   Yep, I left my original supertool inside the machine at work and up the scrap blower it went.
I also left a puma knife under a railroad track in Pa. I put it there so I wouldn't lose it. ::)

I've lost 3 Victorinox SAKs:
  • Midnite Manager (sapphire): used it to fix my bicycle, then left it (and my keys) somewhere on the sidewalk :(
  • Black Huntsman: lost after a party @ university campus... that one was my first SAK :( :( :(
  • Saphhire Huntsman: lost somewhere in London after preparing lunch. The lunch was good though  :D

I think it might've been found... I just need to check if it's the same Broker. :D

The only losses that I recall that hurt are 2 Supertool 200's. One fell out of my back pocket somewhere in southern California, never knew where to even look. The second one fell down a fence post that we had just set in concrete. No hope getting it. So it's not really lost, I know exactly where it is.

Yay  :tu:

Whilst searching for my Orange UKPK [also AWOL but not as big a concern as I've been using my black one] I came across the elusive Leatherman Surge deep within the darkest recesses of my shed  :o

Also found the UKPK, Lord Lucan, the Holy Grail, Jimmy Hoffa, the lost treasure of Sierra Madre and Wally / Waldo  :o

lost a cybertool-34 & SwissChamp. The cybertool was my first SAK. Till today i still have no idea how i lost it, because both were actually clipped to my pant pocket with a keychain clip. I bought both again & hopefully I won't loose it...
