I suppose this has been discussed everlastingly but in my six decades I must have had dozens of pocketknives, some good ones,some cheap ones, but they're all gone. Where do they go? Are they down in some old sofa? This would also include Zippo lighters. Where the hell do they go? My thinking is there must be treasure trove somewhere, maybe in the high Sierras....... sm
 
Where mine go/have been found:

Between the couch cushions; under the car seats; behind the bookshelf - or whatever place it is where you dump your pockets at the end of the day (every guy does that); friends you loan to & never get it back; packrat kids (like mine - my cool stuff always seems to end up in his little tool box :D ); coat pockets; the wood pile; the fridge (once); the freezer (twice); inside my computer housing (repair with a SAK Classic, left it in there); in an old suitcase (interior side pocket); lunch box; briefcase;

The list is probably endless...


thx - cpr

BTSOOM!
I've probably lost a half dozen knives over the course of ~50 years that I've been carrying knives. Never found any of them.

That's one of the reasons I don't buy expensive knives. Stuff happens to them.
 
Maybe your mom threw them away.

I had a nice little collection of el cheapo blades as a kid, and today I have exactly none of them. Since I have gotten older I think I have lost only one or two knives in the past 25 years or so.

It seems exactly the opposite to me. I apparently have knives everywhere that need to be explained.

I think I still have every pocket knife I've ever owned. Some are in my nightstand, one was given to the kids. I saw it recently. One is my pocket, and another is on the desk in front of me.
 
ive lost 2 that i can remember. both where a long time ago when i first go into knives and they where cheapos anyways. some of the places i have found them are: in my shoe (i guess i knocked it off my desk into it luckily it wasnt open cause i put my foot in and thats how i found it again) many of my knives have fallen victim to my desk which is cluttered to the max, a few under my bed, one on top of a tall book shelf (if im going some where i cant carry i put it on top of a bookshelf or a fridge depending which door i go out), once i lost a knife and found it in my back pocket XD and i think thats about it for me.
 
I'm pretty sure Tupac Shakur and Elvis Presley stole most of them along with all of your left socks.

Welcome to the forums:).
 
My wife said she found one of your pocket knives in the dryer.

I'd like to know what your knife is doing in my wife's dryer....

Ozy - what happened? Not the young male near a night club scenario?

I have never been searched? Though I don't carry anything signifcant anyway - but the swiss army knife will eventually be lost at an airport I reckon

Scenario 1 Almost cleaned up a couple of beat coppers on my push bike rounding a corner on the footpath....
Didnt like the look of me, searched me and found a small folder in plain sight, in a sheath on my belt.

Scenario 2 Transit police searched and confiscated an SAK, issued fine for no ticket etc.

I gave up after that.

I have since learned my rights, and growing up a bit I know how, when and what to carry. :cool:
 
I always figured it was the Sock Monster's cousin.

Unlike the Tooth Fairie, this guy leaves no monetary remembrance.
 
left a benchmade presidio pardue at my (EX)girlfriend's house :(
usually in my laundry piles, between the seats in my car, in my couch. etc
 
they go to the secret fifth dimension where single socks go, via a portal in the dryer.

So it's agreed, the knives are hidden somewhere near the socks.
 
I was out one night and lost a small buck folder, about a week later I went back to the same bar I was at, and the bartender thanked me again for the knife I gave him. I guess I paid off my bar tab with a knife. (but didn't remember the next day)

If you drank enough to forget what you did, that was probably good a deal. :D
