Well it appears that I've lost a knife for the first time.

I can't seem to find my fully serrated Spyderco Delica. I cant remember exactly where I had it last but I think it may have been in my pocket when I changed out of my jeans to put waders on before duck hunting. So it may have fallen out and is now laying in the field. I'll have to see if I can find it when I'm back out there. Other than that I don't know where it would be. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if it turns up. Oh well. At least it was one of my cheaper knives.

Yup, I've had several knives that "walked" away, never to be seen again.

That stinks. I still think of knives I had and have dissapeared without explanation. They weren't a big deal in the grand scheme, but at the time they were treasured. Some could have been replaced easily for less than $20. Some were gifted from important people in my life. That makes it the hardest to overcome. I always thought when I cleared out the parents house they would turn up. No such luck. Keep looking.

Lost a 400 Busse knife.......February this year. Actually bought a metal detector the other day in hopes of locating it.

Well I found it in the field today. It looks like it did fall out of my pocket. I was really excited when I found it because I didn't think I had any chance of it turning up.

I lost a rather expensive EDC several years back. I searched and searched everywhere I could think that I might have misplaced it, until I finally gave up. Months later, when picking my car up at the car wash, there it was, in the cup holder. I hunted the finishing guy down and gave him a BIG tip.

Wow, that's great! At least you were able to narrow it down to where you might have lost it, and no one else beat you to it.

Me? I lose about every knife I carry. Simple solution to that, I don't carry one. Not without a lanyard anyway.

That's awesome, man. I used to detail cars for a living and countless times found substantial amounts of money or nice items and was always honest and respectful of peoples belongings. I am glad you got the knife back and I am glad you made good with the detail guy who could've easily had a nice knife for himself.

I have lost a couple of knives, it is a terrible feeling! You are lucky you found it! Was it rusted from spending some days in a field?

 

[KnottyEagle]

I've been pretty lucky in not losing any of my knives. Glad to know that you found your knife.

Nope. VG-10 is pretty rust resistant apparently. You wouldnt even be able to tell it was out there other than some dirt on the scales.

That's awesome that you found it. I've been lucky finding knives I've lost, even in the field, and days later like you.

A few months back I lost my sog powerlock multi and I was fairly heartbroken only because that thing rode on my hip for years. My wife just got me a new black one yesterday though so I'm happy again.

 

[Free2game]

I left my endura sitting around at work one day and it mysteriously walked off.

 

[slight]

The only time I have had vg10 rust on me is when I brought a delica to a rave. It took 6 hours of being soaked in sweat and only had a few little spots. And I don't oil it AT ALL.

I only seem to loose slipjoints, lost a few case knives and a gec. I sit down and they just fall out of my pocket. Been thinking about getting one of those benchmade bone collectors, with the nail nick and clip.

I lost an Emerson Commander years ago it was number 069. Mary picked it out special for me. Man that was one of the first 100 it was a bitter experience for me.

What was it if you don't mind me asking.

 

[badjujuboy]

I know the feeling I also lost a Spydie Delica. It was black ti, fs and integated clip. I left it on a counter at work after opening cartons of survival packs for my company's EQ supplies. Although I have more knives then I can count, I loved that that old knife. Pisses me off that some low-life walked of with it:grumpy:

Glad you got your knife back and good for you for tipping the guy. I detail cars when I have a long break from school and very few people are appreciative.

The last knife I lost was a cheap S&W but I did like it ! It was lost in a 125 acre corn field! The next year I happened to be riding my ATV through that field and saw the silver glint as I went by at about 25 mph!!!!! :-0 that'll never happen again! LOL !wish I could find a few of the others! I did lay a Gerber multi tool on the side of my truck and found it after driving 30 miles back but I had remembered where I left that one!
