Alas, my Benchmade Leopard Cub has come home to roost after almost 1 year! While doing a bit of spring cleaning I found it hidden under a pile of junk in the spare bedroom. It musta fallen outta my pocket and got buried. The Cub was my favorite EDC, and I really missed having it.
 
See what a great idea spring cleaning is! You must have lost the knife the last time you did it ... :)
 
Do I have to clean to find my Calypso Jr? It would be worth it as long as I didn't lose it in the kids' rooms.
 
A few times! Use to carry a SOG Jet Edge. Everytime I was in a semi crunch position, like swinging on a playground swing, my leg would push the blade up, out of my pocket. I must have lost it 3-4 time like that. Each time I would think back to when I was in that type of position and found it everytime. It's been retired to my Microtech SOCOM Elite and BM 705. Both have much tighter clips and stay where they belong.....
 
A few years ago I was delivering Christmas trees for a friend. After leaving the lot I did my usual "pocket pat" to check for knives, keys wallet, etc. (A habit I picked up after working in a locked down psychiatric unit where losing your keys would be a bad thing). Anyway, this time, no Endura that I'd been carrying for about 10 years. I figured it had to have gotten dislodged at the lot, but I couldn't get back for a couple of days. When I got there there were a couple of Mexican guys that had helped me unload. I asked if they had found a knife and before I could even describe it he pulled it out of his pocket and gave it to me. He was such a good guy I had to force him to take 20 bucks for returning it.

I was in the field (training with the Army)having some fun wrestling one of my soldiers. After a while I realized my wave was missing and if you have any military experiance you know how important a multitool is in the field. I went back to where the match took place and kicked the gravel around and there it was, thanks to the shiny stainless steal it was easy to spot!
 
I know this doesn't count, as it is not about a knife... but my wife finally found my set of drill bits that got "lost" when we moved almost 2 yrs ago. Needless to say, I now have two sets of drill bits. The two knives that I have lost are still lost, and will probably always be... my first boyscout knife, and my grandfather's pen knife. I would give alot to have those two.
 
I once found a cheap Schrade Lightweight lockback the fell out of my pocket and into the couch. I also found a SAK and a one hander that fell under my bed, now I keep all my knives on my computer desk..
 
That's what got me into this whole knife business. I had a Cold Steel Ultra Lock folder that I lost about 6 - 7 years ago, maybe longer. It was a really nice little folder, liner lock, AUS-8, I believe. Anyway, I tried to replace it, and they didn't make it anymore, so I got the closest thing to it, a Voyager.

It was all downhill from there, and I found the Ultra Lock, hidden in a drawer, where I cleverly put it many years ago.... :rolleyes:
 
Just one-a Cold Steel Gunsite folder. After wondering for months what had become of it (seemed like it was always on a Saturday, when it accompanied me on my yard chores), I stood staring at my recliner, then tipped it over, and guess what fell out from the lining? Shouldn't that make it to a Cold Steel "Proof" video? :p geegee
 
I once lost a straight blade Schrade hunting knife when I was about 12 years old. I found it about 5 years later, under some old wooden steps where I had cleverly hidden it from my cousin. Needless to say, it was a large ball of rust, and the leather sheath was half rotted away.

I lost my Wife in the store the other day...but she found me before I could High Tail it out of there:D Does that count?

No. Put a woman anywhere near a store or mall and their God-given "Shopper's GPS" will take over. Uncanny, but true.;)

Drop a Sebenza in an empty parking lot, turn around to pick it up, and it will never be seen again. geegee
 
It's only happened to me once, about 4 months ago. I was working on my uncle's Christmas tree farm, cutting about 500 trees per day in multiple fields. I had a REKAT Fang on my belt and in all the bending over and chainsaw handling, it fell off. I was nearly sick, as it was great for the job and how was I supposed to find it in the 100 acres I'd been cutting in? The next day I was cutting in one of the same fields and I almost stepped on it. Luckily it was the stainless model, so it stuck out like a sore thumb.

That's the only story I hope to have!
