Knives

The orange knife is the size that I like to use daily. That one on the far right, was knife that my wife found in the easement, in front of our house. She said, "Oh, I think I'll keep this in my glove box as a picnic knife"— but even from a few feet away, it was obvious this was a special knife. I looked up that Circled R and the word "idaho made" which were all the markings on it.

So, I put a sign up, on several nearby trees—"knife lost, please call..." and got two calls from people that described way different knives when I asked them to describe them. The owner never showed up. I only used it on camping trips; it's too big a blade for the box cutting, etc. use that my EDC gets, and it's a pocketful. I just gave it to my son this year, for his wilderness trips, which are far more frequent, and wilder, that what I now do. His EDC, since I gave it to him when he moved for college, is one of the early Leatherman's. He's on his third; still finding the same model, which is no longer made.

You’re shitting me right? So, a Chris Reeve knife was just there? Near your property? And nobody claimed it? That’s like finding the holy grail.

Seriously. I was just amazed, especially that whoever owned didn’t retrace everywhere they’d been, etc. I know I’d be going crazy if I lost something like that. Another reason I was never comfortable just carrying it was it was too nice for the truly mundane stuff I use pocket knives for. (But mainly, it was just too big for a pocketknife for me.)
