I recently bought a lot of Airport confiscated knives and found 3 that have names or initials.
I would gladly work a deal to return these to the rightful owners. I know this is like looking for the needle in the haystack but thought I would give it a shot. Maybe these mean something to someone.

Two are 110's
One is a 522

Of course the owners would have to come up with the correct names/initials and some description of location and any special characteristics of the knife.

Thanks,
I know will be a shot in the dark, but you just never know. Stranger things have happened..
Just hate to see someone loose a knife as nice as these that was probably a special gift.

yes to be comended!!! however you should list what airport they come from or at the least were you bought the lot from so as to not be overloaded with request.... hay my dad lost his at a bus termonal!!!
 
Probably impossible. Most of the readers here know enough about knives to NOT carry them in an airport. I can't think of a practical way to match a knife to an owner based on initials or non-specific engravings.

If the knife has a first and last name, the phone book is your best resource.

Good Luck,

Very Cool! If you just reunited one knife with its original owner, that would make your day. Needle in a haystack? Oh yes! But worth it if it worked out.
Good Luck.
 
Yes, would be way cool, Joe

I will say that the knives came from confiscated sales by Boulder City, Nevada. Could be from several sources in that area.

Unfortunately nothing to be able to do a people search on. Was just a thought, and I have time to play with it.

The way they just confiscate stuff here in the US. I know for a fact that in Japan, they give you the option to mail the stuff you yourself. Is that an option here in the US?

My dad had his SAK in his pocket when boarding a plane in Toronto recently and they kindly gave him an envelope and let him address it and they mailed the knife back to him. No fuss at all. Maybe the American air carriers need the eBay revenues to stay in the air. ;)
 
My German father in law purchased a high dollar circular saw blade and had it in his carry on :eek: . Digging for something, my wife noticed it and knew it wasn't going on the plane. Since we had already sent the checked baggage through we couldn't just move it to a different bag. I talked to the counter personnel at American (?) and they agreed it was not likely to get past security. They handed us a special envelope that went into the checked baggage hold. He picked it up OK at the other end. Might work for knives. Probably harder to steal this than out of regular luggage cuz the envelope must disappear also. If not it is covered with prints.
Of course this only works if you remember you have the knife before you get to security... ;)
 
I think there is a company that has started marketing "mailer" kits at the stands in airports that sell newspapers and travel stuff, it comes complette with a bubble mailer, marker and address label and postage paid.

This is specifically for folks who forget and bring a pocketknife to the airport. I you don't want to give it away, you can get on of these kits and drop it in the outgoing mail back to your house.
 
on the subject of searchin, you shoulld have seen security when the plates and screws in my forearm and the artifical knee i have set off the alarms! matered not that i had Xray cards/ papers from my doctor!! it was funney in the us and laffable in mexco as they could not read english! good thing i have no issues on being surched, as i had been for years at nuclear securitly levles for the sites i worked at ;) .
