i was pretty deep in the bush north of timmins ontario and found this giant "japan steel" kitchen knife in a steep bank. someone must have dropped it from 100 feet above that point? or thrown it up from the river?
strange....only knife i've ever found in the bush though so i suppose it's worth starting a thread. anyone else found any?

I found an old rusted up slip joint in my backyard when I was like 5 or somthing. Unfortunatly, I think I threw it out :(
 
Several years back I found a case trapper slip joint by the river that runs near here. It looked like some one was fishing and then set there knife down and forgot about it. I took it into the post office (very small) and gave it to the postmaster. He said he would ask the guys that he new who fished that area if any of them had lost there knife.

Omg you found my knife! I was killing ninjas up there with my chef knife and I had killed all but one, and he was charging me with his katana, so I knew my chef knife wouldnt work against him, so I threw it at his head, missing it by about 1 cm. Then I pulled out a frost cutlery uber tactical survival knife and cut his head off with it. I took his katana home, and buried all the bodies.:eek:
 
When I was a kid I found a butcher knife in the small town where my grandparents lived. Grandpa put a handle on it and I used it for years until it got left in a move. I also found a "premium stock knife" on the highway. It had been in the sun and rain so long,it was rusted shut and the scale on the bottom turned red and the top turned gray.cleaned and sharpened it and it cleaned most of my first deer.
 
Maybe I am crazy or just a product of my environment but I would think maybe it's a murder weapon someone is trying to get rid of. I know...too much forensic shows for me!

What are the two bottom knives?

Well, kitchen knives are the most often used knives in crimes/murders... You found it in a hard to get to area, were it was likely dropped or thrown... I agree with the others, you found EVIDENCE!!!
Lol

haha always possible bear! not sure you'd have to go that far north into the bush to hide it though. far beyond the artic watershed passed where roads end.

the wood handle is a fellow BFer Bruce Culberson custom, my perfect bush blade. and i can't stop buying stuff from bruce. lots in the works!
the bottom micarta handled knife is a tyson breeden bushcrafter.
both great knives from great guys!

I have found quite a few fillet knives where I live. I took a walk just a few days ago and found a fillet knife. None were in good condition, but they were all just sticking in the ground seemingly hiding behind a tree.
 
Cool find, hope it's not a murder thing like Bear suggested! I think he and my wife have been watching the same programs.

When I was very young my dad took me hunting, and I carried a small fixed blade boot knife. We had to slide down a hill at one point though and it came loose, and couldn't be found. Many years later (probably almost a decade) I was hiking through those woods and found the damn thing! It had a light coat of surface rust but was all fixable.
 
I have found quite a few, everything from a full featured SAK in a custom sheath to a nice liner-lock folder.

I have found a hand full of rusty knives like the one shown.

The SAK with sheath was found over 20 years ago, it was laying on the ground at a fence crossing, the top rivet on the belt loop was torn out, I imagine it happened climbing over the fence. I still have that knife and keep it in the center console of my truck.

The story on the liner-lock is worth telling. I was returning to the trail-head after doing a long loop. There was a short trail that connected the loop to the parking lot. As I reached this trail, retracing my original path into the woods, I looked down and saw this nice knife lying in the leaves. As I picked it up it occurred to me that is was just like the one in my pack, low and behold, it was the one from my pack that had slipped out through a small tear in a seam.

goatariba-
It sure is a nice feeling to find a knife in the bush, almost as cool as finding ca$h! I once was hiking with someone who I just gave a green Mora 760 to and she was happy. At the end of the hike it had fallen out of her pack or back pocket, and we weren't too happy but I knew someone found it and maybe got that same feeling of, Wow a new knife!

Thanks for sharing and what an original thread too!:thumbup:

I found a cheap Winchester hunting knife that Walmart sells years ago while hunting. I went to the campsite where some young kids where camping and they left it there. They left the campsite pretty trashy too.

I found an orange handled machete on a pipeline once...figured it likely fell off the mower and just gave it to Glenn, one WMA officers I know up at Prentice Cooper.

I find this thread interesting on another level.....a couple of months back I read a similar article written by a member of another forum who lives on another continent.
