Has anyone ever found a knife?

[Unicorns.Are.For.Men]

I saw a thread like this on another forum so i decided to ask it one here. Has anyone ever found a knife or anything else cool? I have found a few

First thing i found was a spyderco h1 salt when i was diving off the coast and metal detecting

Second thing i found was a go pro in a river that still had footage on it and worked

The last thing i found was the most interesting here is the story so i recently bought a house and there was a picture that i didnt bother to take of as i liked it. So some years later i decided to remodel so i removed the picture. To my suprise there was a safe. So i had a lock smith come and open it. There wasn't anything in there but it was still pretty cool

So now it's your turn

A hunk of junk.

When I was 12 I went to the big bear mountains and in the snow suit i rented I found 80+ in cash plus a credit card. I put it in my wallet with my rightful money. Later that day I lost it all. Talk about Karma. I should've given the money back to the rental place to be returned tot the owner.

My first good knife was actually found on campus my freshman year of college. A partially serrated CRKT m16 tanto, which started the whole craze.

As a 12 year old in 1965 I found a partially buried SAK Spartan in the lawn at the local swimming pool. Carefully cleaned it up (it must have been there overwinter) and then jettisoned my less useful Boy Scout folding knife. For the past 48 years the right front pocket of all of my pants wears out right where a Spartan is located.

I have found a few SAKs, Gerber's and such over the years. Lots of cell phones lately.

I did once find a safe in a friend's garage. He had bought a fix-r-up-r and as we power-washed the concrete floor a cylinder was exposed in the floor. It was a safe but it was filled with mud. There is a creek across the street that flooded massively in recent years.

Must have been cool finding the Go Pro, was the Spyderco in the water?

Someone in Denver Airport recently "found" my Spyderco Caly 3.5 out of my luggage.

I've told this story before in another one of these threads but its one of the coolest things I've ever had happen to me...

One time I found a super rare west German Sig P226 with butt mag release in excellent condition (minus a little surface rust). I found it on some property I was looking at buying when I had inherited some money. I didn't buy the place in the end but I talked to the owners (an old couple) and they let me file the paperwork and go threw the process and in the end (after the required checks) I was awarded the gun. I made a huge mistake in selling it (for $850) a couple years later, I needed the money and it was literally impossible to find mag's for the gun (it had one in it) so it was pretty impractical as a user and it wasn't quite in collectors shape and again I needed the money.

I found an old cruddy Chinese lockback gerber in a forest once.

I found a throwing star at a local baseball diamond when I was 11 or 12. My dad took it away a few hours later when a friend and I were trying to stick it in our fence.

Yes, twice, and I still have both of them..

The first one was when I was about 10 (that would've been circa 1978-79) - it's a Parker Cut Co. Mustang, and at the time, it looked like someone tried to cut an electrical wire (I found it directly under a power line) and burnt the blade badly (and prob themselves too!). My dad ground down the blade to get rid of the substantial blade damage (maybe we should have left it alone?!):




The second one was a several years later on a trail very close to where I found the first one - it's a Camillus "Jim Catfish Hunter" Model 3:




Nothing since then... maybe I should head back to that spot again!

I once found an old, really beat up, rusted, and worn fishing/scaling knife at a park, but that's pretty much it.

Yeah i was metal detecting while i was diving it was under 2ft of sand it was still in perfect condition and still have it

I have found a couple. One was a spyderco that had been ran over several times so the texture on the handle was now asphalt. I found a new handle that fit and replaced it. Was my first ever EDC and I finally threw it away a few days ago as the blade was damaged beyond repair.

Found one on the way to a hunters education class here in Kentucky when I was about 10. Seen something shiny in the road and told my father to stop. It was an uncle henry three bladed knife. Still had one of the blades open like someone had left it on the bumper while using it and forgot about it. Still have the knife but it hardly gets used.

I found a piece of junk folder, forget the brand, still have it at work though...

I rescued this from woodshed in RedWood Valley, this is it after burning thru a 1/2 doz disc's with my orbital sander, handle was held on with monofilament & electrical tape.

now with a DIY handle fabbed out of Oak scraps.

I found a cheap 'Columbia' SAK knockoff in my yard (a bit unsettling since I have little kids). Awful excuse for a pocket knife, but I took the saw out for a survival kit, and the screwdriver bits for a keychain.

I found a Kershaw ricochet with g10 scales in a local mcdonalds a couple months back
