I threw a party last week to celebrate finishing my PhD. Got pretty wasted and managed to lose my little Case pocket slippie. Had some beautiful stag handles; sway back design. Damn! Went wandering around a field near my house with some other drunk friends. Must have fallen out there somewhere. Glad it wasn't my LE Sebbie!
 
Congrats, what is your PhD in?

Get a metal detector, you might find some other artifact while you are looking.
 
Yes, a metal detector is your only hope.
Or, are you SURE you went out in that field?? It could yet turn up....
 
Big deal. We had a geek here get drunk and manage to lose his iPhone 4G.
 
+1 for the metal detector.

Lost an old Socom in the sand at a beach camp once, and I was sure it was gone until a friend pointed out that we'd brought the metal detector. % minutes later I was digging my knife out of 8" of sand. I wouldn't have ever found it with out the detector.
 
"Got drunk, lost knife" is a hell of a lot better than "Got drunk, cut myself" thread. :) Congrats on the PhD and good luck in finding it.

I'd have to disagree. Having done both, I much prefer not losing the knife at the end of the day. ;)

Good luck finding it! Losing a knife sucks.
 
I think the metal detector would cost more than buying a new Case. Anyway the 'field' in question is a big open field with 8 soccer fields and a kids playground in my horrible, snob-filled neighborhood. I rewalked the twisty path I think I took and nothing. I think some kid probably found it. Good for them, I guess. Hope they use it in good health. That dang Case was just too darn small! No pocket clip. Just sat in my change pocket. Good excuse to buy another, I guess.

PhD is in, BTW, the very useful field of Ancient Greek and Latin literature. They're banging down my door to give me a job!

Lost in academia all those years and the only thing you need to know now....that you're done......is I like extra fries with my burger. :p

I'm just messing with you...congrats. My wife is nearing the end of her PhD quest at Temple Unv. It's a crap ton of work.

You should reward your accomplishment by buying yourself a damascus and stag Case swayback.

That's a sweet knife! You should get it for your wife! My little Case was the only knife my wife liked, mostly because it was small.
 
It could always be worse... Got drunk. Lost license. :eek:
 
Congrats on the PhD. Bummer on the knife. I have physic abilities that People ask me to use from time to time...I'm seeing your knife lying next to blades of grass.:D All joking aside, that sucks.:grumpy: Go back out there and casually look around you might suddenly notice it. Sure its not by the porcelain goddess or in the couch ? Good luck, hope you find it.:thumbup:
 
I always make sure to pack away or leave my blades at home when i drink. Ive done too many stupid things while under the influence. I gave up drinking for my RC3 :D
 
For what it's worth, I have a very, very long list of things I could say which begin with "got drunk, lost _____." You fill in the blank.

This is why I now do most of my drinking at home.
 
get a poll with and tie old speaker magnets to each end and put it over your shoulders walk around... saved ya getting a mettle detector
 
Check the inside pocket, the little one of the jacket you wore that night. Also, check under the seats of all the vehicles you rode in. Next, check underneath the bed you slept in that night, There is a saying on Blade Forums, "You always find a lost knife in the very last place you looked for it."

Congrats on your achievement. You should buy yourself a congrats knife.
 
Easy solution to this problem: Get drunk again and buy a new one! With your will power subdued by the awesome power of alcohol, you might end up with something you always wanted and never could talk yourself into.

Hope you find it and CONGRATS on the new degree!!!
 
I quit drinking and put thousands of dollars into knives. No losses except a Buck Solitaire ( when I used to drink.)
