I think I am going to be sick. I've looked everywhere. Now I am kicking myself for even carrying it because they are rarer then hens teeth. Jeesh, I feel like turd sandwich.
 
Thanks guys, I searched in all those places. This is the only place where people can understand the sting losing a long time favorite knife can have.
 
I thought my brand new Jim Dunlap mini trapper might have fallen out of my pocket, because I remember putting in my pocket along with my new A.G. Russell "Ultimate Pen Knife". I finally get home 9 hours later and it's sitting on my couch. That was a harrowing 9 hours. It was yesterday I had both in my pocket. The days are just blending together for me right now.

I hope you find yours, shiney.
 
Ouch. That does sting badly. Best of luck. The beer scout of any flavor is a special knife.

If it makes you feel any better, I once lost a mini texas toothpick in my girlfriend's car our senior year of high school. It was found 3 years later when she was cleaning it out when she was given her parents' hand me down wheels.
Thankfully, we were engaged by then:D My dad gave me that knife.

So, never lose hope.
 
Sorry man. I still bet it turns up. I have unlost more knives than I have lost.

I recently permenantly lost a SAK that I had for a long time. Not rare but it had lots of miles on it. Really bothered me. Best of luck.
 
Thanks Aaron, steely and all of you. I've still got the smooth bone ivory beerscout but it just isn't the same. But I'm carrying it anyway.

I rarely lose anything but when I do, it really sucks.
 
Check under drivers seat of vehicle you've been driving. Look carefully back and in the books and crannies under the seat and up against the center console........i found one I lost there before
 
Bummer I think the sunbrite is the nicest of the acrylics. It just seems to hold a perfect vintage vibe without trying.

It's no joke that car seats love to eat knives.
In addition to misplacing my mini toothpick in a 1993 Celica, I recently lost a knife in my truck. Just a little knife from Himalayan Imports. Tiny little bowie knife with an overall length of 10.25" :D
The dang thing slipped between my console and the tangle of wires hidden under my seat and stayed just out of view for the better part of 3 months. I only found it because I dropped a quarter down there and was 25 cents short of a fountain drink from the gas station on a hot day:D

My earnest hope is that you find it. If that is not to be, I hope whoever finds it cherishes it for what it is and appreciates the incredible fortune.

If I have to lose something I really love, the most I can hope for is that my loss brings someone else happiness.
 
My most frequent knife-eater is the pockets of my pants. I lost my Case Peanut for about a week and it was in the coin pocket of some jeans that I had laid over the back of a chair instead of tossing in the clothes hamper.

Others have ended up (courtesy of pants pockets) going through the laundry. Some clattering around in the dryer, but at least one that ended up in the rubber gasket around the door of our front-loading washer. Which has some sort of secret compartment where stuff ends up sometimes.

I had a couple of knives I thought I had lost in an office move - I searched everywhere in the boxes I moved stuff in. They were cheap knives but I hated losing them anyway. Then about a month later, I was looking for some other tools in an old work bag and found that I had put them in a zipped pocket of that bag so that I wouldn't lose them in the move. And of course, had completely forgot about where I put them.

I gave a knife to a friend who used it quite frequently for hunting, until he left it lying in a corn field in the next state after using it to clean a deer. The lady who owned the land found it two weeks later out in the corn field, and he got it back.

Try looking on any potential horizontal surface where you might have put it temporarily - on top of shelves or furniture, the fridge, inside a cabinet, anywhere you might have laid it down without thinking.

Ask your family members. I had a knife disappear for several weeks until my wife told me she had put it in the kitchen tool drawer (which I never keep knives in).

Beyond that - spend time mourning your loss, realize that it's just some metal and plastic, and learn a lesson about becoming too attached to material things. Then buy another knife.
