Had a wonderful Christmas yesterday, used my white delica to open everyones gifts, went for a walk today and when I got home, my delica was not in my pocket

so upset. I have never lost a knife before, and I had to lose my favorite one. Anyone else lost a spydie? I cannot believe how bummed I am

Aww, Man... I feel your pain. Maybe Santa hasn't made it all the way back to the North Pole yet and can bring you a belated Christmas gift...

With all due respect, BonnieDoon, wiser words were never spoken.
Good luck. Hope you find it.

I just went and retraced my steps, and nowhere to be found. Doesn't help that I live in a snow covered area and the knife handle is white :p should have grabbed the black handled one in hindsight. On well just another excuse to go back to W&W and buy a new one

probably didn't leave with it, look around the house. I opened gifts with a tiny razor blade knife with only the tip sticking out.. come to think of it I haven't seen that since. Perhaps there is some kind of Christmas knife curse...

Any chance you know someone with a hand-held metal detector ? The kind folks wander up and down the beach with ?
It's not too late to bring this one back home....remember.....NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND !!!!!

That's a bummer. I lost a calypso jr while riding my motorcycle if that makes you feel any better. Black, VG-10. Had my knives stolen a while back.. in a way, they were "lost". Oh, and my best friend stole my C56PS Tim Zowada. :/ I feel your pain.

I feel your pain! I lost a SS Delica that my Dad gave me a couple of months ago. Good luck finding it!

Lost some Dragonflies myself. Lost them while riding a motorcycle on a nice long twisty road. Came out of my pocket. This was with the old FRN molded clips. The new Dfly2's with wire clips do not have the same problem.
Huge bummer. Know how you feel. Time to order a replacement!!

Thanks for the words of support everyone. It's funny how you feel like a part of you is missing when you are so used to a certain object always being on you, whether it be wallet, keys etc. If it does not turn up, i hope it finds a good home, and yet another person sees how great these knives are.

Maybe that's it. I've done that twice. The first time I knew I had put my knife in my pocket before leaving the house. I noticed it wasn't in my pocket at some point and knew I had stuck my hand in that pocket a few minutes earlier. I figured I snagged the knife when pulling my hand out and it fell on the ground. But, when I got home there it was on the table feeling hurt that I had left home without it. :D I gave it a hug and apologized and was forgiven. :D

Pssst they've got orange handled delicas if your looking to buy, that would be a lot easier to spot... oh and look around the house maybe it did not drop on the road, look in all the cracks maybe you were on the coach and it slipped out from the pocket and went in between the cushions or smth.

Go Bonniedoon, look for that knife, reminds me of tune I once heard
By yon bonniedoon an' by yon bonnie braes
Whaur the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
Whaur me an' my Delica will ne-er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnieddoon o' Loch Lomon'.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I lost a Tenacious several months ago
and still find myself looking for it. I scan the ground at home when I am walking.
I look behind this and around that etc etc. I hope that you find it.

That sucks, have any of you guys taken a bunch of your knives and compared, fondled and oodled over them when they were on the table? i did that and my endura 1 ran away.
i still look for it sometimes, hope you find it!

Welcome JK96,
Let's think about this. Your Endura is missing and so is Bonniedoon's Delica.
Hummmmm. Maybe they are in Vegas.
