Losing your knife

I lose shit all the time, strangely knives is not one of those, although I thought I lost my beloved buck vantage once. it was just in a jacket pocket though. I was stoked when it turned up
 
When I was 8 I lost my Buck pocket knife. I was pretty sure it came out of my pocket in the yard, but it had started snowing and there was snow on the ground for the next four months. I still remember the rainy spring day when I was searching the puddles between the snow drifts and found my lost knife, pretty much where I thought it would be. I still have it, 36 years later.


When I was 20 I spent 6 months traveling through northern India and Nepal on four dollars a day. I had a Spyderco, which was my only sizable knife. About four months into the trip I got off a bus and bought a package of crackers. When I reached for my Spyderco to open the package, it wasn't in my pocket. I raced back onto the bus and searched my seat, then asked the girl sitting next to me if she had seen it. She said a boy found it and got off the bus. You couldn't buy a decent knife in Nepal or India at the time...they just didn't exist. I spent the next two months with only my SAK. It did the job, but I wasn't happy about it. The next eight times I went to India I carried an extra knife, sometimes two.
 
Had a Benchmade Monochrome that was my go-to EDC for years. I was at the chiropractor's office and the knife was in my jacket pocket while I was in getting adjusted. The receptionist knocked the coat rack over, my knife fell out of the pocket, and then they set it by the door (instead of keeping it back behind the desk where it would be safe), and just let some random person walk off with it. That was my first good knife too. Needless to say, I was REALLY mad.
 
i had a verizon tech at my house the other day. the SOB stole my kershaw et that was sitting on top of my dresser
 
Heres a good one. A few years back, I was at work with my Al Mar Sere 2000. Long story short, a buddy of mine got in trouble for some things he said, and management was trying to get rid of him. Among the things they told the cops about him, one was the fact that he carried a knife. I knew the cops were coming to take escort him out of the facilities, and I didn't want to be seen with my sere, so I stuck it in my half-eaten lunch leftovers, thinking I was clever.

It was also the day that somebody decided to clean out the fridge, and threw my lunch in the trash. :mad:

why were you worried? couldn't you have just stuck it in your pocket

My scrubs had no pockets (I had been carrying IWB). I was his friend and the cops actually pulled me aside to take a statement of character. I don't think we are technically allowed to have knives, but plenty of people do and nobody cares usually

Also since part of management's argument that he was "dangerous" was that he EDC'ed a knife. So I don't think they would have taken kindly to the fact I had one. Plus I panicked
 
scrubs i see, got ya. that sucks balls

i would have done the exact same thing if i was in your position
 
Yeah it really did. Only "expensive" knife I have ever lost. I have lost a few 5 dollar cheapo knives, but this is the only name brand knife I lost. My own fault though.

not really because people shouldn't be touching your s**t even if its a half eaten lunch its still your property
 
Was working in an area of the yard that had lots of brush, etc. Lost one of my BM mini Grips. Funny thing is, a couple years later I found it, picked it up and away I went. Good as the day I had it. NICE.
 
my mother ( im 16 ) put my leatherman wave and surefire g2 in with a laundry basket of folded towels and they turned up 3 months later. why she put them in a laundry basket? who knows!!!!!!!
 
I lost my Spyderco Superhawk a couple of days ago... :grumpy:

I'm getting post-operative physical therapy for my shoulder. I didn't want the therapist to be freaked by the clipped knife, so I put it in my jacket pocket. Well, turns out the jacket pocket had a large hole in the back -- perfectly positioned to let a knife drop out behind me as I walked. I didn't hear a thing, so I must have been walking on grass or other soft ground when it happened.

Lesson learned -- knives stay clipped on my person from now on, or they stay in the car.

Mirotech ludt. Happened probably 15 years ago. I have no idea i lost it. The clip on that knife was so tight that I didn't think it was possible for it just to fall out, but it did. I just hope whoever found it appreciated that it wasn't a $10 flea market switchblade.
 
Yup.. I lost two c.r.k.t. gut hook fixed blades. They were cheap but I liked them.. I took them hunting and when I came home I was in the process of moving... I still dont know if I lost them before coming home from my hunting trip or during the move.

I also lost an old slip joint of mine.. I have no clue where it went.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!
