I hit on the idea of polishing off the black paint with sand paper, much easier to see the shiny bit sticking out of the ground! Never lost that last one for 20 years!

Loaned it to a guy to cut some wrapping plastic off at work one day, several hrs later...... bro where's my knife, 5 pocket haka and no knife.
I dont loan knives any more, not even if you stay in my sight... get ya own bloody knife.

I got caught with a Mercator in Heathrow Airport!

My check in bag was over weight so at the last minute I moved some stuff and I looked in horror as my faithful Mercator showed up on the x-ray screen..

Apparently a Mercator is over the maximum legal length for a folding knife in the UK..the guy (and his supervisor) was pretty serious about it at first, but after I explained I was a Kiwi hunter and these things are as common as muck in NZ he took it off me and let me off.

Pissed me off because I really tried to look after that one!
