Okay so I've certainly lost plenty of knives, so someone somewhere must have found the darned things.

Most recently I managed to lose my mini-rukus yesterday. I went on line and discovered that you mostly can't buy that model anymore, and if you can it costs significantly more than the 180 dollars that I paid for mine originally. I was really bummed. So I had started perusing the sites trying to identify a good knife to replace my rukus (and had pretty much decided I was going to have to go down to the local knife shop and try some out or else wait for Blade next year) when my wife called to let me know she had found the knife. Woo hoo! It was like getting a new knife!

That got me to thinking though, this one I found, but most of them I haven't. So someone must have found my old knife somewhere and hopefully they enjoyed it (if I can't get it back I'd rather it not just rust away someplace).

So how about you. Have you ever found a knife? What was it? Where did you find it?
 
Found a Gerber Walker Tactical when I was out in the woods shooting a few years ago. Has the fellas initials and date etched into the clip and his name on the blade but it is so faint I can't make it out. Would've loved to return it to him but couldn't make out the name.
 
I've sort of found knives. My Stepfather passed away and I keep finding pocket knives and multitools all over the place. Not exactly "lost" knives, except a Buck 110 was behind a filling cabinet.
When I was a kid, I had a Buck 110, I can't say I know where that knife went. Almost 30 years later, I inherited my Grandfather's knives, one was a Buck 110, maybe it was mine? Then two days ago I find another 110 that was my Step-father's, well mine now!
I have never found a knife out in the world, the woods, a street, etc...
 
Got pulled over one day by a Trooper. He asked to hold onto my edc while he was doing his traffic stop deal for his safety and totally never gave it back. The worst part was that it had been a gift and had my name and the date of my 21st bday engraved... Glad you found yours!
A couple years ago I was working on a ship and dropped my Gerber MultiPlier down a goose neck vent that was being replaced.
Never gonna get these back. I always wondered what eventually happened to them and all the knives I have lost.
Another member lost his Busse hiking a couple of weeks ago and after posting a note it was recovered and he even got a date out of it! Check it out here..

Found two gerbers, one in the woods near a lake in my parent's neighborhood years ago, another on the beach in Pensacola back in April. No one was around in either occasion and they weren't anything special, so I took them and they became junk-drawer knives.

I've moved twice in the last 5 years and I remember during both unpacking events finding knives that I couldn't remember their origin. They were usually cheap knives from uncles, but it is still pleasant to see them. :)
 
Found a bloody FB hunter-style knife in the 90's when I was living in a crappier part of town. Called the cops that night to report it, they said no violent assaults had been reported and to throw it away haha! This spring I found a cheapo brass handled balisong that looks like it was made for somebody with a 5 year old's hands. Actually it was my 5 year old who spotted it in the snow and picked it up.
 
Wow, Triton posting on non political forum :)
I never found a knife, unless we count my own lost and founds. Once I've lost my S90V Locsha, for about 30 mins, almost gave me a heart attack, but I was sooooo happy and relieved when I found it...
 
Have nevr, ever found a knife, but have lost at least half a dozen, including my circa 2000 Delica at the gym last night. It now joins my Kershaw Leek, Buck Duke, andother Delica, ETC., in someone else's lucky pockets.
 
My sister found a case texas toothpick and gave it to me. I have also found some swiss army knives that I did not know I had.

I love finding things!

All part of my evil scheme to take over the site one subforum at a time.

That's how I felt about the Rukus, I know I know it's not that special but it's by far the most expensive pocket knife that I own.
 
My step-daughter found a nice 3-blade Puma Stockman in the carport a couple years ago that she gave to me.
 
I found a Wenger SAK and a Boker USA Hawkbill (in real rough shape) that had been exposed to the elements for a while. The Wenger now resides in one of my tackle boxes and the Boker is on my desk.
 
When I got out of the Army, my buddy who stayed in asked me if I could send him a fixed blade while he was stationed in the sandbox. So I sent him a Kabar with a custom made George Cubic leather sheath that he taped to his LBE..

He later told me that while running an MSR, a humvee that was carrying all his personal gear hit an IED and blew up losing everything including the kabar and sheath. so I guess I can consider that a "loss', but then again, a Kabar and sheath can be replaced, a buddy can't!

Cheers,
Serge
 
Found three SAK's at various times when backpacking. All were at campsites. Two had black scales ^___^

A buddy lost a knife in a pack that went overboard when canoeing. Couldn't find it in hours of searching. His favorite knife. (We told him not to try and :run" those rapids.) A young man fishing with his dad a couple weeks later found the pack and returned it, including the almost $400US inside.
 
one time after going out and sleeping in my hammock i lost a SAK. then almost half a year later i set up that hammock and found it just sitting in it takin a nap
 
When i was 15 my uncle and a few of his friends were taking me fishing. We stopped outside of a local bar to get some ice and I just looked at the ground and found a knife just sitting there. It was just some crappy sports authority knife but I always look at it wondering who lost it.
 
My roommate decided he should walk home from the bar one night and found a S&W folder in the street. He gave it to me and I use it for tasks that I don't want use my other knives for.
