It seems that my Micarta Jester is playing a joke on me. It has apparently grown legs and run off. This afternoon, I needed to cut open a food package, reached into my pocket...not there. Checked my other pants...not there. Checked my computer desk...not there.

I tried to retrace my steps. I haven't left the house since late morning, since it has been raining all afternoon. The last time I remember having the knife was when I was doing laundry. My washing machine is misbalanced and rattles around during the spin cycles. So, I listen for the rattling and run downstairs to sit on the washer until the spin cycle ends. This prevents it from banging against the wall and moving across the floor. As you might imagine, there isn't much to do while sitting on a washer, so I was admiring my Jester. It really is a very cool knife, great design, and incredibly light.

My house is small, and I looked all over, so I can't imagine where it is. Oh well, maybe my knife will show up when it is ready to be found. At least I know it's inside somewhere...:)
 
Your Jester is at the same place where that one sock always goes after the laundry is done and you end up with 7 socks.:D.
 
Hey...

If you would have had your Jester in an On/Scene Tactical Micro rig,, you would still have it now :)

My son mosplaced his knife recently. He checked the couch several times. Then, one evening, I noticed he left a knife on the armrest of the coach. :mad: Anyway, I told him to look in the couch again. He reached his arm all the way inside and guess what? There it was. ;) So check thoese hard to reach spots very carefully.
 
A lot of times stuff that falls out of your pocket takes a weird jump and ends up underneath things. Look under your refrigerator, stove and all furniture.

Also look in the most ridiculous places where you'd never think you'd leave your knife... in a cupboard, a drawer or in the freezer. Sometimes that's where they end up.
 
:confused: :D

Hey fellas, mystery solved, sort of. I put on my slippers, and...what the heck is that? My Jester was wedged down inside the toe of my slipper.

You were all kind of on the right track. The best I can come up with is this: I was lying on the couch watching a movie. Maybe I was playing with my knife, or maybe it slid out of the pocket, I don't remember that at all. From the couch, it landed in my slipper. Yesterday afternoon I must have carried the slippers downstairs, not worn them, otherwise I would have noticed. At that point, it slid into the toe. That's the only explanation I have. I still think the thing grew legs for awhile though.

Happy to have my knife back.

Hey Normark, maybe it is time to give you a call. Your rigs would prevent accidental loss, but would they help absent-mindedness? I would need a sheath sized for a Becker Brute so as not to misplace it, but that would look kinda strange with the Jester in it...:D
 
...So, did you find any lost socks in that slipper, along with the Jester?.:D.:D.
 
Good thing it wasn't open

Yes, that would have been a tough one to explain in the emergency room.

Nope, but I know what you mean. I wear my socks until they have holes in them, then buy a dozen packages on sale somewhere - all the same size, color, and style. That way, I don't have to worry about matching pairs or chasing down the escapees.
