Misplacing your knife after a long day...

Yesterday was a long day. I teach a night class on Thursdays after work. I gave a test, went back to my office, graded, and entered them. I headed home to find that my wife and kids were still at an athletic banquet at 8:45 p.m. and that my oldest had a ton of homework (she really struggles in history and I have to help her), my youngest has a edible project to get done, and my wife has to stay after the banquet for a booster club meeting.

So, I pick up my kids and we head home to get homework knocked out and all is well. I wake up this morning and get ready for work. I'm a creature of habit and generally put my EDC stuff in one of two places. Everything is there but the Chief. I go to my other spot and it's not there either. I check my pants from yesterday and it's not there either. I ask my wife and kids "have you seen my knife?" None of them had. I felt the biggest pain in my stomach. Where could it have been? Did it slip out of my pocket in class or in my car? I go to check the car and there it is. I forgot I used it to open a box and sat it in my cupholder when I was done.

The thing I'm terrified of and read on this site from time to time almost was a reality this morning. It's funny what a long day will do to you.

I own and operate a small printing company - I know nothing other than long days. That said, I have misplaced knives a number of times and always hate the panic. Never lost one permanently thankfully.

I've only lost 1 knife that I can remember and it wasn't anything expensive. It's never a good feeling but is extremely rough when it's a CRK.
 
I hate that! It's always breaking the rule" Put the knife back in the left front pocket when done cutting!" Super sick feeling when I slap that pocket and it's not there! At work all the guys/gals help each other out with knives, keys, etc! All guilty from time to time.
 
Next evolution in knives. RFID in the scales for just this situation.
 
The worst feeling is misplacing it and never seeing it again. Happened to me as I lost a large 21 silver dog paws.
 
Glad that you found it!! Not a good feeling when your EDC goes missing...

LW- I am at a loss for words:thumbup:
 
I don't know whats worse, misplacing your beloved knife or misplacing your left nut.
