Andy, you're too much of an introspective and sentimental soul... you NEED to pick up an Xbox or PlayStation!

Mea Culpa
I found a pocket knife at the Cooked River Campground; outside of Prineville @2002.
It was stuck in a juniper tree; have it marked, vacuum-packed, and put away.
I will return it to the rightful owner (must identify...).
I finally found my Spyderco endura in the toilet bowl after it being there for around two years. Long story. It fared fairly well with only some minimal cosmetic tarnishing.The old saying goes...
Ya always find it at the last place ya look....

I complained so much that my SO bought me a new one with the improved metal clip. win!
I can't count how many I have lost because I can't count that high lolI have lost many a knife over the years. Some very expensive and some not so much.
I understand your distress, however a knife is just a tool and tools are meant to be used. Unfortunately the nature of that sometimes leads to them getting misplaced.
May it turn up, and if not may its replacement end up being better than the original.
[QUOTE="Dungannon, post: 1808451, Always been a bit forgetful, but its getting worse. I'll go to the garage to get something and then just stand there thinking 'I know I came out here for a reason.' Sometimes I remember, and other times I have to go back to the room I was in. I'm usually met by the wife, who'll ask something like 'I thought you were going to get a screwdriver to fix this drawer.' Ah, yes. Then I fake it, and tell her I came back for a cup of coffee but will take care of that drawer in a little bit.
I thought I lost my favorite Gerber once. That would have been the 2nd one. I've had this one for 25+ years.
I panicked.
But then I found it. I had stuck it in my sock, and somehow it had shifted around to the opposite side of my ankle.
Damifino how it did that, but I was glad it was still with me.

Damn Caveman...that story had a crappy ending...Alrighty folks I'll tell you a story about a new to me gift from my son, a $100+ Benchmade knife.
Years ago my son came home on leave while he was in the Coast Guard, he always brought gifts whether it be a nice cigar a bottle of whiskey but this time it was a really nice Benchmade knife.
Mind you that I had never really had a GOOD knife, except for the KBar my dad gave me years ago, which is long gone. Anyways it was the first knife that I'd ever owned that had a pocket clip (yeah, I'm stuck ing the 60's and 70's) so I was like a kid in a candy store when he gave it to me.
The next week I went going fishing on the Cowlitz River early one morning, I had my chest waders on and my new to be knife tucked into the top where it was easy access if I needed it to clean out a fish or fight a tweeker. Well as luck would have it I had to go to make a deposit in the permanent porta potties that they have onsite. As I unsnapped my waders, pulled down the top flap, it flipped the top section down & the knife comes flying, out hits the concrete wall ricochets and shoots right into the crapper!!!!
It all happened in slow motion and I could not move a muscle but my mouth uttered the words of the little kid in Christmas Story.... OH FUDGE!!!! as I watched it descend into the depths of who knows how deep of crap.
It's the kind of sick feeling that you get when you drop your favorite fillet knife or rod & reel combo overboard in the ocean because you that you will never get it back, it is gone forever.
