Have you ever lost a knife?

[Nbrackett]

It was.

Oh no.

That sucks.
Send me a message on Monday NOLA

This still bugs me 15 yrs later. I didn't lose it...but I lost it. It was in the box; then it wasn't. I'm certain that the son of an ex-gf snatched it when he helped her move out for the last time (there was a reason she never let him come to the house - he was a thief)

Yes. Five and a half years ago, about 18 miles up this valley from the car, which was off in the distance. I didn't discover it was missing until it was too late to turn back. If I hadn't lost the knife, I wouldn't have discovered Fiddlebacks. So no regrets.

What cool story how you discovered Fiddlebacks.

 

[joarthur]

Thanks, cbach8tw. Somewhere in that valley is a lesser knife, that before Fiddlebacks I'd thought was good enough.

 

[Bmurray]

what knife was it actually?

A tiny, superlight pocket knife, just enough to slice cheese and cured meats. Back then I took long backpacking trips in the mountains and carried as little as possible.
