Dang It!!!

Bummer. I found my vintage SAK Tinker while cleaning up. My first knife too!
 
I take it they're not large fixed blades
which you have misplaced?
Considering you have two knives missing,
I presume you have a couple more to speak of
So as not to loose sleep entirely?
I wouldn't worry too much
If indeed they were misplaced somewhere within the house?
There's more than a slight chance of reunification.
Good luck in your search.
 
My Dad "lost" a Benchmade 440 that I got for him a few years back for his birthday. My Mom told me he moped around for two weeks trying to find it, then ended up tracking one down (they were discontinued) and buying a way overpriced one because he was afraid to tell me he had lost it (though, since I thinned it out and put mirror bevels on it for him, it would have been really hard for him to fool me).

He ended up finding the "lost" one a couple weeks later--it had dropped down underneath a chair in the living room.
 
I lost my Sere once. I thought it was in Galveston! I retraced my steps and went everywhere I went that trip. (3 times. With a week between trip 2 and 3) I had given up hope on it and went without it for about 8 months. We cleaned the car out and it was under the seat. I swear I had looked there 100 times.
 
I always used to tell my wife that somebody must have stolen them. She always finds them for me in about five minutes.
Great girl. I have gotten over most of my paranoia...except when I look behind me.
 
I lost a Benchmade 707 when I was a teen. I recently bought one to replace it, without those annoying serrations. Still miss the old one though because it was my first real knife.
 
Funny you mentioned loosing sleep, I was laying in bed restless till about 3am, decided to just get up and look for them, found one!!!
The other two are cheap-ish, "Ontario Air Force Survival" (About $35 on Amazon) and a "Cold Steel Kukri Machete, how does one misplace a machete?" (About $20.00 anywhere) The one I found was an all steel "Spyderco Endura" I bought at a knife shop in the 90's had my initials engraved on it back then at "Things Remembered" if you can believe that!! :) I almost cried when I could not find that one, have had it for 20 years or so bought it when I was a teen, my first real quality folder.
 
A happy reunion no doubt!
but at the same time,
dumbfounded that it was fix blades doing a stealth cloaking number.
wow! A machete??!
i can only conclude that your home must be pretty spacious...
All is not lost though;
and there is still hope by all indications.
it's pretty clear that those AWOL blades were
Somehow taunting you
By sending out haunting messages
Thus, keeping you wide awake....
I bet they kept saying,
"absence makes the heart go fonder".
 
Indeed!!! Girly!!
I have been in the process of doing a complete overhaul of my Bug Out Bags, updates and such, and doing CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) classes, and working full time, I guess I have been a little distracted lately, not to mention my girlfriend has decided I need to spend my whole weekend shopping and such with her, my hands are full!!!
 
I want to do a 100 post GAW, but I am afraid at this rate, I might not have any knives left pretty soon. :(
 
I haven't lost a knife since I quit drinking and doing "other stuff". Come to think about it I haven't lost much of anything since then. I wonder if there was a correlation there?
Well glad you found yours. I'm not sure what I would've done if I lost a knife like your endure or any knife I owned that long. Then again I'm not too much older than that knife, so that would mean I would've had to acquire it when I was say, 5.
Yeah I was one bad to the bone 5 year old.
Ok I think I've had too much coffee tonight...

That's classic Sonnydaze...My favorite story about a lost knife goes like this. Many years ago I worked with two great men at an Archery shop. One of them had a stockman knife, that I liked very much, he told me where he bought it, and I went and got one just like it. I was using it in the shop one time a few months later, and a regular customer, who was in a hunting club with the fellow I worked with, said hey 'Don, that's a nice knife--I've got one just like it.' He proceeded to pull it out of his pocket to show me, and the guy I worked with said 'Hey Mike, where in the hell did you get that knife?' and Mike said to him 'I found it' 'where!' the question came back, and the offending fella said '...well, I found it in your bunk down at hunt camp' with that the guy I worked with walked over slapped Mike on the top of the head snatched the knife from his hand while saying 'give me my knife, sumofabitch!' Funniest thing I saw then or for a while.

Hope my rambling can bring a little humor to your sit Tripletap, and I hope you find your blades.
 
The funniest story I ever heard about losing a knife was on this very website a loooooong time ago....

The details are a little hazy, but IIRC, the guy lost his knife down the shitter! He unbolted the toilet expecting the knife to be gone down the hole forever, or maybe right there in the chute, stuck. Can't remember. It had been a while since he lost the knife. I think he said he had bought a new toilet, so he took a sledgehammer to the offending porcelain god with righteous and furious anger. There, in the middle of the debris, covered in the worst stuff you can imagine, was his lost knife. I remember it being a Microtech of some type. Maybe a Socom. His description of said event was hilarious!

I would've just said "well, that one's gone forever...."

The sad part is that now when I lose a knife, the first place I have to look is my wife's junk drawer. She has a tendency to borrow my knives and not put then back where she got them from. The last one was a SAK camper, that went missing for about 6 months, being an SAK, I figured it was gone for good, nope, in her car.
