Have you ever found a knife?

Off the top of my head, over the course of @ 20 years, I have found 2 leatherman supertools, a gerber multitool, sog trident, crkt linerlock, and a benchmade 585 osborne.

I had read this thread and thought to myself, I wish I would find a knife.
Then today, there it was, lost and alone, lonely. Well it will be among its own kind now, sorta, it's the only fixed blade I own.
 
Found a spydie edge endura, rusted but cleaned up nice. Had a hard time getting some skull fragments out though(hahaha). Found a perfectly functioning sawed off shotgun when I was six, which my dad annexed. A few crushed gold rings, with no legible markings. An old ford bronco. A big jambox which still sounds good, a little tinny at the low end of bass. Found $50 on the floor of a Chinese restaurant, no other customer but the lady behind the counter could tell I found something(my eyes must have been beaming), but it wasn’t hers cause it was folded in a paper with some Spanish markings on it. Only knife I ever lost was a kershaw leek part serrated.

1986--Adak, AK--Found a Buck 505 while ptarmigan hunting. Cleaned it up and carried it for probably 10 years. Still have it, longest time of any knives I own. It is scratched, dented, part of the inlay is chipped, and tip is blunted. Sharpened it many times.

Found a brand new, leatherman at work, no one ever came back for it. Still have it.

Found a mini Victorinox keychain knife.

Junker switchblade and some trash hardware store knives.

Found a rusty fiskars hatchet in a storm drain near Wilmington De... prolly should have left that there.
 
I found this baby along the railroad tracks, back in the mid 60's when I was a teenager, riding my bicycle. My Dad always said it had good steel in it. The knife was in very bad shape when I found it. The stacked leather handle was very loose as was the pummel. The blade was what I call, "bellied out" from someone sharpening only the, "sweet spot."
These were issued in WWII if I'm correct.
The sheath was dry rotted.
I had this knife for decades and did absolutely nothing with it until I found this place.
I commissioned a now well known maker to clean it up for me. He drilled out the Kimmel and took the stacked leather handle apart. He cleaned the thang up and regluged every piece of leather and repinned the aluminum Kimmel.
Then he put one sweet arse grind on it and straightened the edge up.
I'm sure you seen these in gun and knife shows, but not one like this. Then I had a new sheath made for her.
