I've probably got 15 pocket knives in there in my drawer. Some of them cost a few bucks. But the one that stays close didn't cost much at all. It must have fallen out of my pocket while I was working in the yard. They don't weigh anything and they'll take an edge real quick. I've been using it in the kitchen working up my tomatoes. It's perfect for stuff like that. I'm gonna have to chase down another one. These. https://www.opinel-usa.com/pocket-knives/classic-pocket-knives/classic-carbon-steel/n6-carbon

Good knife for the limp-wristed wine and cheese crowd, not much else. Get a real knife.

Sir, may I suggest that the serrated parer by that well known Swiss or Swedish company, sorry, on #10, is an awesome mater slicer.

Always bad when that happens - You can have a trusty knife for years then suddenly lose it. If you lost it in the yard you'll probably find it again.
I hope you find it soon.

This may/may not be cost effective but
If you have a harbor freight or chinese crap tool supply or even a home depot. You could purchase one of the Roofer's rolling magnets
You'll find that knife, and when done you can walk that magnet up and down the length of your gravel for old nails and tire hazards.
Or you can just use it and take it back and say "this thing is a piece of crap" and get your money back
Idk maybe being a retired guy a owning a yard magnet might be something worth having around doing projects with nails.

I could skin a buck or run a trout line with that little knife. You don't need a titanium folder with a tanto blade made from diamonds if you know how to properly cut stuff. Believe me,I'm saying this from a blade smith's perspective. I would much rather make good knives than knives that can't be destroyed.
Love those little knives. Sorry you lost it but at least they are all cheap and just as good.

I had (operative word) a nice Benchmade folder that I bought in 1998. It went through hell and back, especially working in a box plant cutting corrugation, hitting staples, etc. Set in down on a shelf at Home Depot on a Tuesday night while cutting some plastic straps on some lumber. Less than 5 minutes later at my car I reached for it to cut some string and went looking for it. Less than 20 people in the store at the time and the damn thing grew legs and walked off. Checked Lost and Found that night and again a few days later. Still pissed about that...

Dammit! Hate losing my pocket knife! It'll turn up, probably in the laundry, OR the last place you look!
Odd when I looked at the link for your knife..., it MOVES...
WEIRD!
