The slimline trapper returns

[longbow1968]

I know the feeling. I’m thinking about just keeping this one in the couch, so that I know where it is.

Anyone else notice they often find things after they've stopped looking?

Yep. Usually when I'm looking for a good place to keep the replacement I bought when I couldn't find what I was looking for.

It is always a good day when you find a knife that you thought lost.

Congrats on finally and unexpectedly finding that slimline trapper, H&S! That's a good-looking knife!
Congrats on the new green Cadet, too!
Maybe it's a rare knife-locating knife that you can rent out to folks who've lost a knife.

It's always in the last place you look.

My Dad would always say "if we would have piled that last piece of wood first, we would've been done a long time ago."

Wouldn't that be nice, maybe as I'm walking down the street lost knives will just attract themselves to it like a magnet

I was watching the World Series the other night with my 8 yr old son. I got up and went to the kitchen to get something and my son yelled to me from the couch “what’s this knife made of?” I reached into my pocket and it was empty. I looked over and my son was holding my Case swayback jack. I didn’t even know it was missing yet but he had found it on the couch. Luckily I didn’t even get that “lost knife” feeling.

I lost an AG Russell funny folder, and found it in a reclining chair I was disposing of, I had already bought a replacement, so a double win, the replacement became a gift for my father. It had been missing for quite a while, and while I was breaking down the recliner it dropped out of the workings onto the garage floor...I swear, them recliners and couches have an appetite for pocketknives

Definitely, and luckily the fancy new TV remotes have a homing beep so you can find them.

I actually know someone who had a recliner they bought at an estate sale and eventually found a loaded snubnose .38 inside it I wouldn't be surprised if it was on police record as lost or stolen.

Blades closed I hope, or you could become a big pin cushion.

Congrats on finding it. I had a Schrade Uncle Henry Serpentine small stockman I thought I had lost, and later, my wife found it in the glove box of our car. It was like a good feeling came over me when it happened.

My Dad would grab the last piece of wood to be stacked and say, "That's the one I was looking for!"

This is the key! Sometimes I'll pick a knife and put it under my driver's seat or couch cushion just to appease the knife stealing monsters.
