Wow, I just didn't think I was that attached to the doggone thing.

My Mom gave me last Christmas a BM940. I have pretty much had it with me since then, and then... poof...gone...I have no idea.

I have spent the last few weeks looking, figuring it would turn up but no luck. I am generally very careful about my possessions but this has slipped by my "keen watchfulness".

To think about losing it chaps my hide.:grumpy:

Have any of you ever lost your trusted "companion" and if so how did the story end?

I have lost 3 knives in my history of knife collecting that I never found. I lost a benchmade CSK, and 2 crkt m-16edc's. The CSK was lost while climbing a muddy cliff with a friend, I had left my sheath open while using another knife, and suddenly noticed the knife was gone. Searched for many hours, but to no avail:(:(:mad::( And this was my most expensive knife at the time:eek:. Lost the first m-16edc at a cabin in tahoe, I think it slipped into one of the couches. Later lost a second one at yosemite, I think it was stolen off our camp table:(. Oh well, $160 of knife losses, and all my fault. Since then( the csk was a few years ago, the 1st m-16 2 years ago, and the last one a couple monts ago) I haven't lost any knives. I 1) make sure my fixed blades are tied with a lanyard in hard use situations, 2) make sure my clip has tightened tension springs, 3) check ever once in a while to make sure my knife is still there! I have lost a few other knives temporarily(mostly cheap ones) but they always show up. Keep searching!:)
 
Lost one for 6 months, wife found it in my suit, it was a low priced crkt, but it bugged the s*** out of me, tore the house and the car up looking for that sucker.
 
When I lose a knife, its usually to next to the driver's seat in my vehicle, or under a couch or chair cushion.


:thumbup:
 
The only knife I lost I found a week later in the parking lot of my workplace right where I park my car everyday . . . Laying on the ground in the landscape rock
 
Just lost a SAK Soldier I'd been carrying since 2002. Got my replacement in the mail today, and we're bonding, but I miss that knife. We did a lot of traveling together...

I didn't originally buy the SAK for anything other than a travel knife, and that's just what it was. Something I presumably wouldn't mind losing in my travels. I travel for work about a week per month and didn't want to risk any of my nicer slipjoints. Well I lost it on my last trip and I miss it. With the exception of one other knife I've also been carrying for years, I'd rather have lost one of my more expensive slipjoints at this point.

Nice thing about the Soldier is that it only ran me a bit over $20 to replace it. Good luck finding yours.
 
feel for your loss man,:(,,hope you end up finding it

lost my edc earlier this summer,,was a benchmade pardue mini grip ,,had it for like 2 years,,was doing an emergency fix on my truck ,lifted up the hood ,,used my knife too cut some things and in a rush ,closed the hood and left :grumpy:,,,realized it laster that night,,went back to the spot the same evening but the blade was gone,,some lucky f**k got a pretty nice blade :mad:
 
Never give up, I've found knives that were MIA 5 years later.

One sure way to find it is replace it, it'll show up in a couple of days.:D
 
Had an Emerson CQC-7 that I carried for years. Thought I lost it on a quad ride in the mountains. Put the quad on the trailer, drove a couple hundred miles home, and put it in the garage.

A few weeks later, I pulled it out of the garage and there was the knife sitting on the floorboard. It had gone down the mountain, and ridden all those miles on the trailer, without falling off....

lost my lum some how it ended up open on the third seat of my suburban???? i have no clue i looked for about a week then just said screw it then my friend was like WTF and there it was :D
 
I've lost only 1 knife (vic bantam), I lost it in the house, I found it 4months later under the couch.
 
In 50+ years of EDU - I've broken a few - but have lost a bunch.For me the clip has been a Godsend - by simply making a habit out of always parking the knife back in my jeans watchpocket - I now go years between losses. Cutting the bottom out of the pocket enables me to use even fairly large folders.
One thing that does bug me is that after a few years of use - they get real easy to sharpen.Then you leave it somewhere and have to start with a new one. Worse than that - I've developed the habit of always buying two of anything I really use ( sometimes 3!).Girlfriend says there's drugs for this!
 
I thought I had lost a CRKT Convergence so I went out and bought a SE Delica on clearance from Academy and a couple of weeks later I found the CRKT and gave it to my friend who works at HEB who needed it more than I plus I had just bought the Delica.
 
My Buck has done frequent ducks. The longest was 3 months and I replaced it. Then in the company quarters the sink was blocked and getting worse so I stripped the Ubend and cleaned it to find some colleague had borrowed it and left it in the sink for washing.

It required an over night stay in a jug of hot water and lots of dish washing fluid before starting the scrubbing and cleaning.


I recall my mum peeling apples on a long trip using my Dad's pocket knife. She tossed the peelings out the window and only some hundred miles later my Dad asked if she had cleaned the blade (carbon steel) and discovered cleaning wasn't necessary as the knife had gone out with the peelings.
 
the only knife ive ever lost was my CRKT Kiss when it first first came out...

till this day i think my brother took it. older brother.

Want to find your 940? Buy another one just like it. The old one will turn up as if by magic.

That usually works for me. I finally buy a replacement blade and, as soon as the UPS, Fedex, whatever shows up with it, the lost one surfaces.
