Thanks for sharing this story and is exactly why I had created the thread. When this kind of thing happens it helps to tell the story to move on from that sense of loss. In your case you had a great end result which is a blessing. Amen. I have struggled just as badly with lost or broken wrist watches. Leaves you feeling naked without it. | |||

Ah. See, I did not know that. By the time I got here the title had been made non-click-bait-y. I retract my rant (the original of which will shortly be deleted), with apologies.

Thanks for encouraging words. I did change the title after learning it was breaking a rule and a sore spot for members. Again, didn't mean to annoy anyone. I'll be more careful in the future. | |||

I carry a knife clipped to one front pocket and a small flashlight clipped to the other side. I stopped in at the local IRS office go pick up a couple of forms. The security guard at the door pointed at the clip in my pocket and asked if it was a knife. I pulled it out and turned the light on. He was satisfied with that, never noticed the knife on the other side. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

This is accurate. Took me a while to figure out how to fix it but it finally figured it out. | |||

Thank you also for the encouraging words. I really had no idea. I make a point to not spend too much time on this forum or any others. I'm more of an outdoor type of person. I drop in once on a while with months on end I don't even look at this or any other forums. | |||

For my part, no harm meant. We all had to get the lay of the land, so to speak. "We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities." | |||

Now with the title fixed maybe we can keep it moving? With apologies to those annoyed. Thanks for also sharing your story. I also carry a key bar and they asked me if that was a knife also so I had to show them it was only keys. If they would have not let me in with the key bar I would have said screw teb tickets and left. | |||

I’ve actually done that very same thing, forgot all about it until now. I felt pretty slick. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I’m taking my kiddos to a Babymetal show later today and I don’t know if they will be doing metal detectors or not. I’d prefer to keep a pocket knife on me, but not bad enough to risk losing it. I’ve had to give up a couple knives in the past when security found them, including a really nice Benchmade 940 that I’m STILL pissed about. Most of the time, I just forgot I was wearing it, not trying to be sneaky and get a knife into wherever. These days, if I forget I’ve got one one me, I typically look for a place outside to stash it and just hope it’s still there when I get back. So far, that has worked well for me. I will admit, it does feel odd not having a pocket knife on me. Not quite naked or vulnerable, just...odd. - Bret | |||

Yep sure do. Used to use it every day. There are two things that disappeared in the ER, my pocket knife and belt. Finally replaced both. Now I feel complete. Duluth Trading was particularly nice about it. I have some of the cargo pants that come with a belt. They did not have the replacement belts for sale. Instead they ask that I send the pants back at THEIR expense and they sent my a brand new pair for no charge. Cannot beat that. | |||

I went to Talladega for a weekend of racing for the 32nd annual time 3 weeks ago. For the first time, they were wanding all 3 days, but said nothing about knives. On Sunday, they were taking knives. I was asked if I had one, and reached for my left pocket and said no. I did have my Mini-Buck in my right pocket and kept going. I heard some people say they put there knives in pockets on their coolers and were not checked. I did include a note in the survey they sent about this and asked why they did not tell us beforehand. | |||

Let's be careful out there |
Lost a Benchmade Auto Stryker once. Pretty expensive knife for me. I hunted high, low, and middle. I scrounged until I could buy a new one. About two weeks after the new one came, I kicked back in my recliner, pulled the lever, and my old knife fell out of the bottom of the recliner. | |||

That’s a happy ending if I’ve ever heard one. I just remembered that the Gerber Gator my old man gave me as a high school graduation present vaporized in our move across country eight years ago. One of the relocation company packers who put a wet toilet brush in the same box as our clean dishes must’ve gotched it. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

This. These $8 an hour rent a hood-rat "security" screeners are not going to touch your dick. They will just assume its your belt buckle. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

Ouch that stings, isn't the 940 $180ish? I gotta ask, what is a baby metal show, and did they end up having detectors? | |||
|
Member |
Haha that just figures. Glad you found it!! Did you return the new one or end up gifting it? Back up knife? Lol | |||

You would think after that many years of races, they would give people a heads up in advance about a rule change. | |||
|
Member |
That's excellent CS for sure. What kind of knife did you lose and end up replacing? | |||
|
Member |
I imagine you're correct. Moving forward I'm not taking any chances though. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on ZT 0920 which is $240ish. Not worth the risk of losing a 200+ knife. I'll make a point to leave it home next sporting event or concert I end up at. | |||
