After reading this thread, I keep finding more pocket knives. Every drawer that I open has another new pocket knife in it. I still have the same buck in my front pocket that has been there for 18 years.

How do you keep a knife that long? I buy them 2 at a time for when I lose it,which is often but occasionally I find it later.After reading this thread, I keep finding more pocket knives.

I have carried a pocket knife for 60 years. In all that time I have never lost one. I did have to go back once and pickup a Schrade stockman I left after doing serious first aid and a tournique, but it was still sitting exactly where I left it on the side hill 2 weeks later.How do you keep a knife that long?

I resemble that remark. What's wrong with that?Ya git those old hands that use a pocket knife for every cutting chore , on the place .Anything from the twine on a bale, pickN a horse's hoof, to cutting pigs. Then, they got a nice Honeycrisp apple at lunch and offer ya a wedge of it, off the same blade, dang it!
If you're doing first aid, that involves a tourniquet, it's very understandable to forget your knife with that kind of excitement. I'm glad you retrieved it.I have carried a pocket knife for 60 years. In all that time I have never lost one.

I've lost quite a few Spyderco... they seem to grow legs if they aren't securely in your pocket...
