I went through that when I was carrying and using my Kershaw Ken Onion Blackout on a if-I-have-my-pants-on-i'm-carrying-that-knife basis. I went to put it in my pocket the next day and couldn't find it. I was sick. I searched house, car, work, even had the guys at work keeping an eye out for it. I finally bought the same model, but not in the blackout version. It was just never the same. A month or so later, we're moving a chair around that I'd looked in, and under, several times, and the the darn knife is laying there under it! It must have gotten far enough down in the chair not to see or feel, but not far enough to drop through until then.
I really missed that knife and felt a real loss. I used it often at the time, especially on boxes and packaging at work. I don't carry it much anymore, having gone heavy back to the more traditional side of things. However, it is still a beloved knife and makes some trips with me when I take the dog out.
Having been there, as many of us have, I hope you find your peanut.

there's witchery afoot in the knife world today. 
i got up this morning at 5:15, had a cup of coffee, did the morning bathroom routine, dressed in my 4 layers, had another cup of coffee, grabbed my waterproof pants and realized that the buck bantam i keep clipped to them WAS NOT THERE! its my backup, so i never take it off those pants. by now its 6:00, and i tossed my room from top to bottom. no knife. pete came to get me, no knife in his car. no knife on the boat. came home, looked again, and guess what? no knife. the only thing i can think of is that it fell off my pants when i was "hitting the head" (the back of the boat is open to the sea, and was awash yesterday, and relieving oneself with 3 pairs of pants and a pair of oilskins is a hell of a trick in its own right). i wasn't attached to it, but still, it was a good knife. its probably on the bottom of the atlantic now.:grumpy:
hang garlic on your door and sprinkle redbrick powder on the threshhold. you never know who might be next!
elcuchillo, i hope you find your peanut. have faith, it'll turn up.

When I check into this forum, it's kind of like walking in to my den, or any comfortable room in the house.
When I saw the title to this thread, I felt like I might if I were to walk in to my den and find that my dog Duke (he's old, and I'm gettin' there) had got his tail too near the fire...
This being said, ElCuchillo, please settle down. I mean no offense, I assure you, and to show good faith, if you do not find your missing peanut, I have one here you can have for free if you send me your address.
`Tis the Season
Fewpop, you are the friggin MAN!!! Thanx for the offer, but I cannot in good conscience part someone from one of their knives just because I lost mine. I do appreciate it, though. Very cool gesture.
Status report: It's been two days, and no sign of it anywhere. I am not going to buy a new one because I KNOW it's here in the house somewhere. It WILL show up. If it doesn't, it will be laid to rest and I will move on to another pattern.... a Barlow perhaps. I've been carrying my SAK SI in Alox, and as handy and rugged as this knife is, it's just not the same. Life goes on, I guess, and there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Check by your bed.
Unless I'm one of the few on here who sleep with their favorite pocketknife on the nightstand or by the pillow. lol.

Under your computer desk? Check any ledges.
My dad (his birthday is today and he is 80) got me started in knives. He gave me my first one when I was 4. (Early, but I was raised in TN and spent most of my childhood in the country.) As I got older and could afford them I would give him knives on Fathers Day, his birthday, Christmas etc. He carries a few and has kept others in a collection. He lost one a few years ago and was upset. Mom said he scoured the house ... no luck. My dad is not the type to loose a knife so this really tore him up.
About a year later he called on a Sunday afternoon and I could tell by his voice something wonderful had happened. He said he found the knife.
Seems that he forgot to take it out of his pocket, hung up his pants and the knife feel square into a pair of dress shoes he seldom wears.
I have a lock back a friend made for me
. I pull it out of my pocket every night and put it on my nightstand. 
.
Not that I feel a need for protection (there are 110 lb and and 75 lb mutts in incredible shape and quite protective sleeping on the floor next to the bed), but of all my knives that is the one that I will never part with as long as I am able to use it.

any luck?
the bantam has been found. it was on the bottom of rockport harbor. it must have been unclipped when i was wrestling with my oilskins and fallen down my pantleg. then when i climbed the ladder to the wharf, it probably fell out. well, the tide was low today, and pete and i were looking at a rotted piling that had an eerie resemblance to a cormorant drying its wings, and lo and behold, right under the ladder, i saw my knife, no worse for wear from its 48 hours under the sea. some mud and rust spots is all. hopefully, this bodes well for elcuchillo, and the peanut is found.

I FOUND HER!!!!!!! I found my Peanut!!! It had quite a journey. Apparently, the night before I realized she was gone, she was sitting on my computer table, and fell off, into my wife's purse. The next day my wife went out with her friend, and took the purse with her. She then went into her purse to get something, and the knife must have fallen out because it has been in her friend's truck this whole time!!! I have her back, though, and am a fulfilled man once again!!!!

I had a similar scare with my queen #48 whittler in carved stag bone. I was staying overnight in a hotel prior to getting on a plane the next morning. When I got ready to check out and go to the airport in the morning, I put the clothes that I had been wearing, along with my shoes, the knife, and a few other items into a grocery bag which I then put into my car trunk. So all that sat in my trunk while I was gone.
When I got back and drove home, I took the bag indoors and unpacked it with my other bag from the trip, but did not even think about the knife. I put all my clothes throught thew washer and into the dryer.
Later I remebered the knife and could not remember where I had stashed it. I thought that I had put it in the paper grocery bag...checked the bag again but nothing in it....I remembered the laundery, checked the washer and dryer and all of my pants pockets...nothing. Getting worried, I searched the car, including the glove box, console, and the trunk. Nothing. Crap.
So I went down to the basement again, checked the clothes and the washer again to no avail. At that point I resigned myself, the knife was gone.
As I went back upstairs I walked past my shoes, which I had placed in the hall when I unpacked them from the grocery bag....hmmm...shoes were in the bottom of the bag.....I thought that I had put the knife in the bag...what are the chances? I tipped one shoe and the knife dropped out to the carpet. A close call!!

Reminds me of when I had lost a bare head Trapper by Old-Timer that I had gotten at LLBean's a while back, alas I never found it and I am sure it is in a local hospital where I was working that day. I have since replaced it with another just like it. Which I have lost and replaced with the one my son got from LLBean's the same time I got my first, He is into more tacticool anyway, I will give it back when he gets married(per my promise).
