Well, it finally happened to me. I lost my first knife! Actually it was a multitool, the Leatherman Sideclip. I had been carrying it daily for the last couple of month and last week it slipped out of my pocket. It must have been on a playground while I was on the swings (seems I'm not really prepared for that kind of activity). The ground was sand, so I couldn't hear it dropping and it was almost dark (so nobody could see me and my wife on the playground goofing around...
) When I finally noticed the sad fact, I was already home and it was too late to go back and start a search. I can just hope someone will find it and get a nice surprise. So my next Sideclip will be secured with a lanyard.
The only other knife I've ever lost was when I was around 11 or 12. It was a folder with one 3 1/2" blade, tool steel and wooden handle. A sort of stronger garden knife. I was playing in a field and suddenly I noticed the knife was gone. Even though I searched for it immediately, I couldn't find it in that field. I was of course very upset and still remember that event now, over 25 years later.
