The only knives I've lost out of a pocket (or almost lost, I have only ever lost one knife) I had clipped tip-up with a lanyard hanging out of pocket. Lanyards are good if you are not planning to clip or if you clip tip down so that the lanyard sits at the bottom of your pocket, otherwise in my experience they are more weight for slipping out and a snare hazard.Hello, my name's Bob and I'm a chronic knife loser.
To solve this problem, I don't carry anything without a lanyard.
Sounds like you need a knife with a pocket clip. Ive never lost one, but i clip my knives to my backpack, pants, shirt pocket, etc.
Pocket clips work.[/Q
People lose knives because of pocket clips all the time. Something like a Benchmade soft sheath worn on your belt is the
safest way to avoid loss of your knife. If I can't de-clip a knife for carry I won't buy it.

So, what do you guys to keep your knives safe and sound in your pocket?
I use a monkeyfist lanyard to hang my knives/knife pocket sheaths inside my front or back pocket with the ball end of the lanyard tucked under my belt. Not only are they secured, but having them hang in the pocket makes them seem weightless and they don't sink down to the bottom with the coin change or comb or whatever which I can more easily access with the knife out of the way. Just a firm tug on the knife frees it. Good Luck and I hope you find your knife after all!

(If you knife doesn't have a ring or lanyard hole, you can always punch one in its sheath. I've also used a leather drawstring pouch with the long drawstring tucked under or tied to my belt/belt loop)
Found it--in the thawing snow outside my house. The wooden handle took a little bit of beating--it separated slightly from the bolsters and rivets. I must have lost it about three nights ago in the rain--which turned to snow. So the knife got soaked. Then sat in snow for a few days--froze and thawed.

I went to their website, which model do you have? pics?
A knifecrafter might be able to peen the rivets for you thereby tightening up your knife.
It's the XS model...walnut. Like this one:
