How often have you lost a knife?

[Murphenstein44]

Never lost a knife, but flashlights, man I can't keep em'. I left a Streamlite in a rental car in San Antonio, I lost a foursevens preon in my move back from law school, all in the last year or two.

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. I lost a Protac 2AAA because a loose loop of thread on a jacket must've caught on the clip and pulled it out of my pocket. One night, the loop of thread was broken and my flashlight was gone.

My first Sebbie was taken by my brother who thought it was a cheap knife and he lost it in the fields of Ft. Hood. My mini7 has been lost and found more times than I can count, so has my large Sebbie. Although, it's still missing atm. /sigh.

Lost my first knife that I took the time to do research on, my Kershaw Skyline. Been trying to be real careful since. @Corwise- Ouccchhh, I feel for you brother. The mini-tank is my first and by far most anticipated grail.

Never. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I've been very fortunate to have not lost many. I think that over the years I may have lost 3. That is a number I can live with.

I feel very badly for my wife. She lost her absolute favorite knife. It was a Kershaw Boa with the multicolored handle scales. She lost it a few years ago and she still feels bad about it. She brings it up pretty often. BTW - if anyone had one to spare, I would be eternally grateful and I would pay a more than fair price! It would make my lady's day...

@AntDog- Saw that Kershaw Boa with the multicolored handles on eBay... just checked back and they have a couple still up for grabs, man.

Thank you very much for the heads up sir! I gotta snag one for her.

I lost many early Spydercos by clipping them in my pocket, probably one a year for 6 years. Learned my lesson there, now they can just roll around with the change in there.

I once handed a doorman at a bar my Spyderco Dyad to hold for me, because I didn't want to hike all the way back to my truck. I forgot it when I left, and upon returning the next day, no one could produce it. What can you do?

I haven't lost one in about 8 years though.

On a side note, I have a funny story. I went out shooting with a friend of mine who I rarely see one day. We took my truck. He had a really nice Taurus pistol with him. The next day he called and asked me to search my truck for it. I did with no results. Again, he called a few weeks later insisting that it must be in my truck, and again I searched and could not find it.

He ended up going thru a divorce and I have only run into him a few times since. One day I was visiting the local pawn & gun one day years later and talking with the owner (a mutual friend). I told him the story about the missing pistol. "Oh, he found it!" he said. I told him that I wish he had called and told me, since I had searched for like Hell for the thing. He told me that he was probably too embarrassed. My buddy who is rather short in stature, along with his parents, had went to his mother's house after I dropped him off. He apparently laid his pistol on top of the refrigerator, where it was found 18 months later.

I have only lost one knife, my Victorinox Huntsman Blue Translucent, must be like 5 years ago. Got it as a gift from my uncle when I was 10, and it was my favourite knife ever. It was pretty sad, it had a lot of sentimental value and was the knife I used the most and always carried. For me it was the perfect knife and still is, but for some reason I have not bought a new one. I will some day though.
