First, I lose my ParaMilitary to PD
Now, I lost my ZDP Delica. It rode unclipped inside the watch pocket. I took off my pants, put them back on and its gone..ARG...

Do I have to make a sacrifice to the knife gods or something?
 
No, you just have to watch where you take off your pants. :)

And in both cases, carrying in the bottom of a main pocket would have saved you the loss.
 
These past two months have been sheer bad luck for me..
Got on a subway train that proceeded to go brakes in emergency 5 times in 4 weeks..
Dropped my rarest cigars onto the ground of my flooded basement
BARELY passed two of my final exams
Can't seem to get in contact with my friends..
Can't seem to find a summer job..

Guess when you're at the bottom, theres no where to go but up
 
I just lost a Red case stockman. I am just getting back into slippies and one runs away on me. Should I stick with the tacticals? At least the knife was not that old. With a few exceptions the longer I have a knife the more important it is to me.

No,
And you forgot the biggie ... you live in NY ...
GOD has no mercy for NY'ers ....
Anyway, ust buy another one, and develop an awareness of what is in your surroundings.
 
I tried carrying in the pocket, but it scratches my phone and my mp3 player. I also didn't want the clip to get marred up..ack

Ah, just remove the coating on the clip! A bit of acetone and a Dremel with a wire brush will make it look quite foxy. ;)
 
I hear that psychics can help.

Find the knife and take it to a reputable pyschic. She should be able to tell you where it is immediately. They're amazing.

Dear Mr. GarageBoy,

Sir, you have over fortyeight hundred posts .

You should know EDC knives don't get marred, they gain character.
 
Bad luck man, just plain bad luck. Are you sure you dont want me to make you a lanyard for your next EDC knife? If your afraid of the knife scratching up yur stuff then you could always keep in IWB with the lanyard sticking out.
 
Not to sound TOO flaky, it may be that if it had enough character of its own, it felt they needed to be elsewhere. Gear can have karma to. :)

Either that, or it took one look at the luck you've been having and decided to get out while the getting was good. I just hope for your sake, that's not the case.
 
I FOUND IT! It was sitting in my recycling bin across the room. I lost one of my old cellphones and was looking for it and dug it out..

Yes, I'm CURED!
 
Hey GB, how did you lose the paramilitary? Does PD mean police department? That would be a bummer..........Glad you found the ZDP!!
 
I've found the best way to carry a folder is IWB (in waist band). I can carry up to a 5'' closed folder comfortably that way. The knife is clipped so it's inside my pants with the clip going over my pants, not the belt. I'm righty so I like to have it clipped just to the right of the first belt loop on the right side of the pants fly. If you have a gut, this carry method doesn't work. The knife is totally concealed and easily accessible. You won't lose your knife and it won't be confiscated by the police. You can't tuck in your shirt though or the clip will be visible.
 
AF, you can tuck in your shirt if you carry IWB at 4:00, just behind your arm. The shirt blouses out over most knives. Even when I took off my jacket, no one in the office noticed it.
