Spyderco Forums

I'm so pissed right now words can't explained. My civilian somehow became unclipped from my pocket sometime today.

Ouch...that's a costly loss.

Oh wow, a Civilian! O.O

Is this the first Spyderco that you've lost or is the Spyderco you lost today the very first Spyderco that you've owned?


RIP, our dear friend the Civilian, or welcome to your new owner.

First ever owned

Sorry for your loss, my condolences. Hopefully who ever might find it appreciates it.

Check your car. I've lost a couple knives, or so I thought, only to have them turn up later. Sometimes they fall down in the seat of my truck. That's where I always look first.

dude.. that sucks. ive lost my kershaw scallion for a few months but i found it. we have these couches that recline and they eat EVERYTHING they like phones 2... so if u have a couch with lots of nooks and crannys check that.

+1.

I thought that I lost a SAK that I had bought in Europe several decades ago and carried without fail. That model is no longer made. After I bought another SAK to take its place, I found the original knife which had fallen into some folds in a comforter. Poke around, you never know.

Yeah I just went through my truck again and still nothing.
Bummed!

Yeah time to call in the lost and found at OSH also

i had thought i lost my leek that was my edc for several years and one day doing a detail cleaning on my car months later it turned up. if something like that is the case you might come across it in time. id say its 50/50 if someone finds it it will get turned in. but keep checking. good luck

On some forum somewhere someone just posted. "My lucky day" and is telling how they found this awesome knife just laying on the ground.....

hah, my twisted mind just thought of creating a fake thread on bladeforums or something titled "I just found a spyderco civilian, yippee!"

sorry though in all seriousness.. really sucks when you lose something of value and that meant a great deal

Ouch I feel your pain....maybe it will turn up yet....Doc :D

I had to open something in a car with one of my EDC knives and foolishly put it on my lap rather than back in my pocket. When I got out of the car the knife fell out into 5 feet of snow without me realizing until about an hour later. I spent an hour shoveling snow and finally gave up. A month later all the snow thawed and sure enough... there it was. Minimal rust and I was pissed that I ordered another one.

theres always another to buy..

That's an expensive loss but at least the Civilian is still in production.

Losing a knife sucks...

However I hope you can smile with this thought.

Can you imagine the look on someone's face when they find that knife!!! I mean, I can here it now... "What the..." :)

I've got two spydercos missing one for almost two years,and another about three months.The first I misplaced was my #29 mini manix the other is my mouse.If they turn up I'll celebrate,and buy another spyderco.

I lost my first spyderco quite some time ago... the pain will ease with time. Then again... I just lost one of the clip screws on my Police and ordered a new knife immediately, so it's possible that there is some residual trauma from the event :-P.
