Hey gang,
My knife fell out of my sheath somewhere at ginnie today.
Tunnels and areas visited include the ear, bone line, hill 400 to the bats, insulation rooms, that tunnel that pops back out into the mainline right at the jump to the insulation circuit, and the mainline all the way out from insulation to the eye.
If you find one layin around it's probably mine. May or may not have "AJ" written on it.
Thanks!
"Pa Pa looks what I found. Son give that to my Sis..err your Ma she'll love to have another ones of those fancy looking steak knifes to use with the good paper plates"
I'd rather it be lost for good than to suffer that fate!
that's two for you
My dive to lost knife ratio is NOT where I want it to be...
Sounds like a skills solution to a gear problem...or something of the like...Quote:

This is knife number 3. It's bananas. Something's gotta change!
I would suggest a low-cost, broken-off-tip, steak knife alternative with your "luck" ;-)
I replaced all knives with Trilobites. They actually cut line, harness and such, instead of just scratching it like my fancy titanium knife used to.Quote:

I am going to change sheaths though.
To be fair, two out of three lost knives were dropped because I'm a dufus.
WTF is a WKPP dude doing in Ginnie, anyway?
You deserve that lost knife and so much more.
How in God's name will you ever look down your nose at the Untouchables now?

Tongue firmly planted in cheek.
Just enjoying life.

I know. It pains me. Even I must dive along side the proletariat every now and again ;)Quote:

The two I dropped were not sheath related. Sundays lost knife appears to be sheath related. It won't happen again, Im a quick study for these type things.
Cheap steak knives for the win.
It could also have "HAJ" written on it too. ;-)
2015: Year of the Fancy cave and the Wifi spool. Check your routers people, cuz the #### just got real.
300 steak knives for $168, sounds like your kind of deal.

Pre-blunted.
That is what I use. I tend to loose them when laying line in low viz caves. I think I have lost about a dozen over the past 40 years.Quote:

Have lost my shirt buying dive equipment.
Have been accused of losing my marbles going cave diving.
Still have my original knife.
Big thanks to Pete McCumber for finding my knife and getting it back to me.
Top notch.
Sweet!
I can't take all the credit. It was actually my dive buddies who found it. :)
Great to hear! I always love hearing when people get their gear back because it's always a bummer when you realize you have lost something.
A person I know keeps finding broken equipment lying on the cave floor and reports that he recalls thinking.. "Somebody must have had a bad day." One time he he found a second stage that had fallen apart and lay scattered on the ground. He picked it up and showed his dive buddy who pointed to his bailout... It turns out it was his. :)
Ironic.

I still think we should have just scratched off the AJ and kept the knife...
LOL.... that's funny Jen. It was a really nice knife, but the Halcyon logo was laser etched in. It would have been harder to remove.
