Knife you have lost.

A CTS-204P para 2 Sprint on a 20 mile hike, and a cpm-s90v para 2 through the mail, probably stolen by roommates or neighbours out of the mail box

Losing that PM2 would really hurt... I'd call in the FBI to find that one... well, almost...
 
I lost my Buck 110 (an old one, I think it is older than me) that my mother gave me for Christmas, somewhere at my parents house, they have about 20 acres of woods between there place and the gov't land next door. That was three years ago, six weeks ago, my little brother hands me a stack of knives to sharpen, and lo and behold, there is my Buck 110, he found it somewhere on the property. Needless to say I took it back.

Four weeks ago, my little brother lost my grandpas old Case fixed blade out on the property while clearing trails and cleaning up fire hazards. I went out three days later and scoured all 20 acres of brush and woods until I found it, I think we're even now. I also gave him a new sheath, so it won't fall out again.
 
I lost my ZT 0566FDEBW Serial# 0303 last week. I looked everywhere in my house, my truck, started asking people at work if anyone had picked it up. I had written it off as gone and then a buddy texted me today and said "Guess what I found..." Needless to say, it's been a bad week until today.

Blue scales — maybe a Cub Scout knife? They typically had 3 blades (to the Boy Scout's four blades): main, awl, and cap lifter/screwdriver. Missing was the can opener.

Yes I was a cub scout.1969 or1970 So i guess you are correct. Thank you for your expertise. I cant remember what blades it had but apparently you do. thanks again ABB
 
I don't lose knives, they're just misplaced. Eventually I find them, I found one 8 years after I misplaced it,(it was tied to the inside of my canoe). That being said I lost my wallet last year and what looked me was inside was my custom Pat Crawford Framelock and my Masserin Stamascus Spirit, a gift from an old member here. Those are lost and who ever found my wallet got a good haul that day, between knives and money they got about $1300. :( those are the only two knives I'll consider lost, all the rest still have hope. ;)
 
I lost my CRK Pro Soldier on an adventure trip to find an abandoned WW2 Japanese shrine. It was clipped to the back of my pack during the hike but it fell out of the sheath. The retention of that sheath is really weak. I still have that sheath but the knife is lost forever [emoji17] Being military trained, I m taught to secure my gears in the wild but I got complacence I guess.
 
About five years ago I bought a Bark River Gunny with olive wood scales and sandvik stainless steel.

The wood came raw and unfinished and I hated the thumb ramp/fire steel striker, but otherwise it was a beautiful knife.

I finished the wood with, of all things, super glue, which came out OK but made the wood look like plastic.

In either case, I never really used or reached for it.

Finally, about a month ago, I had a friend grind off the ramp and then I sanded off the glue and just started oiling the handle. Suddenly I really loved the knife.

A week ago my brother, an aspiring knife guy, asked if I'd ever want to trade him anything for a knife. I knew that he liked the gunny so, rather than do a trade, I just gifted him the knife, telling him that I wanted him to have it because I knew he would give it a good home.

That very evening while he was biking home from a BBQ it slipped out of his messenger bag.

He called me the next day and felt terrible, and I can't blame him because, like me, he's really careful about things like that and I feel like it could have happened to anyone.

Still though...ah! It was a first production run knife too! What a bummer!
 
The first one that I thought I had lost was a Kutmaster 2 blade Pioneer Seed Company advertising knife that my father gave me in the mid-60s. In 1969, the knife went missing. 27 years later, in 1996 my parents were getting rid of an old sofa bed. When we opened it and took the mattress out to lessen the weight, that little Pioneer fell out.

The second knife loss was a small stainless steel single blade lock back, made in Japan and sold by some marketing company out of New Jersey. The marks were STAINLESS over JAPAN on one side and "some company name" over NEW JERSEY on the other. The tackle box it was in was lost when our boat flipped over hitting a ginormous wake put out by a house boat on Lake Travis.

My third lost knife was a Buck 482. Last summer I was replacing all the insulation in the attic. I would cut the bundles open, separate the batts and roll them up tight and tie a string around the so they would fit through the opening in the ceiling into the attic. It was easier using a folder than a fixed blade so I had the Buck with me to cut the strings. One time when I went to cut a string after mucking the rolls from the opening to the next area to be redone, no knife in my pocket. Searched for it but couldn't find it and there are too many nails to successfully use a metal detector. :(

I have a few knives "temporarily misplaced" in a couple of boxes that haven't been unpacked from a move or 3 out in the warehouse. Someday.....
 
I've lost a really old Ontario combat knife when I jumped out to help with a bad traffic accident (this one hurt the most). Also lost a Kershaw blur when I was on a traffic stop (not so bad cause I had two) still wasn't happy.
 
2 Spyderco Endura 1's, 3 or 4 Delica 1's, Case Russlock not even 24 hours after i got it, and a multitool i really liked.
 
Micarta Seb insingo. I know exactly where I left it and it wasn't there when I went back to look
 
Both my GEC 72 and T.A. Davison have been lost in the car and I promptly searched for them until I found them.
 
I lost three knives at once. Don't know how. A puka with a brass horse head pommel and blue plastic handle that I got at the Camp Lejeune base exchange while doing basic training at Camp Geiger. A WW1 bayonet with aluminum handle. Paid three dollars for it in 1960. A Case hunting/sheath knife I got for Christmas in about 1958. Think about them every now and then. Wish I at least knew what happened to them.
 
I had a Buck 112 stolen out of my Ford when it was in the shop for a brake job. Thirty plus years ago and I still get mad when I think about it. That was the knife I carried when I bagged my first deer on a hunt with my father. Both the knife and my father are long gone.

Of course the mechanic denied everything. Now days, I would skip going to the worker and just go straight to the owner of the auto shop and explain everything with the attitude that if the mechanic steals from a customer, he is also probably stealing from the owner too.

Possibly as a "lost" box on a PCS move. I only had one box lost during multiple PCS moves, but it was the one with all my back tax records. The box was recorded as being picked up, but not there when my stuff was unloaded. Speculation was it got left at one of the previous drops. For those of us without a full truck load ofmstuff, the military shippers combine multiple "short" loads. Insurance wouldn't cover mine because they said "tax records have no tangible value". Yeah, right. Try telling the IRS that. :(
 
Lost my Buck Rush up hunting when I was 14 or 15, I lost a CRKT m60 SOTFB in a poker game if that counts?
And I let my former friend borrow my Buck Vantage Force Pro for work one day (Just after I had stripped it and "waved" it.) It was a Christmas present from my mother, and he left it on a bag of feed and somebody stole it. (That ended the friendship).
 
I lost my Kershaw Leek and found it almost two years later in my tennis bag. I was pretty ecstatic!
 
I lost a Spyderco Delica (c11 I think) from the late 90s. I know it's friggin tucked away someplace. Probably someplace I put it so I wouldn't lose it...

I also lost USA made Schrade LB7 from 1982.... That one, amazingly resurfaced. I cleaned er up and put a wicked edge on it. It's a great heavyweight folder.
