I stopped by a pawn shop the other day just to see what they had. Mostly looking for good deals on .308 ammo. I always look at the guns and knives they have on hand. Up on the wall, sittin on a case that had some Randals and some handmades in it I see em, bigger than life! I take them down and look just to make sure and yup, a pair of knives that I made way back in 98. I couldn't believe it! What really amazed me is how beautiful they were, lol! I had made these back when I was still using steel punches to mark my blades. On one side was COOPER. On the other the serial numbers. The serial number was made up of the month day and year I finished the knife plus the number the knife was for the year. These two are 13A and 13B and were finished in February of 98. They were made from the steel of an old saw mill blade that was over four foot in diameter. It was huge! Anyway, I grabbed em up and was happy to get em back! They were the last knives I made before my brother died in June of 98.
Here's a couple pics of em.

cant believe someone would let go of them. They look very nice
 
Those are nice. Almost have the same shape as the elvish swords from lord of rings. i really like the shape and might have to copy the shape next time i fire up the forge. and who pawns works of art like that. i mean i have gone to the pawn shop and seen red and blue matching harley davidsons. honestly the seller woulda defently made way more on ebay. Its fate man you were suspose to
get them again im sure.;)
 
Unreal find, they look incredible, luck or destiny was there for you that day :thumbup:
 
that is too cool!!!!!!!!! Now I know that itch needs scratched:thumbup: :D
 
Someone probably stole them and went to the pawn shop. I cant see anyone who paid money for something of that quality pawning it just like that.

Thats awesome that you got them back!

I'm curious. Did you pay more to get them back than you sold them for? This is way cool. Congrats!
 
Thanks for the kind words guys!!
Scot, yup I did.
It's amazing seeing your own work so long after you made it. It sure didn't look that good to me back then! :D
