I've only lost one since I joined the forum. The blacked out serrated Pacific Salt 1
Ouch! I felt that across the Atlantic right here in the UK.

Commiserations :-||

Hey, it may still be out there, rain wont harm it, if its found it'd be as good as new with a clean up and some oil :thinking


Not my photo ... but one beast of a knife

I've considered going to the area with a metal detector,but for some reason the frn h1 salts don't show up on a lot of them. we used to test out our different knives to pass the time when I was a security guard, and I never had a handheld wand detector or walk through detector that could notice my pacifics.

it would be cool to find it after all these years since it would still be pristine.

It'd be amazing if you were reunited. Worth cracking open a bottle of bubbly that evening if you found it.

I've only lost one before, a Tim Wegner Jr, and yes it was absolutely my favorite....at that time! Found it four months later.

I told that story here a long time ago, that one lost knife cost me thousands and thousands of dollars! As I was looking for a replacement for that lost Wegner Jr, I came across this forum!! :eye-roll
