You claw around in your pocket for it, realizing it's not there! :) Thankfully, I'm pretty sure it's on the vanity at home, and not lost. I did emply my pockets last night for whatever reasn.:confused:

My 373 in brown dymondwood.......;)
 
Hope it turns up for you.

I would feel the same way if I wasn't sure where my 311 Trapper was.
 
Oh, I thought this was a "You might be if thread." I was gonna say if you've given it a name.

I do a pat down on my pockets every morning. Knife? Check. Wallet? Check. Keys....
 
You know you've bonded with a knife when you find yourself sitting at your desk opening and closing it without realizing you were doing it.
 
I've had that sick feeling and it wasnt on the table. Got to work one day and felt light. I had made a stop at a friends house on the way in-parked up hill. I had heard something drop when I got out of the truck when I got out but didnt see anything. At work I realized it was my 500 that slid out of my pocket and must have bounced under the truck. Still sick about it and that was about 14 years ago.
 
You know you've bonded w/a knife when you accidentally nick yourself with your own blade and bleed on it.
 
Last winter, I was out walking the dog in the local park, which is a mix of grassy areas and woods. We saw some deer and gave chase in a full run, downhill across a grassy field with about an inch of fresh wet snow on it. (Yep, nearly fell on my face. The dog was on the run-out leash — I'm not totally nuts.)

But sure enough, on the way home, I could feel the jacket pocket was light — the two-dot 110 was no longer aboard and had jumped ship during that crazy downhill run.

I went home, came back solo with a good LED flashlight, walked our path backwards across the field (easy with the fresh snow) and finally, finally located the knife, which had slid downhill under the snow a short ways. Huge relief, and a promise to self....
 
Whoa. You were lucky to have found your early 110. You don't like to carry it in it's sheath? DM
 
I'm on so much on Bonding with a knife. However, when it performs well for me, like field dressing a elk after dark. I'll have respect for that tool and take pride in carrying it. DM
 
LOL, I guess there ARE other ways to know, too. :) It was on the vanity where I had left it, thank goodness.

No, I never use a sheath, preferring not to carry things on a belt. And in this case, that would put the knife essentially out of reach, being under the jacket (mountain parka, actually), which extends down well over the belt.

It was definitely a dumb thing to do, but we sure had fun chasing those deer back into the woods.

Next time Zoe and I chase a handful of deer, the knife goes in a jacket pocket that snaps or zips closed.
