Disappearing Knife

I lost a blue Delica a few years ago..... still looking!! I went in vacation to the beach.....had it in my pocket.....did not want to take it and get sand in the action. Put it somewhere safe.....but not in the safe..... never saw it again.....

Back in ‘74 I had the chance for a trip to Europe. I left my new wristwatch here in the US for safekeeping. It was not found again for over ten years. When it was found, I put it away and have never seen it since.

I guess I’m in good company.
 
sounds like a job for...

Happened with a Leatherman multi tool. It went missing for years, until one day I dumped out my Camel-pak and guess what fell out!?!

I was very happy... and I put it back in the same bag that kept it safe for so long, ready to go at a moments notice.

I lost my first Spydie and still have the box as a reminder from about 18 years ago , EDIT: Just looked at the box and it’s stamped 2/27/01 lol so it was almost exactly 18 years ago and I’m still re-living it and punishing myself :) Recently lost a Another Spydie ManBug V-Toku 2 during carry and it must of slipped out of my watch pocket .
I think your situation is worse finding the box and then opening it up and it’s gone :eek:

Hope you find the Ladybug, Taylor. One of my key ring knives - Vic Classic in the pic below - has been MIA for a few months now. It will show up some day, but until then, yes I've managed to lose a knife that glows in the dark.

Many years ago, I was doing a little day hike on the AT with a friend. When we got back to the car, my buddy's Buck 112 wasn't in the sheath. We'd used it at lunch. Several months (years?) later, we had a chance to return to the log we'd sat on for lunch. Cleared the leaf litter under the log and there was the Buck. Not much worse for wear either.
 
I am also currently missing a Spyderco. One of the first gen karambits, before they did the Karahawk.

What did I need it for? Nothing. When it was "found" I barely thought about it. Now that it's lost, I think of it much more frequently.

Good luck with the search, Taylor! :)

I was looking for a screwdriver that got misplaced at work Monday and found my alox cadet I lost 3 months ago.:)
Still missing my favorite screwdriver though :(

I looked for ages when I misplaced my Alox Cadet. Then my daughter informed me that I had given it to her so that she would have a suitable knife to use in the doctor's office where she works.

Recently, I was cleaning out an old drawer in my entryway cabinet that used to hold my knives. I stumbled across a Spyderco box to be specific a Ladybug in Hap40. Open the box no knife....I search everywhere for this lil bugger can't find the dang thing. Show pictures of the knife to my wife and son...they remember the lil orange knife but don't remember when they saw it last. Dang it! This was a cool lil blade! I had totally forgotten all about the knife but now that I remembered having it and carrying it a handful of times I wish I could find it!

TLDR: had knife forgot I had knife can't find knife

Has this ever happened to anyone here?! So frustrating!

I lost an Al Mar autumn goose hunting in a corn field and found it turkey hunting the next spring. I was using the same blind for both.--KV

Yes. It's in the house. It will show up when you least expect it..not when your looking for it.

Most anyone that owns more than one knife occasionally misplaces them. The Ladybug will turn up. Since you don't use it, what does it matter anyway? I misplace firearms.... for years sometimes..... figure that one out..... Does it bother me? Sometimes. But as long as I believe they weren't stolen, I'm okay with that.
 
Oh that makes me uneasy. Our situations are most certainly different but I try to keep a close eye on firearms. I can see someone coming to visit and accidentally discovering one and either adopting it or going off the political deep end... I have a diverse group of acquaintances, some I don't particularly trust and the rest have no idea of my firearm interests (that hobby runs deeper than knives) People are weird nowadays, weirder than past. If they aren't who they seem, they have such polarizing extreme views it pays to keep to ones self and keep a close eye ones things. A knife or some other item is one thing for me but a firearm better be exactly where I put it and its location is etched in my brain through routine.

Guns are for the most part where I put them. But if you don't shoot them, memory fades and they become "misplaced". It also depends on how many you're talking about.... 1 or 2, 10 or 20, 100 or 200.... makes a big difference. I don't worry about knives much really. I have more than I need and if one gets misplaced, I have another to take it's place. Very few people actually enter my home other than family.
