Some 16+ years ago I bought, on a whim, the now long-discontinued "Viking Dirk" by Windlass. Ever since, it lived on my headboard, largely unmoved, along with several other knives and an Assortment of Things.
A few days ago, it randomly occurred to me that I had not seen it recently. It had, sadly, been more prone to being knocked about and occasionally falling between the headboard and mattress, but always very audibly so. It's hardly small, after all.
When I got home from work yesterday, I went searching for it, but to no avail. It's not under the bed, it's not behind the headboard, it's not buried under the ever-growing pile of things I'll deal with later, it's nowhere. Just...gone.
I can only accept my girlfriend's suggestion, that somehow, it fell into the trash and was thrown away, without being noticed. I doubt this tremendously, but that's all I have.
I don't even have a decent photo of it.
I am a combination of sad and angry. Alas.

Stolen or purposefully trashed. Get a safe, or at least a "stack on" gun cabinet share the keys with no one.

Went to Valhalla. Sorry for your loss. Could it have gotten trapped or gone inside somewhere, the floorboards or the wall? I have a 3cm/1" wide, 5cm/2" deep gap around the rooms under wooden strips, where the walls meet the floor, and if the strip peels off a knife could definately get lost in there, at least up to the grip.

Was this what it looked like? ![1_bb0a635140a709474872f211782850d9.jpg](//storage.forums.net/1694914/thumbnailer/ALtrfzmeLhyK0YYydfht.png)

Yeah, one of those. I'm sure I've got photos of mine alongside some other knives and swords, but not on this device.
I've given up hope that it'll turn up, but if it does, it will be a moment of glee.

A ray of hope.... I've 'put things in a safe place' and then forgotten WHERE that safe place was or that it existed. I found 2 swords I thought my kids had when I moved. You may get lucky.

Or it travelled back in time 16 years to the very first moment you've seen it.

Sadly, or gladly depending on how you choose to look at it; I have far too many sharp and pointies to put in a gun safe. A bank vault maybe but that's not practical and even then it would have to be a big one. I think I may have an addiction problem with shiny and sharp objects.
