The 1st pocket knife that I bought as an EDC was an early production model of a black Kershaw Shallot 1840CKT, designed by Ken Onion, that I still think is a near perfect EDC knife.
Probably lost it in a movie theater, where it fell out of my pocket more than once, because the clip wasn't tight enough and I never bothered to fix it properly. Went a couple of years w/o carrying an knife after I lost it before I decided to try to find one again. By that time, the knife was discontinued and all I could find were blem versions of the knife.
Bought 3 of them to in case I lost 1 again. Just sold 2 of those and am keeping 1 as a user BUT I also bought 4 other "like new" versions of the knife in silver and black (both plain and combo bladed) for my collection of Ken Onion designed knives.
The only other knife that I recall losing (more likely misplaced) was a cheap balisong that I have made up for losing by recently buying many other much better and more expensive balisongs since.
