What is the worst thing that's ever happened to your knife?

A friend of mine dropped my brand spanking new Spyderco Military on the asphalt. Time froze as it bounced a few times. Remarkably, not a scratch on the blade. Can't say the G-10 made it without a scratch though.

I got pulled over by some pigs, they checked my pockets and I was carrying a Spyderco Paramilitary 2. The pig said " nice knife, now its mine ".....I was pissed, it was the Para 2 with satin blade and camo handle, I worked hard to buy that knife because at the time I had a crappy paying job.

I work work at the gun counter in a sporting goods store. One time I was getting some cases of shotgun shells for a off duty state trooper. When I pulled out my benchmade Onslaught to cut open the box he said "nice knife" I thanked him for the compliment. Then he said "I'd take that on a traffic stop" I'm pretty sure he was serious. That guy was a D-bag. We have had problems with him trying to buy ammo with only showing us his badge. We check firearms IDs or license to Carrys. He has a LTC, but he wants everyone to know he's a statey or something. I think he gets off on the power trip!

:mad: If anyone tried to take a blade from me they really would get it!
 
My wife and I were moving some 20 years ago and I had a knife stolen from me while my back was turned. It was not for sale and some SOB took it. It was a Buck 119, and in most circles it wasn't worth much. To me it was, you see my father had given it to me when I was a boy. When the theft had occured my father had passed away 2 years before. It just really made me angry that some bast--- stole it.
 
About 13 yrs old and my dad and uncle cashed in their Copenhagen lids for a dozen lock back knives. He gave me one and it was my most prized possession. I used to ride my bike a lot when I was young. I would ride my mtn. bike over 500 miles every summer on trips and back and forth to my cousins house, park, school, practice, etc. I had that knife in my pocket as I crossed a very busy intersection. It fell out halfway across, and I remember hearing it skid on the pavement. I freaked and dropped my bike waiting for the traffic to let up enough for me to go grab it. I remember every car coming agonisingly close to hitting it. Then a thud. A big old truck ran it over. I finally got to run and grab it. The scales were cracked but the blade still opened and locked, just a bit gritty. I felt sick for a week or so after. I still have it, but am glad it was only that knife, and not one I own now!
 
Had a fairly inexpensive cold steel folder. Was working on some audio equipment in a friends car. He asked to borrow a knife. I heard him cursing in the trunk. He had tried to unscrew a fuse cap on a amp and ended hitting the power cable arching on my blade. Put a very nasty burn on it.
