Knives MIA

[CD Fleischer]

We are knife people. We buy them, sharpen them, lubricate them, and...

... occasionally lose them.

So what knives have you lost?

Presently, the only one I have missing in action is my large ascent. For this I am very happy, as I like it least of my folders and is easily replaceable. I can't tell you how many times I have lost my SAK or Delica and it has managed to find it's way back to me.

Anyone lose one they miss?

PS do I get an Bladeforums award for most angst-ridden thread?

I have a Boker 'Titan' a titanium scaled lockback, which is small and thin. The Ti scales allowed it to slip out of my pants pocket several times; although I always (eventually) recovered it from the recesses of the furniture or car seats, I finally put it in a nylon pouch to curb its' wayward tendencies.

I used to have a Gerber LST and one of those Tekna keychain knives, both lost in the mists of time. The one I miss was a Imperial barlow from my Grandfather, it was the first knife I ever fixed. The tip of the main blade had broken off, so i sharpened into a mini-chisel. I still believe that it's somewhere in my house, but more likely it's gone.

I lost one of those tiny little CS key chain knives.I ca`nt remember what they we`re even called.It was pretty handy but does`nt even come close to my Micra for sheer utility.

I lost an EK double edged knife while in the Marines. It had a Deset Camo Cord Wrap and a cool sand colored sheath. I would give a lot to have that knife back! I carried it in Somalia and used it for EVERYTHING! I have no earthly idea what happened to it! I think it was "borrowed" from my deuce gear and never returned!
It drive me crazy just thinking about it!!!!!

I miss my micra with a passion. It was very nice to have all those tools in a compact size. To Carver: there called Tuff Lites.

I haven't lost any knives permanently and I try to keep all of them somewhere I can find them. But I've "lost" temporarily a cheapo lockback and a plastic scale of another one while I was vacuum cleaning them after they got into a blizzard of broken glass (and that stuff was EVERYWHERE). After the knife slippid in there, I thought "D'oh, I'm gonna hold the next one real tight" and I couldn't believe the whole thing was happening after the scale came off of the next one. I was too angry to leave them inside the vacuum cleaner, so I dug them up.

My two bits,

I haven't lost too many knives, in fact, I have had one that I couldn't lose. It was My Gerber LST. If it dissappeared from my pocket, it was bound to show up in a week. I lost it on a camping trip once, and I thought ut was a gonner, but it showed up at home a few days later. I still have it here....somewhere.....

I lost a Kershaw Black Colt a few months ago and I'm still brooding wondering where the hell it went to. Funny Clay, I was just thinking about this today and I see your thread.

I can't tell you how ticked off I feel when I think about it. Imagine if I lost an expensive knife?

I lost a Gerber Silver Knight at a movie theater in Brazil, several years ago. Rats. And it was a terrible movie too.
