Well I lost my new S&W knife last weekend, got it Thursday night and went to the Colorado river Friday and lost it Saturday night. It was only a 37.00 knife but it got me to thinking, I wonder if any of the guys on the forum board have lost a brand new Sebenza or Benchmade or something costing a couple of hundred dollars. Any stories?

best knife i ever lost was a BRKT Rogue Bowie while hiking around in the desert near me--some way it came out of the sheath while going thru some brush or something--looked everywhere but no luck--250.00 knife..:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
no - but one time I had purchased a brand new glock .40 cal, and not a week after I bought it I carried it to the mall to did a bunch of shopping... well when I got home it was gone. $600 bucks - out the window. oh well..someone got a nice find!:o
 
I owned a CRK Mnandi for about 3 months as an EDC, which I clip to a shirt pocket. After I finished cutting the grass it was MIA. Given that I live on 2 acres, it was MIA/presumed KIA. I love that knife so much as an EDC, I did a cursory search, came up empty and bought a new one on eBay that night. I felt naked until the replacement arrived. The next Sunday, I went to put my "yard shoes" on and lo and behold...it had fallen out of my pocket and landed in my right shoe when I changed in the garage! Needless to say I DID NOT tell my wife the knife reappeared!
 
Somone stole a small batch of 12 knives from a rental where I lived. The most expensive was probably $60, but finding replacements was a true pain-in-the-ass. It took 13 years to find duplicates of those knives - found the last one this year.

I had a CRKT M-16 CF that I lost for three months in the winter only to be found in the spring melt on my street outside my house. How it never got plowed away is beyond me. I ended up trading the knife to a friend and he ended up losing it on Mount Washington in January . I think the knife's destiny was to be lost in the snow. It wasn't a real big money knife , but pricey enough.
 
It wasn't an expensive knife, but I lost a gerber ez-out knife at work. It fell out of my front pocket of my bib overalls. I got sent to another job the next day for a month and the day I came back to the job I had lost the knife on I found it laying at the bottom of a crane column I was working on in about 2 inches of dirt and dust! :eek: I still carry the knife at work in my bibs ;)
 
I guess I've gotten lucky (or maybe I just don't own enough expensive knives). Only lost a $2 Paki folder at the beach, and also lost a nice pearl-handled penknife that was my grandmother's. Hopefully that'll turn up around the house one of these days,
 
I lost a Gerber Mark I when I was 13. The first camping trip I went on that summer. I saved can $$$ for a year and a half for that one and lost it on the first trip I....... I'm getting a "Beer" :)
 
I lost a crkt m16-02z while I was cleaning my room once,searched everywhere but couldnt find it...
 
I lost a one handed Victorinox Trekker in before it was two weeks old.
I lost a Spyderco Native III the first time I carried it. Somehow I had accumulated a massive dagen efter (once again) during the night and somehow I lost the knife while I was crawling home the next morning.
I lost a cheap Imperial folder, which was my beater at the time, after carving a pineapple at a private party at a remote restaurant. Was one of the few beaters I had at the time, so it was kinda inconvenient. But I in a way embarrased myself that night, so I never bothered to make inquiries. :rolleyes:

So nothing really expensive (even though spydercos are ridiculously expensive here), but annoying nevertheless. I don't carry anything I might be afraid to break or loose.
 
I loaned a stag Puma bowie to my sister years ago, and somebody stole it from her. The only one I've ever lost personally was Schrade Old Timer 125OT, no big financial hit, but I sure did like the knife.
 
A couple of years ago I lost a Spyderco Military I'd owned for years :(.

In trying to replace it I found Ebay, I bought 3 :D that day.

Then researching a purchase (another knife) I found Bladeforums, I've been here ever since.

Hated loosing that knife, but it opened up a world I didn't know existed.
 
I've lost (or had stolen) quite a few.

The one that bugs me the most was a small K-bar brand very similar to a Little Finn. My dad gave it to me when I was 10 and starting to some serious backwoods treking. My first sheath knife.

I lost it the second or third day later, on a hike, unused except to gather a few tail trophies from slow moving squirrels.

I looked for it for a year, but I spent a lot of that hike in water and probably lost it there.
 
I used to have a real nice SAK, this was when I was in high school between '98 and '01- and I brought it to school even though it was probably against their policies. Actually I knew it was strictly against the rules but that knife was so dang handy.
So anyway in '02, a mentally disturbed 9th grader scrawls a bomb threat on the inside of a bathroom. Now they knew who did it, and they arrested him and stuff, and we all knew he couldn't really bomb the school, but Principal D-ickless decides, lets have a MEDIA EVENT. So they bring in these metal detectors for the front doors, and man them with volunteers to search bags (old nosy women) and also to watch students going to the bathroom. Because, you know, that will prevent them from writing copycat bomb threats at all since the last one was in the bathroom.
So I show up and there is a line and I see metal detectors and old women sticking their noses into backpacks. I take my knife and drop it behind a tree in the wooded area next to the school, and cover it with a few leaves. Never saw it again... dang thing was only 2 years old... then I graduated from that freaking place and upgraded to a Kershaw Scallion...
 
I temporarily lost my Kershaw Onion Leek within 60 minutes after receiving it brand new from the mail.

I was in the parking lot, opened the package in my car, and it popped out of my hands (butterfingers) underneath the passenger seat of my ML-320 (which are not designed to easily allow access to the underside). It stayed there for at least a half-day, and I was getting worried about it.

Finally, I got a hanger and got it back. Whewww!
 
Let's see. I very recently "lost" someones brand new EVO, I replaced it with an M16-13M I got cheap at the flea market. I had been saving it for a gift.

That one was for Kit

I think I'll save the EVO to be gift for someone I really hate. That dosen't happen too often.

The someone was a good person and I didn't think it was right for them to be carrying a spawned-from-an-unethical-bastard-demon-pos knife.
 
I lost my Leatherman Charge in tall grass this summer. I agonized over it for several days until I could make it back to the store for another.
