I'm curious to see what knives, folding or fixed, that you guys have found that weren't yours before.:thumbup:
 
I found this buried in the front yard of a house I had rented out for years. I managed to track down the maker, he contacted the guy he made it for. I told them I would gladly return it since the guy had paid 175 for it.... And 2 months later I still have it...

Cool find, any details on it? Maker, steel, etc? Is there a legal time limit before it's forfeit? I'd say if you don't hear anything in another month, then send it back to the maker for a refurb and enjoy the find!
 
The maker told me it was legally mine since I found it on my property and he would restore it for me, if I decided to keep it. The guy at the local knife store recognized the work and put me in touch with the maker. C P custom knives right here in my hometown.
 
I found an old Buck folder when I was a kid. I got off the bus and found it lying open on the ground. One of the wooden handles was broken in half/lost but I was thrilled just the same. It had clearly been run over by passing traffic. Fast forward a week or two. I carried it everywhere as I was so proud. While visiting my grandfather I was telling him the story and pulled it out to show him. He chuckled and said it was his. He had stopped near our house and used the knife on the roadside for something. He suspects he laid it in top of the truck and then drove off. I tried to give it back but he wasn't having it.

I later lost the knife in out 3ac backyard. I had the cousins from a skirmish line at arms distance and we combed the yard until we found it. Took a while but I wasn't about to lose it again.

Awesome story!
 
Nice stainless steel diving knife on a coral reef a low tide on Saipan and a cheap balisong with black plastic handle in a parking lot on Oahu.:cool:
 
I've found a few, but always in used beat-up condition. Never find good mint-condition knives just laying around in the woods. And I've lost more than I've found. :(

Buck 110 in an Arkansas state park parking lot, Case peanut laying in a gravel road, two hatchets in the forest, and this Kinfolks knife in the Bighorn Hills.

Several years ago I lost my beater Puma Huntec in a pasture while quail hunting on a family ranch and when trying to retrace my steps to locate it along a cow trail I found a Kershaw Leek. I never found the Puma and not a single family member or friend that I could think of that might have lost the Kershaw ever claimed it. I don't know what it is about finding Kershaws Ken Onion knives, but a couple of years ago I found a Kershaw Scallion on a park trail on a day hike with my dog.
 
I found this thing in a creek around Tahoe area.
I think it's a "Chipaway" ??
