What's the LONGEST Time You've Lost and Found a Knife?

[desmobob]

I found it hung up on some loose thread on the back of my woollen-coat I was wearing.(Pocket clip removed after that)

I lost my Benchmade Mini-AFCK that way... I was at the skeet range and when I took off my mesh-fabric skeet vest, it caught the pocket clip and lifted the knife out of my pocket. It was lost for a week until I grabbed the vest to head to the skeet range again. I felt something heavy, swinging around on the bottom of the inside back of the vest... my knife!

Stay sharp,

In 1967, I gave my 15 year EDC scout knife to a girl who was leaving town, thinking I would never see her or it again, but we did happen meet again in 2004. I asked what had become of the knife and she said it was lost within two weeks after we parted. Last year, she found it and mailed it back to me.

Does 40 years in the land of the lost establish a new benchmark?

I lost a custom hunting knife made by Ron Hewett while I was moving. I thought that maybe some one had taken it out of a box while I was loading the trunk of my car. It was a knife that I had used for four years and I looked everywhere for it. About six years later, I got a call about a family whose house had burned down. Seems the guy was my size and needed some clothes in a bad way. I was going through some stuff and came across an old leather work coat that I hadn't had on in years. It was still in great condition and I thought the guy could use it. When I put it on to check it out, I felt something in the coat pocket and there was my Hewett knife. I never used that knife while wearing that coat and have no idea how it got into the pocket.

Nope, just a semi-serious girlfriend. The high point of our relationship was when I won her a giant Teddy Bear at the State Fair shooting gallery. Teenagers looked at me with awe and admiration as the carney asked me to name my prize, and I replied, "Lady's choice." It was sweet. Then she went her way and I mine.

My wife, who knows both the girl and the bear, has always been a little sore at me for not ever having won her something at the fair. Being an attentive husband, every year I try, but no stuffed critter (yet).
