I know one day I reached in my pocket for my Kershaw Leek (back when the first came out) and it wasn't there. I was freaking out like you would not believe and looked high and low till I found it. Lil' bigger was in my car seat, seems it had some how come out when I got in/out of the car. I have never lost a knife/tool but I better keep quite or karma will come back to bite me in the butt.

One stolen.  (Caught the bugger on video)  Original SuperTool.

You must hava had steam shooting from your ears watching that...did you catch the guy and get the tool back?  Did you know the person?


I've never lost a tool or had one stolen luckily.

I posted the video on here, can't remember in what thread.  Yep, they caught him, nope, never got the MT or the cash back.  He pled guilty, was fired and now has his first strike.

Never lost a multitool but did lose 2 knives.  A Sog micradot ( or is it mircodot, I forget ) and a CS med. voyager tanto, ironically both lost at work ( different places years apart ). 
Technically didn't lose the Sog, I knew where it went.
Was really bored at work one day and started throwing the Sog into wallboard and making it stick  :o, on the last attempt it bounced off the wall hit the ground and slide under a rack of dry cement mix.  Didn't feel like moving 30 bags of mix to get to the knife so I left it for another day.  Forgot all about it and eventually quit the job,  a month after that the place went into receivership.  Whom ever cleaned out the place picked up a nice keychain knife.

The CS fell out of my pocket at the new job, liked it so much replaced it with another.

I've only lost 1 that I can think of.

I believe it was an Opinel #8 clone, but it may have actually been an Opinel #8 - I haven't seen it for so long I can't recall.

I recently realized I lost my original SAK.  From looking at pictures online, I believe it was a Sportsman.

Never lost one but many stolen at my work, my personal tools leathermans and SAK's.
But they take never the bad cheap ones.
But where I have worked the last 20 years that was "normall" to steel everythings from the company and from the guys they worked with. Even the boss did.

Shamed to admit but lost me a sideclip after just 6 months :0(
also my Minitool but I may now know where this one is possibly in an older fishing tackle box in storage.
Also I found the Sideclip in a toolbox while doing some work on a bike the other day so was well chuffed  needed a really good going over and oiling up and cleaning though had been in there approx 10+  ( born again biker syndrome I am afraid wish I had bought the bike a lot sooner now ! )and offered up a thank you prayer to the MulitTool gods
I love my leatherman tools like I love my lady an kids !
I just have a few more of them then the wife and kids lol :-)

Tools that I'd admit to owning...

-Vic Classic, believed lost overboard.
-Vic Huntsman, disappeared in move.
-Vic GAK, disappeared while in storage at my folks- possible my brother has it.
-Gerber Ez-Out, disappeared while hunting. (Had to clean rabbits with Leatherman- that took a while to clean out after).
-Gerber PMT, given to a friend after his LM disappear three days before Gaurd deployment. MIA in Bosnia, not missed. (Friend no longer loaned tools, either.)

I lost a fisher space bullet pen with name on it. It made me sick to think someone else has it. As far as tools I don't think I have lost that many.....lately that I can think of.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

I lost my spyderco frn ukpk 2 weeks ago. I was on a bus and it was clipped onto my pocket. I reached in to get my phone as it was ringing and it must have slipped out. I worry about whether some little kids found it and picked it up. I hope the knife is having a nice new life away from me (insert coldplay song here  :P).

I am fortunate not to  have lost any so far. Fingers crossed, touch wood and all the rest I never do.

I lost a skeletool CX last year.  Still have no idea where it is.  I was expecting it to randomly show up when I did some house cleaning, but i have yet to see it.
