I'm tryin' ta think ... I actually don't believe I've ever lost a one.

I did lose a Walker Lightweight Linerlock at work back in the early 2000s. When I couldn't find it, I actually posted reward posters of it on bulletin boards around the building. It remained lost for two full years and then one day, someone called me into one of the other rooms in our office and had me look into the back part of an office chair where the seat met the back and there was a little pocket of space. There, coated in weird white dust, was my knife.

I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the model I bought back in the 80's at a gun show.
I either gave it away or lost it, still driving me nuts as to what it was.
I have given away a few over the years and am trying to buy them back. Using much tact and sensitivity of course...

I like to think that the 2 I haven't seen for a few years are merely "temporarily misplaced" and will turn up sooner or later. One was my first Native and I just hate to give up on it.

Lost a SS Hunter while working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. "PLUNK!" and down she went in about 80' of water.

Loved that knife. May she rest in peace. ;)

Haven't lost one yet, bought my first in 1992. I have had a clip break off and the knife fall down into my pocket.

There's been a folding knife in my back pocket almost every day for the past sixty years and I've never lost one, Spyderco or otherwise.

I once lost my Delica III at a restaurant. It somehow made it out of my pocket and fell down under the table. Fortunately, someone found it and turned it in, so when I called a couple of days later, they had it to return to me.

I have an unaccounted for Pingo. I've searched every nook and cranny of everything I own and can't find it. I HATE losing things. Despite purchasing a replacement, I still am quite disturbed by the fact I don't know where it is. The fact that I don't have it doesn't bother me near as much as the fact that I don't know where I lost it. I'd much rather lose an object to TSA, or have a wave knock it to the ocean floor and lose it in a known way, but to have it unaccounted for is figuratively killing me.

None. I generally don't lose things.
I have sold a few that I now regret "losing" though.

Lost a 1st gen Rescue while paintballing. The old-style molded clip wasn't really suitable for bouncing around a lot. Was a great knife...

I lost an 'original' Dragonfly several years ago. Haven't decided which version I want to replace it with, yet. My Delica and Caly Jr. are enjoying swapping quality pocket time with each other.
