Most expensive knife you ever lost

A nice Benchmade that was clipped to my pocket. The clip snagged on everything and one fine day I lost it. I'll never clip a knife into a pocket again. It either goes IN the pocket or in a sheath. Expensive lesson.
 
I just learned that lesson with my Surefire E1L flashlight. Carried it clipped in my pocket for 3-4 years, and finally it fell out of my pocket a couple weeks ago and it's gone. Also an expensive lesson.
 
Spyderco Michael Walker.

it was a 300 $ folder, carbon fiber grips, titanium screws,
i think it was made in switzerland by Kloetzli.

still hurting about it.
 
I lost a Lg Reg Sebenza in the Arkansas River... "Big Drop" rapid @ 3,000 Cubic Feet Per Second ... I NEVER took it rafting, but forgot it was IWB. THEN I decided to "gut" the hole and not hold on... I KNEW I'd probably swim, but I FORGOT I had the knife! bummer! That was back in the day when I had 4 Sebbies backing up my user... It certainly hurts more now than it did then.
 
Howard Hitchmough, when he still lived in London, made 5 Tactical style folders based on Bob Terzola's design back in the 90's . I purchased one and lost it about 5 years later.It was my edc blade and I miss it every day.....

I spent the next 6 months asking everyone I knew if they had seen it, offering rewards, but alas no luck.....

If anyone finds it please contact me for a reward at................oh never mind:(
 
i had a gerber compact sport that wasn't exactly lost as much as stolen. i was working at a daycamp at my temple and had left it in its sheath in my locker. when i returned from a field-trip with the kids i was teaching i noticed my locker had been pried open with something rather crudely, my wallet keys and the compact sport were all gone. another counselor by the name of stevie i found out later had been the one to steal my things. i never got the wallet back, but my equally sticky fingers were able to retrieve my compact sport from the morons jacket pocket after i noticed him playing with it at a party. i guess being a student of legerdemain can come in handy sometimes =^)

cheers!

I had some one steal my first pocket knife. An old timer three bladed slip joint when I was in 4th grade. I was so pissed. Had another blade go missing. It was a boot knife dagger. Then it turned up in my older brother's friend's car. He slammed the brakes, and out from under the seat comes my knife. I got it back from my brother, only missing about 1 inch of the tip, and with a cracked handle.

I dropped a CRKT M16 folder at a work get together. No one turned it in.

I had an old buck cross lock folder (one of the original with the paper thin liner lock that loved to fold up and bite my hands all the time). That one I have lost at least 20 times, some how it always finds its way back. I kept dropping it at college, and random people would come up and give it back. It is still in a drawer some where.


Luckily I have never lost a really valuable one.
 
When I was out hunting this year I had my Busse boney Active Duty in one of those cheap Enzo leather sheaths, and the lousy stitching on the belt loop came undone and my knife dropped into the snow. I did manage to find it right before it got too dark to look for it (didnt notice it was gone until I was hiking out in the evening!).

Guess that doesnt really count, but it was a damn close call!
 
I was cutting cord off of a box outside an Eckerd's Drug Store in NC with a nice Case Stag Stockman and took the contents inside. I had laid the knive on the ledge with a screwdriver and when I came back outside, both were gone.

Lost, no, but I think about that knife even today. Case 3 blade, XX USA. I am sure it was a pattern 53XX.

A lesson learned however.

Stag, 3 blades... 75, 47, 44, 33. Any of those sound familiar? All stockman patterns I can think of, though there are more. It may help you look on EBay, at least.
 
Ray Laconico custom $130.
Inside of a backpack that flew out of a car topper while on a camping trip.
Someone in the car forgot to latch and lock it down. :mad:
 
Lost a Spyderco Native to airport security. Lost an Endura who knows where, plus a Cricket and Victorinox Super Tinker. Sometimes they come back, though. I lost a Jester and a Case for over a year before re-finding them and recently found a Leek I thought I had lost.
