Found my knife!

[Colog]

I lost a small Damascus UG Sebenza over a year ago. I have no idea how I lost it. Last thing I did was cut up an apple. Went to bed, got up next morning and it was gone. I all find myself looking for it from time to time.

Whoa.... dude. You bought a $500.00 folder and then turned around and carried it like a regular pocket knife? Talk about disposable income. Not to add insult to injury but do you feel smarter now? Thats what $30.00 Kershaw are for.

To each his own. If I'm dropping that kind of coin on a knife it sure isn't gonna collect dust. I use my knives especially the expensive ones.

But to stay on topic, I lost my first knife ever in NYC, which was a benchmade presidio ultra. This was before I got into knives and knew what I was really buying. I ordered a replacement within ten min after I knew it was gone.

I feel your pain. I lost a large silver dog paws sebenza earlier this year. I have yet to find it. It's one thing to lost a $40 buck 110, it's another to lose a $500 + folder. I am still holding out hope I will find it and it's just misplaced. I have looked for it almost every day since. It's been 3 months now

Have you tried getting a friend or someone else to help you search for it? I think that it's hard to stop thinking, and searching, for it in places that you *think* you might have lost it; as in, it's hard to go about this logically, or broaden your perspective of where it might be, and search for it accordingly. As in, to use one of the previous examples here; you go for a walk, and when you come home, you realize your knife is missing. You retrace your walk, thinking it got lost on the walk -- and it turns out it's in the car. Perhaps you thought that it was pointless to search for it in the car, since that would have been too easy, or whatever. Maybe you even looked for it, briefly, in the car, but you spent all your energy on searching for it on the lengthy walk.

In any case, it's hard, or almost impossible, to start searching in the places where it actually might be; you need to ask someone else, someone with a different perspective on the situation, someone "unbiased", who can think logically about the situation. You might think that you can, but in order to do so, you'd need to stop caring about finding it; which is not very likely. It's like remembering a word, or a name; the more you think about it, the harder it becomes. It's not until you stop thinking about it that you remember.

Why spend $30 on a knife when you can go to Harbor Freight Tools and get a $5 "Survival Knife" with a floppy nylon sheath? It's made in Taiwan, I hear they're great...

one time I lost a knife in my backyard and then found it months later.

I had a vintage USA Gerber multi tool in mint condition that I lost in my front yard, I guess somebody saw it and picked it up before I could find it and I was so pissed that I never found it.

You go boy! I use all my knives too. Especially the expensive ones! The risk of loss is always there no matter the cost. It sucks losing any knife really.

Well great. I found my knife but I've lost my mind.

Lost a William Henry, for a while. Thought it fell out of my pocket, and was resigned to the fact that it was gone. Found it later in the console of our mini-van. Truly a joyous day!
