Friends:

If you've ever lost anything (and it's about the size of a knife, car keys, ect.), and the only place that you are absolutely certain it can be ....is in your house: then I'm going to tell you where to look for it.

First or last (I don't care when you do it) I want you to go to a place that you have not yet gone, because you know there is "no way possible your lost item can be there".

Well over countless years of losing stuff, I have found them in this location!

And after I've refound small things in this location I do not know how on God's Earth it got there!

So? Where?

Go into your bathroom, Guys.....any and all of them.

If in your bathroom you may have (as I do) a place called a linen closet that holds towels....cleaning stuff....toilet paper....whatever.....!

There is where your knife is, Guys!

Somewhere under all those washcloths....towels....whatever, is your car keys.....and your long (or just) lost knife.

Think I'm nuts?

Hey....what else have you got to lose?

I have a Victorinox Soldier that took a walk and never came back when I went home one weekend. I still search for that thing every time I go back.

My Victorinox Spartan decided to crawl out of my pocket when I was laying on a friend's couch the other night. Thankfully she found it before her dog did.

I lost both of my Eze-Lap model M sharpeners. One was borrowed and lost by a friend, never to be seen again. The second one disappeared from my pocket while I was laying on a friend's couch.

I have a Delica, Endura, and Gerber MPT that are actually KIA, since I watched them all go over the sides of boats.

Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter. It's around here somewhere. I know it its.

You guys lose a lot of nice knives. Perhaps there's a knife gremlin that travels the world...

I've lost nearly every knife that I've ever designated for carry. Mostly Opinels, but also a Bucklite, OldTimer, and a few others. I'm also famous for misplacing jackets, flashlights, etc. That' why all of my "keeper" knives are stored in their original boxes, cataloged, and organized in a locked trunk; I'd lose them if they weren't.

So far so good with my current carry knife, an AG Russell Hunter's Scalpel. The reason I've been able to keep it this long is the lanyard string and locking sheath. Plus it's inexpensive and can be replaced with no trouble. For additional protection, I have a duplicate stored with my "keeper" knives.

my camillus dominator:barf: and becker brute are around here somewhere, I just know it.

 

[Cyblade]

My Gerber LST I find the damn thing and then I lose it for a year or so then I find it again. It's been lost for about 6 months now and I dont know where it could be but I'm sure it'll pop up again.

Well... I misplaced my Kershaw Hawk over the summer. I cleaned my house, moved everything several times and no knife. I found it about two months later on top of the fridge. I'm only 5'6", I don't put things on top of the fridge and I live alone (well, at the time I had a friend staying with me, but she's 5'2" so I know she didn't put it there... not without a chair that is).

The Hawk was irritating because I really like that knife. But right now, my SOG Flash II is MIA, but I don't really seem to care becuase I never was too fond of that knife. I may sell it, if and when I find it (it's practically NIB, I carried it a few times but didn't like how it rode so low in the pocket and the clip is kinda flimsy, but oh god it's sharp).

Edited to add: My Vic Soldier fell out of my pocket whilst lying on the couch watching TV one night. I freaked out because as inexpensive and easily replaced as that knife is, I really really like it (I'd rather have to replace any of my more expensive knives than that Soldier for some reason). We found it when it went flying out of the couch while pulling the bed out for someone to sleep on.

Al Mar Ultralight (early 1990s); Spyderco Goddard (early 2000s); Spyderco Goddard, AG Russell flat-ground PE version (The error here was that I never ordered one - D'oh!). Several SAK's.

There is got to be BM 550 somewhere around here, I just don't know where. There are also 3 buck Odyssey's and I don't think I ever lost anything else. I regret loosing my knives and for that I have to punish myself buy keeping the 1:5 ratio as in lost and bought respectfully.

P.S. God, I hope not to loose anymore this year

 

[Ilovetoolsteel]

I somehow lost an old WWII bayonet that I had laying around.

No you didn't, I found it and I made a throwing knife out of it.

(12-03-05.....As of today I'm missing my David Winston Damascus Keyring Knife, and a small Gerber Silver Knight with the checkered G-10 handles, when I misplace a knife I go nutz lookin' for it, my wife always knows when I lose a(I'm sorry, misplace) knife or a flash light I tear everything apart, car, sofas, my dresser and my side of the bed, and in the process put all my newly accumulated crap and clean up all the places i look(if ya ask me I think she hides the stuff just so I look for 'em and wind up cleaning in the house.

So in closing I'd like to pose this question to whoever reads this thread.

What knives of yours are misplaced or MIA?)


Well just when ya give up hope,: MIA 112 days my poor David Winston Damascus Keyring Knife disappeared, slid/pulled outta the Kydex sheath(I had a little lanyard on the key) it musta hooked on something when I got outta the truck.

Well my wife got outta thw truck, bent over(considering the fact that she had a total knee replacement a little over a week and a half ago, her bending over to pick anything up amazed me) and picked up a rusty looking key with a leather fob/lanyard.

I knew immediately what it was, my David Winston Damascus Keyring Knife, unfortunately the Gerber's still MIA but there's hope.

Here's some pics of the recovered David Winston Knife.

I'll post the cleaned pics later.

 

[TNRat]

I have a Benchmade AFCK, all black, and SE, lying on a creek bank somewhere in AL. Man, I miss that knife.

 

[kylekim]

My BM 921 and 705 is MIA.

 

[Helle]

Spyderco's, I've misplaced/lost a copilot, executive, lh mariner, civilian, ser tuf-ram worker, 2 hunters, delica, endura and a native since around 87'.
Just thinking of all that steel gone makes me want to get sick :barf:.

 

[lambertiana]

Only two - a Victorinox Soldier (AWOL 4 months now) and an old Ellenville Knife Co pearl pen knife.

 

[Bruceter]

My Spyderco SS Dragonfly went missing at work about eight months ago. I was the only one at the office, used it to open somthing on my desk, and haven't seen it since. A small Spyderco kitchen utility knife is also MIA. Have an extra slip on edge guard in the drawer, but no knife. Not sure how I could have lost a kitchen knife?

I just finished a cross-country move and I must have misplaced a good four or five knives during the unboxing process. I was so absent-minded that I would set one down and literally have no idea where it was a scant three seconds later. Since I was doing this in the garage I wanted to be sure to find all of the knives before my tires did. So far the only one still MIA is an old Buck lockback that had long ago been relegated to box opening duty.
