I kinda wanted a Cruwear Military. Was that even 2016?

In an odd sort of way I kind of regret having two 52100 Militaries since I can't seem to find a way to carry them without them bursting into rust. It's a shame because I love everything else about the steel but now they're sitting in their boxes coating with Vaseline while I EDC my S110V Military instead. It really makes me wish they'd do an AEB-L Military.

Hah nooo, I think that was back in 2013. I know I scooped up the last one I could find at a dealer in early 2014. The Cruwear PM2 was 2016 though. Awesome steel, I recommend it!

Oh right. I remember now because I sold my only two PE Militaries to buy the Cruwear version and then it came and sold out before I even knew it was available.

I regret not buying the Knifeworks 204P Military when it was marked way down.

Not ending up with one of the M4 Paramilitary 2's. I bought both when they dropped but both were so terrible in fit and finish that I unloaded both. Should have tried again. Now they are gone and no way I am paying people's inflated used prices. So, missed out on those two.

Hey jmh58, I replied to your PM but it looks like it's stuck in my "outbox" for some reason. Did you get it? I'm not sure how to get it sent from the outbox if not.

I put it in my rear right pocket leaving home, never used and found missing when I get home. It is not in the car. Yesterday I spent a about half a day on the road and about half a day in the office. I will try, but it will be hard.

Gut shot :(

Since it was in your back pocket, I'd check the seat cushions of EVERYTHING....think about it...sitting down with a back pocket knife is when they get dislodged mostly!

Not only check the cushions, check the floors beneath them and ESPECIALLY all the nooks & crannies in your floorboards beneath your bucket seats, get a good light and scour and feel around in that area.

I "lost" a custom handled Millie that way one time...I must've checked under the seats 4 or 5 x...then I FELT it!!!...there she was, sitting pretty as you please, spine down between my console and a metal floor stanchion / bracket thing...there was no way to see it unless you could look down from the top of the seat between the console and bracket...a perfect spyder hidey hole ;) ...just terrible access.

We'll keep our fingers crossed! :) :spyder: :)

I recently learned that the PM shows in your outbox until the recipient views it. It looks like your recipient received the message so it should now appear in your sent items folder.

Much like many of you, I regret not buying a HAP40 sprint. I missed out on the Stretch. I either own or have reserved the rest of them and I'm going to have to work a little harder at some point to get that Stretch.
