I wore a Gerber 'touche belt buckle knife since early eighties.(knife folded into the buckle)
Clearing brush at " The Place", and, you gotta know it, came up missing.
As I had been in thick brush all day, I didn't have a clue as to where it might be.
As the buckle was still there, I keep reaching for it, and made me even sad-er every time I remembered it was gone.
Looked every where for a week, on and off, no dice.
Got ahold of Gerber, and they hadn't made these since 1988, found a couple on eBay for a couple hundred dollars........no way.
The lady at Gerber even searched around the shop/warehouse, she must have been a knife person.......still no dice.
So I retired the buckle, just so I wouldn't pizz myself off every time I reached for it.
After a couple of weeks, just wouldn't give up on finding it, I happened to step on it in tall grass, saw something shiny, and there I was!
Put it back in the buckle and it's staying retired, in a place of honor.
So don't give up hope.
