What knives have you LOST?

I have had many knives stolen at shows in my 25 years of doing knife shows. I would guess about $6,000. worth. But the clincher is they got a $10,000. Rolex one time. It's price of doing business at shows.

48Harley, dam, that hurts just reading it!!:(
Anyways, Ive only lost 1 in my whole life, it was a cheap Gerber lockback. It now seems trivial after reading the post above.
 
My bag was stolen on a trip to Kosovo in November. It contained my Emerson Waved CQC6 and a John Smith Talonite MRC :(

First knives I have ever lost.

A Friedrich Herder Abr.Sohn. Lost it on the bus to work. Too bad, but I got a new one. :)
 
Lost my Kabar in the army many years ago. Lost a German gravity knife from my car some years ago. Forgot a XL Voyager in the gym and lost a BM 330 Gent out of my pocket in recent years. Not to bad in about 30 years of carrying and using knives I think.

I have a tale of Lost then Found knife. I rotate my EDC knives every once in a while and five weeks ago had been carrying my Mayo TNT medium recurve. I ALWAYS put my EDC in the same spot in a cabinet in my kitchen (with wallet, keys, watch, etc.). Five weeks ago I could not find the Mayo TNT. I looked everywhere and then some. I have three boys (ages 8,5 and 3) and they have been "known" to get into that cabinet, I did not know if it was them, if I really lost it somewhere, if it was outside sitting somewhere (at least being a TNT I knew if I found it two years from now in my backyard it would not be rusted :D ), but I felt like I was losing my mind. I just started a new job, was extremly busy but felt like I had a split personallity. Over and over I kept looking for the knife, could not concentrate on things, etc. My wife kept saying "Don't worry, I'll find it" (she usually finds these "little" things I misplace). I even offered her and the kids a $50 reward if they found it. She searched everywhere, negative results. I thought.....gone for good and dang, it was kinda a nice knife anyways;) .

Last week we are putting away Christmas stuff (ornamets, lights, etc) I headed off to work in my "glum" mood over my lost TNT. My wife calls me that night and says "Guess what? I found your knife, it was in one of the Christmas boxes." Must have fallen into one of the boxes when I was using to cut open the things each year. Talk about relief! She was stoked, gave her $50. I was estatic, got one of my TNT's back:) .

Happy ending to a lost knife story. Maybe I should collect cars, harder to lose;)
 
Still MIA, Spyderco/Viele, been missing for about 2 years now I still look everywhere for it cause I still can't remember losing it.

On an on again off again basis, I keep misplacing my Rocky Mosier California legal auto, and I keep tearing the house apart till it shows up, but like a lost puppy it keeps poppin' up.
 
Thanks archieblue. The Lochsa was "lost" in the post between the US and UK.

If you find it let me know :)
 
On my honeymoon (many years ago) I lost a Spyderco Mlitary while snorkeling in Hawaii. Imiss that knife. I was clipped to my swim trunks.
