Everyone already said it... drop that thing twice and bye bye! I'm assuming you'll find it the first time.
I think all woods knives should have blaze orange or yellow scales or handles. In a pocket or pouch it won't show, but when it hits the forest floor you'll be glad it does.
Slightly OT, but relevant to dropping things in the woods: I gave my daughter a minimag for hiking, upgraded with the Nite-ize tailcap & 1W LED. She dropped it. On the way back a friend of hers noticed a red LED blinking under a fallen tree. Sure enough, it was her light, she hadn't even realized she'd lost it climbing over that tree.
