Knife you have lost.

I dropped a camo para 2 in the woods 2 weeks ago... i had an idea where i dropped it but as u can guess the camo was not helping :p. Made me see the benefit of brightly colored handles lol.

A week later i decided it was gone, and went and traded for a new one. Welp found it a couple days ago and now i have 2. Not that its a bad thing but makes me wish i wasnt such an impatient guy :o
 
I "lost" a Swiss Army (large blade and corkscrew) that I used to "carry" in my P/U truck in the door pocket. One day went to use it and just gone... Well a year or so later TSA found it in the airport at the bottom of my computer bag, under the bottom cushion... Didn't even recall putting it in that bag...

Now i believe Barry Switzer when he says he didn't recall leaving the gun in his carry on...

Losing a knife is one thing I can understand, but thieves are not to be taken lightly.
 
I left a Kershaw Clash in the center console of a car I traded in. Went back the next day but the knife had already found a new owner.
 
Lost a Benchmade grip while out with the guys at a strip club was sick to my stomach some strippers old man got a new knife. A few days later we found it in the truck was the only knife I've ever came close to losing.
 
About two years ago a Queen Country Cousin of mine went missing. No idea what happened to it, looked all through the house and the car without any luck. A few days ago my phone fell out of my pocket while I was driving and as I looked under the seat a hint of brass caught my eye: The dang sodbuster that went missing two years ago! There was quite a bit of surface corrosion on the brass and blade and some gunk, but a little Barkeeper's Friend pretty well took care of the majority of it. Been in my pocket since, I'm real happy to have it back.

I've lost and misplaced several knives over the years. The one I remember and regret losing the most was the first model Spyderco Delica. The knife had just come on the market and I bought one at a local gun show along with one of the model 203 Sharpmakers. I hardly owned it a month and I left it on the bumper of my truck while opening bags of ice to fill a chest prior to a weekend camping trip. A few months later, at another gun show, the same vendor was back with a Spyderco display and I bought an Endura. I used that knife for over a decade before retiring it. But I still kick myself for losing the Delica.

(I used to be a pipe smoker. Ask me about the pipes I've lost over the years. On second thought, don't ask.)
 
I lost a Benchmade triage black sheepsfoot plain blade with the orange grips. Absolutely loved that knife. Even got to use it for what it was made for which made it extra cool for me. But that's the only knife I've ever outright lost. I've had some cheaper ones stolen. But never lost one before that triage.
 
I get sick to my stomach when I think about the Switchblades I've lost or broke throwing at trees as a kid.
They were everywhere around the house. A small fortune today. I hope that makes you guys feel better.
 
I've always been really good at NOT loosing things . That said , just about this time last year I lost my long time carry , my Spyderco Native while on a camping trip in Algonquin Park .
I'll not be finding that one :-(
 
Lost my Camillus USN Mark 2 while serving aboard the recommissioning of the USS Midway (CVA-41). I was assigned to a work party repairing and splicing cable and non-skid on the look out tower just below the main bridge. I accidently kicked it and can still visualize it, in slow motion, on the way to the bottom of San Francisco bay. That was in 1971 and I still miss it.

I lost what was, for years, my favorite knife - (my) Microtech Lightfoot LCC. I was confident it would be found; but, after a few years, that confidence faded. I began to look for a replacement, but could never quite bring myself to make the purchase.
Today, cleaning up in the basement (got some water with a recent storm), my girlfriend found it while going through a box that had gotten wet. There were a couple of knives there; but everything stopped when I saw that one. I brought it upstairs, disassembled it, then soaked the liners, blade, and washers in penetrating oil. The rust on the blade, for the most part, cleaned up fairly easily after the soak. I had to sand one liner, and the washers; but it could have been sooo much worse.
It isn't perfect; but it's a 15 yr old used knife. Something tells me that some of my newer purchases just went into retirement.



Still some work to be done, as seen here


I bought this knife, new, 15 yrs ago - it's good to have it back

That is a very cool design. They should bring that knife back into production!
