.... many ways.
It's nearly always really irritating, but we get over it and move on...
As many of you know, I carry and use most of my knives... I have a few that have not been used, but I could count them on one hand.
One of my favorites has been the Forum Bunny knife. It just checks ALL the boxes for me... size, balance, nail nicks on the same side, clip and pen blades... and ebony.
I lost it at work. Last Friday, I was using it to cut tie-wraps off equipment cords so I could actually do my job of equipment maintenance. Our management, in their infinite wisdom, decided to have someone come through and tie all the cords to the table legs/uprights, etc... to make it look "neater". While it looks neater it makes it impossible to move any printers/dispensers/whatever, if maintenance or repair is needed.... as it always is. My response is to cut any tie wraps that hinder me from doing my job.
Enter the Bunny.... I used it to do the tie wrap removal, then got sidetracked working on the equipment... thought I had put it back in my pocket. Then the weekend came... transferred all my stuff to my "church pants"... no Bunny. Hmmmm. Did the "search" at home, no joy.
Got to work Monday, couldn't find it. I backtracked as best as my old memory prompted, still didn't find it.
I had resigned myself to the fact that it was gone. I was going to search for another one, and willingly pay a premium for it.... I like it that much.
Got to work today, and made one last sweep of possible locations.... and found it. Apparently right where I left it.... many of you know the feeling of finding something that you had given up for "gone".... it's difficult to describe. I know we shouldn't get attached to "things"... but.... it happens.
Anyway..... long story not shortened at all..... the Bunny is back where it belongs... in my pocket. It's a good day....
Where I found it.... notice the dead tie wraps on the floor, thanks to the Bunny...
