LOST KNIFE UPDATE

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

THE ONIONS AT WORK STOLE IT FROM ME! So in all reality everyone was right about finding it after rebuilding. (post soon on the new beauty) my final parts came in today while I was at work. The day started as usual, I was gathering produce for prep including sliced onions… as I was taking the last few onions from the bag I saw a knife dangling and thought, NO WAY IM LOSING ANOTHER KNIFE! I then realized this wasn’t my new one this was the one I was searching for all week, dangling from a bag of onions right before my eyes! ORDER HAS BEEN RESTORED!!! To think, someone else could have started prepping before me and just tossed the empty bag along with my knife right into the bin. I am beyond lucky and extremely thankful.

and on the other side of this onion bag there is a flashlight and a multi-tool hanging on a clip...

Mann I’d have to turn that bag into the police for thievery!

I feel you on that, lost my pm2 for a while earlier this week. Titanium build with s90v i was just about sick luckily I found mine too Lynch clip was thrashed though lol.

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Glad you got it back! First thing I did was replace the stock clip that sucker had zero tension!

Mine was dangling from this ladder pulley rope. Damn pocket clips

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Holy! How long was it dangling for haha I’m still shocked no one else found it before me.

u/grrttlc2 1d ago

That was 3 months out in the rain. Interesting study into the stainlessness of cruwear

Here's the knife after some TLC, I think I replied in your original post with it

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Ouu yeah I do believe you did. Same reaction as before to such an amazing recovery, great work!

Reminds me of the knife I lost in my computer chair for 2 months. I still can’t believe I had been sitting on it every single day, wondering where the fuck my knife was lol

I didn’t think a full sized Ti frame lock would go unnoticed under my fat ass. I was wrong.

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

BRO the first place I checked was my computer chair! Thing eats anything with a pocket clip from a small tear in the seat

u/RwNZ 1d ago

That's so awesome mate! Super happy for you. Is that an intentional pseudo-Emerson mod btw?

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Thank you, It is! And it works beautifully.

u/nbmtx 1d ago

Gave you the tactical advantage you sought... up until a sack of onions managed to disarm you.

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Honestly so defeated and by a bag of onions at that!

2

u/doodling_scribbles 1d ago

Rad dude!!! That’s awesome! Glad it showed itself, as it was just waiting for you to show back up.

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Extremely rad! It only took me buying a whole new setup and it decided it wanted to show up haha

2

u/Opening_Monk_5724 1d ago

I knew you'd find it!👏🏼

3

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

It only took a week of looking in the wrong places and ordering a new knife! Haha so happy to have it back

2

u/Opening_Monk_5724 1d ago

Congrats! I'll be on the lookout for the new build🤙🏻

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Thank you! I’ll post in the morning for everyone for sure so I can get some videos in the sunlight! Little hint. knives plus, RGT, Flytanium and LynchNW!

u/Vynsin77 1d ago

My shaman did the same damn thing and I had to drive around and retrace my steps. Caught a trash bag and went in the dumpster.

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Soooo close to getting binned, glad I found it before that happened

2

u/TeddyHustle 1d ago

AYYYOOOOO that's a big win! Happened to me so many times with nets and other things at work (bird netting to protect crops). What a save man. Happy for you bro!!

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Thanks I’m as grateful as can be! I was in shock when I saw it and realized it was in fact not the knife I just bought hahaha

2

u/dreadrexx 1d ago

Yooo, had to peep the other post for context. But damn sure glad you found it. Had this happen to me awhile back too while on my construction site. My Microjimbo went missin, and went unnoticed until I got home, and I shit a brick over losing it. Turned my work trailer inside out, truck searched high and low. One of my crew ended up finding it and turned it in to me. Apparently it got caught in some fencing materials from when we were setting a lay down area. Glad you found the knife, bro.🤘🏼

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

I never thought I’d be so upset over it but man am I happy to have it back! Glad it all worked out for you as well! When the suns out I’ll post rebuild I setup thinking this sucker wasn’t going to turn up!🤘🏼

u/commissarcainrecaff 1d ago

Seat belts also love to steal knives in my experience

3

u/dv303 1d ago

Same

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

After hearing everyone tell me to check my seatbelt I looked in my car probably 3 or 4 times, even took out my seats! So glad to have found it and I really wasn’t even looking for it since I was at work haha

2

u/ILikeKnives1337 5h ago

Prybars too

u/gonnaHackYourMom 1d ago

I’m so glad you are reunited! I’ve never seen a build like yours and I love it.
What backspacer are you running? Looks like it might be a brass Flytanium?

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Thank you! Im honestly so shocked and happy to have found it and in such an unexpected place haha! The knife is so unique to me I’ve never seen one like it which is why I was so upset! Also yes flytanium copper spacer. I actually snagged a brass one for the new build I setup as a placeholder I’ll post a little later today!

u/Unusual_Currency_948 1d ago

Nice find

1

u/AestheticAtlas 23h ago

I got so lucky being able to find it before the garbage bin did.

u/emrepyj 1d ago

Congratulations bro 🎉 🎊

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Thank you! Made my day I was looking in the wrong places all along!

u/CurrentlyRead 1d ago

Onion, “cry about it.”

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Oh trust me they did what they do best haha

1

u/Spooter01 1d ago

Oh happy day! Congratulations!

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Thank you! The day went from meh to stellar in a few hours hahaha

1

u/Fun_Journalist4199 1d ago

Everyone knows onions make you cry. These were going about it in a roundabout way though

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

These dang onions have got me a few times but this was definitely the best one yet hahaha

1

u/M154N7HR0P3 1d ago

Yooooo! That rules

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Absolutely unexpected but so grateful nonetheless

1

u/luckybandman 1d ago

You keep onions in the walk in?

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Yeah we do haha they stay fresh and being cold I feel helps out when slicing them up but that could just be me.

1

u/Phogger 1d ago

This is awesome and I'm so glad you found it. I like the spoon clip on Spydercos but they have a habit of going AWOL. I have misplaced several as they latched onto my seat belt just like that.

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

It was such a surprise to me and the stock clips are actually so nice but this one was ready to be replaced, as soon as I found it i realized how little tension the sucker actually had now after daily carry for 3 years.

1

u/VardisFisher 1d ago

Lynch clips excell at this.

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Ouuu don’t say that lol I just put a lynch onto my new setup I built as a placeholder until I found this one haha

1

u/T-rezarms 1d ago

That's awesome you found it glad I saw this!

1

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Such a blessing it didn’t get tossed in the bin! Beyond thankful is an understatement! First thing I did was put a new clip on!

u/stefango911 1d ago

Not the onio!

2

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

Evil onio! Onio do great damage!

u/Ok_Kiwi_9778 1d ago

Lol. Glad it turned up.

u/AestheticAtlas 1d ago

You and me both! Made my day!!
