Any body ever find a knife

I found an Emerson Super CQC-8. It fell out of couch. It was truly amazing and also true.
 
Yup. Found a small hunting fixed blade. Took it home, cleaned it up & sharpened it, then gave it away to a friend. He was happy. He had a new-to-him knife that was razor sharp. If he ever lost it, he would be out nothing. Win-win for him !!!
 
when cleaning out a burnt down house i found a global G2 kitchen knife , 10 years ago, took it to the owner, he looked at the blackened steel, blunt, chipped, and said i could have it, so i took it home,cleaned it , sharpened it and have use it ever since , great knife!
 
I've found a few over the years. Almost always beat-up junkers, but once a Case peanut.

The ones I find are never as nice as the ones I lose. :(
 
Found a lot of knives over the years -

Most unusual ones -
1975 - "found" an 1872 Chassepot bayonet in an army surplus store - price $10. I offered $5 & the guy said "7.50" and I said "Sold". I guess I really "stole" it.

1976, I found a large PIC brand diving knife in 50ft of water in front of the Sunset House in Grand Cayman. Looks like an over-sized WWII Kabar/Camillus MK2 with a plastic handle.

2007 - M5 Imperial bayonet with M8 sheath left behind in a rent house.
 
My dad found a pos multi-tool in his work trailer door lock. Now my 8 year old sister uses it as a mushroom hunting knife.
 
I've found many crappy knives in woods' I hang around. I haven't really found anything decent though.

While hunting a few years back i found a buck 119x beside a gut pile. I looked at it put it back in its sheath and put it back. figuring the owner might realize and come to retrieve it. Two days later I made a trip back to see if it was still there and it was. I still have it and as it turns out it was the only buck I bought out of the woods that season.

Funny!
 
I lost a Dennis Cook fixed blade camp knife about five years ago. Still bummed about it. If anyone wants to find it, it's near Saddle Mountain, west of Phoenix, AZ.
 
A buddy of mine found a very nice old J.A Henckels swing guard at the lake a few yrs back. I have found a few swiss armys and old bucks but thats it.
 
:cool: I found a very nice dive knife dropped on a coral reef one time - I obtained a sheath for it and gave it to my son as he completed SCUBA certification. The only other found knife was a cheap, plastic-handled balisong found in a parking lot.
 
Found a CRKT M16-14sf in the woods a while back at a spot I do some shooting. It was a little rusty in spots and very well used/worn. I took it apart, cleaned and oiled it, resharpened it, and it's not a bad knife. Don't use it much but I like it ok.

I think it's bigger and heavier than that .38 S&W lol
 
I've found several cheapie knives/multi-tools/SAK's over the years. The best were a Queen #77 skinner in the top of a closet when I was helping my Mom clean out a trailer after the tenants were evicted and I found a brand new Gerber Diesel laying in the parking lot of Wal-Mart one night.
 
I was spearfishing once and found a stainless Mora. There was only a speck of rust on it near the edge. Still i couldnt be bothered keeping it, so i swam on.
 
I found a cheap boot knife, homemade Sharpfinger, Greenriver butcher, Victorinox butcher, Victorinox "Mauser", Gerber multi-tool, tiny Boker slipjoint, a rusty fake Buck lockback and recently I found a cheapy linerlock Tac folder with blade broken in two pieces.
 
cant say I ever found a knife worth remembering. But I did LOSE a very very nice, and very very old Case fixed blade on the trail near my house of which im sure someone else found.
 
Knives found:

SAK Classic, on an airplane, pre 9/11
Colonial Scout knife at a Christmas Tree farm
Unmarked Roofing/Carpet knife, on the roof of the County Courthouse
Girl scout Feather-Lite in the woods near the Delaware Water Gap
Case Slim Trapper in a car a friend of mine scrapped

There were a few others, (I used to work as a mechanic for a uniform rental/laundry service, I had to take apart the big dryers to clean once a month, found at least 4-6 knives each time, plus usually about $100 in change and more jewelry than I remember, sure miss that job).
