What Caused This Damage to the Knife Spine?

[GPyro]

Someone was jumping a starter solenoid with that blade.
I used to have a few that looked just like it.

Yep.
I was wondering about that.

Great story.

Good on you pjsjr .
I was thinking that guy deserves a knife.

The Buck community is a pretty great bunch of folks!

Fishman sure made somebody's day.

It could have been involved in making meth or at least exposed by a spill. He says it was stolen and that can be very likely that some meth cooker stole it and using it there. I’ve heard some horror stories about that stuff and cooking it produces some bad chemical reactions. I’d be very careful handling it just in case.

Interesting back story on this knife. The blade has Jeff's B'day '95 engraved on one side while the other side says Love Dad. Jeff also carved his name on the back of the sheath. It was an unusual name and I found Jeff in Minnesota and contacted him to see if he wanted his knife back. It was a birthday present from his dad when he was 12. He said the knife was stolen about 10 years ago. He did want it back so I should be able to return it to him this week. It cleaned up nicely and I sharpened it. He said the spine wasn't damaged when it was stolen, so there is no telling what happened. We are just trying to figure out how a knife stolen in Minnesota made its way to a flea market in south Mississippi.

A few things:

* It's commendable that you tried to find the original owner of the knife. RESPECT.
* It's amazing that you found him. RESPECT.
* It's great that you're giving it back to him. RESPECT.
* You did a great job on the restoration. RESPECT.

WELL PLAYED!

It does look very much like something like that happened.

That’s a great story and even better you found the guy and got it back to him! Great job restoring it too

Good job for sure. I would have recommended "Spa Treatment by Buck"

It’s awesome that you was able to find the guy and contact him to get it back to him. Also just as awesome that Pjsjr offered you one to replace it. I don’t have anything of value to add but just wanted to say how nice of both of you!

Very Good of Both of you to take it upon yourselves to do good. I would say it's to late to say don't handle it.

Admirable, both of you. You both have restored my faith in humanity. Really nice to know that there are still good people in this world, thank you.
