What's the one knife you wish you could have back that was lost/stolen/broken or beyond repair? Mine is my grandfathers 105 with the old top buttoning top flap holster
 
I've luckily never lost a knife with sentimental value. Lost a Kershaw Cryo at work (permanently borrowed) and an Endura at a hotel. I like all of my knives, so I hate to lose any of them. But if I ever lose my 940-1, I might actually be distraught!
 
As a teen I had a Kissing Crane stag handled stiletto that eventually got lost. It was a very solid lockback that looked like a switchblade, but wasn't.

Back then (1980s) I think they were made in Germany or Italy. Sure do miss that thing.
 
To tell you the truth I'd like to find my old Boy Scout knife that I had around at one time but can't find now.

Also, the Italian auto I had in high school.
 
Well I have a ZT 0801S110V that I payed $280 for that appears to have gotten lost in the mail.
 
My favorite knife, CRKT Apache II. My ex stole it from my truck the night I broke up with her. Can't find the ex, so I can't find the knife.
 
When I was in JR HS in the early 80s I picked up an OTF auto while on vacation with my family in Rocky Point. It was a different time when Mexico was relatively safe, and me and my friends were allowed to run around town and visit the shops by ourselves. We all thought it would be cool to get knives, and ended up buying a weird mix of machetes and switchblades in a little shop in town. Good times!

My dad thought my knife was really cool. When we got back to the US he showed it to his friend that was a "knife guy." The "knife guy" looked at the knife for a few minutes and told me that the knife was made in Italy and was "a damn fine tool." He borrowed if for a few hours, sharpened it, disassembled it and "made some adjustments." That knife was awesome. I must have fired it at least 5000 times. It never failed and was always tight. As I got older I lost track of that knife. I vaguely remember loaning to on of my fellow teenage juvenile delinquents so he could slash someones tires...

Anyway, I have no idea where that knife is now, but I would sure love to have it back.
 
My CS RoC bushman.
Can't for the likes of me
Know where it went
Figured it just walked out on me.

Geez fella. Are you going for the record number of threads started by a new member?

Seriously though, it would be my first knife. A vic Sak. Don't know which one. I do still have the scar on my pinky from where I stupidly stabbed a picnic table and the large blade closed on me some 25 years ago.
 
I'm 21. Just realizing I know nothing compared to you guys. And I'm naturally inquisitive. So I ask a lot of questions. It's a bad habit but I can't seem to break it
 
Read more, post less.

I've only lost one knife, years ago. It was a pre-arc lock SOG Pentagon Elite. (Liner lock).

In the last 18 months, I've bought and sold a whole lot of knives. Of all that I've sold/traded, I only regret selling my Strider SnG. Hell of a knife.

I have however, had knives go AWOL on me. This time last year I misplaced my Spyderco Gayle Bradley, didn't find it for three months. My ZT0770CF is currently doing the same thing, for about a month.
 
There's nothing wrong about asking questions as long as you read the answers and learn from them. That's what it's all about, isn't it ?
To answer this here question... No past knife makes me actually sad because they were lost because used every day and in the process forgotten, lost, broken, whatever... Although one nice Laguiole I was gifted by my parents and forgot on a bench while using it for the first time to make a sandwich... this one bugs me still a little. There are so many splendid knives out there I didn't try yet that I have plenty to look forward.

Um 8 threads in less than 2 days as a brand new member? 6 threads in less than 12 hrs? And some of these threads are just ridiculous. Yeah, maybe read more and post less.
 
There have been a few I sold that I kicked myself for just about the second I put them in the mail. The few that come to mind are as follows:
1. Kershaw Blur s30v - recently acquired another in trade.
2. Spyderco Delica ffg - on the hunt
3. Kershaw Skyline 1760 - on the hunt

Sorry he's adding content to the forums?

Probably my Benchmade 940, and a few saks.
 
I had a very nice leather handled Case fixed blade with mirror polished blade. My brother found it in the woods and gave it to me. I loved that knife. I had never seen another quite like it. And one day I lost is in the woods. The big coincidence was that I lost it right around where my brother had initially found it. Almost as if the land was reclaiming its prize.
