Lost Knife at Sollie Smith...REWARD

[Gun Rod Bow]

My buddy lent me his folding Buck knife at the Sollie Smith ramp on the Wilson on Thursday. I guess I left it on the beach right under the bridge because I LOST IT!!!!

It is inscibed with "HIS". It was a wedding present from his friend. His wife has a matching one that says "HERS" on it. Mark has carried it for 15 years.

It's not worth much to anyone but the owner. I would pick it up if I saw it. Obviously after 15 years it can't be duplicated.

If anyone frequent's that launch, please talk it around with others. I'll gladly offer $50 for it's return.

I feel awefull about it.

Thanks

GRB- put up a sign or 3 at Sollie. Odds are very good somebody would raher have the $50.00.

Good luck Bruce. A good person would find it and turn it over for free. I hope it gets returned either way.

[foxer]

I may be down that way tomorrow. I will look for it

[Longhunter]

GRB sorry to hear this. Jeff and I took out after about 4 other boats that went down after you guys headed down.Wish we had found it.

Maybe put a little poster up at Tiil. Bait.

Anyway it was nice meeting you!
Good luck with the Knife.

FYI,

I sent Marie an e-mail and asked her to put up a sign at her store if she would be so kind.

This was Thursday, I think I met you on Wednesday Paul (?I-Fish Hat?).

I went back Thursday PM after dark and looked it over real good with a flashlight. I saw some sign that others had been there.

I'm pretty sure someone picked it up. I would have. I'd just like to get it back if at all possible.

Thanks All

Do I hear $55? :grin:

Seriously, I can see how you would feel bad about that, Bruce.

I think Miss B is right, someone who found it would likely gladly trade it for the $$. Just gotta get the word out.

I'd ask you how the fishing was, but really, we don't want to know why you would be using a friend's knife at the takeout. :wink:

Hope it turns up. I wouldn't take more than $25 for it. :grin:

:cheers:

Good Luck. I bet it finds it's way back with no need for a reward. Soon as word gets around. LB

[Mikeymoto]

If its a Buck lite, I have a couple of them that I got free from F&H News. I'd be willing to send one your way if it will help you get out of a jam. You could take it in and have it engraved for under $5. and you'ld be good to go.

Bruce,

Your a stand up guy.

The knife is a "Buck Lite", short 4-5 inch blade with a black lightweight hard plastic handle.

Any way we can get a notice put up at the guide shop. Mark P is a long time friend of Pete. Anybody got Pete & Marilyns e-mail address?

[Gun Rod Bow]

Mikeymoto,

Thanks for the offer. That's really kind. I hope it will turn up. I have a feeling it will turn up in the next few weeks. If it doesn't, I will take you up on your offer.

Thanks

[Mikeymoto]

GRB if you need it just email me. Good luck. Mikeymoto

Still Hoping

[fishbait]

Bump............. Man o man, somebody knows somebody that found this knife and can collect the reward..

[tommy2915]

That sucks----- Hope it turns up

[Gun Rod Bow]

:dance: Just got a call from someone that says he was there three weeks ago and picked up the knife at Solloie!! :dance:

He said he has it, but has to find where he left it. He's pretty sure he can get it to me (90%).

Big relief.

I hope when Mark get's it back, it'll just add to the lore of his pocket knife.

Thanks all who have been concerned...especially Fishabait.

[skrimmy]

Now that's better news than a 75# nook....glad to hear it Bruce.

[steelhead22]

I can't believe it. I remember this story a couple of weeks ago and thinking to myself, "Man, that sucks, but that thing is long gone." That's great if you get it back. graemlins/applause.gif There's still good people out there.

[fishbait]

Bruce, way cool......... It will just make the knife all that more valuable to Mark.
I have a pocket knife my father in law gave to me the last Christmass he was alive. Left it on the banks of the Beaverhead river in Montana one evening. After fishing the Ruby for a few days the water dropped and we were back on the beaverhead, went to clean a few fish and there was my knife right where I had left it. I still got it and treasure it.
If you meet the guy to pick of the knife, if he wants some fish to eat, let me know, I got a freezer full and will gladly give him some fish........ seein how I know you probably don't have any to spare after your performance this year.. :dance: :dance: and huntin when you shudda been fishin.. :shrug: Ya know, this just go to prove that the world is truly round.

[wootersen]

Wow !!!...that's awesome... graemlins/applause.gif

[skein]

If he's smart, he'll forget the reward and just go to work for you! :shocked:

The bennies are to die for! :grin:

Good news, GRB. We've all been sweatin' this one out. And way to go on not giving up.
