I lost my 14 today:(
Story time: Me and my cousin have some time this weekend so we've been running bank poles(about twenty or so), its something we like to do in our spare time and hey, I like fried catfish:) we ran them last night and took the bait off during the day like we usually do. 8:00 pm rolled around a bit ago so it was about time to bait em back up. We were hesitant on going because of how terrible the bugs are right now but went anyways. By the time we got to the other bank I realized that was the wrong decision... there was just solid bugs in the air. I'm talking a hundred per sqaure inch here. You couldn't breathe without getting them in your mouth or nose. We put bandanas around our faces and pulled into the bank anyways to bait the few we had at that spot. I got off the boat and started running to get this over with. Not a good idea with a rooty ground. I tripped and fell. So I'm laying there choking on bugs and not caring about anything but finishing those poles and getting the hell out of there. We proceeded at a panicked pace like this until all were baited, and long story short we get back and I realize my 14 is not in the comfy leather pants I made for her a while back anymore. I haven't looked on the other bank yet as its pointless with it being dark now and full of bugs but it could be anywhere... including the ~15 holes we have poles in, but is probably where I fell. Ill check tommorow when its light and update any progress.

I sure hope I find it because I just put handle scales on it a few weeks ago:(
 
That is a sickening feeling, it's also why I have multiples of both the 11 AND the 14. Course if you don't find it tomorrow that is a good reason to order yourself a 24. :D
 
As sad as it sound,i know you ll find it...if not as cbear said,good opportunity to get a 24.... And last,get kydex in the field vs leather,i know leather's cool but kydex WORKS
 
Well, you've got to replace it with a new 14, 11 and 24.

And find the one you lost today.

That ought to help you feel better.

Seriously, I feel your pain. Within an hour after snapping this pic, I lost this knife. It wasn't my first to go in the drink. It happens , just be glad it wasn't an out of production model.

 
I will agree with all of the above. The best way to get over the loss of a knife is to get a new one (or two or three) :)

I hope you end up finding it! good luck on the hunt!
 
Well damn. I didn't find anything:mad: Got three nice cats this morning though. One around 4 lbs, the other two are more like 7 lbs so thats a plus.
O well, I guess its an excuse to see how well an 11 will fit in my hands:D I'll keep an eye out for it anyways when the river goes down...maybe I'll find it someday.

I guess the river gods prefer their sacrifices in the form of beckers.:D

Yeah I didn't even have a retention strap on it, just tight fit so maybe I was asking for it.
 
Disappointing....but exciting. Now you can sample the 24 or the 11 with some Kydex. Of course, you'll still need to replace the 14...just as GP.
