How many knives have you lost? I think I'm at about 3 dozen. Best was a #25 Randall..

3 dozen might be conservative for me

I lost a very old Japanese razor. It still bothers me well over 20 years later. I believe that is it. I have approaching 300 knives.

I've lost a few. A couple Leathermans and four Old Timers. Always hurts.

I think I've found more than I lost...lol, last one a couple weeks ago, black and purple with a built in bottle opener!, piece of crap but it'll cut...

Not that many, but a couple I sure would like back

I think 3 but only the three blade jackknife that my dad gave me in I think 1970 the main blade had property of the marine corps on it, don’t know what happened to it just reached into my pocket one day and it was gone

Not many maybe 2 when I was a kid,, Rapala taken from my truck a Buck from my camper

A Bowie Dad made in the 70's
A Custom skinner he had made for me and my brother (who lost his)
OG Pop's hook bladed Klien tools knife i put mammoth ivory handles on
Scharade USA mad Improved Muskrat

My Daily carry Kershaw one handed knife I found in a parking lot

Lost a lot of them over the years. The one that hurt the most was an old timer sharp finger i had kept up with for 25 years or more

A friend of mine and I were waking back from fishing, when we were freshman in high school and he found a rusted up Klein Tools hooked knife in a newly seeded yard. He didn't want it and gave it to me. I still have it. It was the most useful knife I had in my teens. I stripped bark, shaped sticks and cut down trees up to 6" in diameter with it. That steel took a very sharp edge. It has a clear red plastic handle, with a big metal ring sticking out of the base. I've seen identical ones on EBay.

I haven't lost any knives..but .

I have lost 2 very nice Straight Razors...and a Canadian Style Pipe ...Made by

Mark Tinski...I cannot find that pipe anywhere...or the straights...not happy

I have never lost a knife, but have left several laying where I last used them. Side of creeks, stuck in a log......

I have lost a few over the last 60+years,but
I have wore out way more.

maybe a dozen I got one back probably 20 years after I lost it.

an old timer one of the USA old timers , they were going through my great aunts house if she found something cleaning she would put it in one of a few decorative pots with lids around the house . she passed in July 2024 , in Oct 2025 I was visiting the house and my cousin who owns it now she opened up this pot and asked if I knew what any of this was.

well my dad had a knife in there , I had a knife and a compass in there , and there were 3-4 of the compasses my uncle carried but he is dead. some 20ga slugs a few rounds of 22lr we hunted from her house so anything we ever lost in a couch cushion was in that jar , probably intending that she would give it to use next time we visited and she always forgot.

she was a child of the depression she saved so many things.


we had a buck contest one year , no one shot a buck but we had all put 20 bucks in the envelope , it sat in her China hutch for a few years , and she said I found this envelope of money in the China hutch labeled buck contest , we remembered but couldn't even remember what year it was so we decided she should just have it and she refused so we agreed to buy beer for everyone with it in town the next day.

Never lost one.
We didn't have much when I grew up. Anything I had was precious.
Still have my Cub Scout/Boy Scout Knife.

Only lost one, And yes I still have my Boy Scout Kabar sheath knife and purple handled plum axe form my Boy Scout days. Still use the axe every winter cutting kindling for the wood stove. Over 55 years still carrying the same 3 bladed Puma pocket knife.

Ouch, losing the Randall has to hurt.
I have lost one knife that bothered me, one I made with my dad when I was pre-teen. A few years ago, 25yrs since lost, my dads neighbor tells him he has the knife. I believe their kid had stole it.
Lost many pocket knifes.

I lost a Benchmade Osbourne. Probably 15 years ago. I still believe I will find it.

I have never lost a knife for more than a couple days. I have broken a couple and I have dam well thrown many away that would not hold an edge. I have not been a collector. I always use my knife and I have fell into the steel race. Only thing I found out is that they all get dull if you use them and a good diamond stone will cure that.
