The knife was in the rain gutter on the roof of........The Hard Times. Scary stuff here in the Forks.

The knife was in the rain gutter on the roof of........The Hard Times. Scary stuff here in the Forks. That's a weird place to find a knife. Looks like it's been up there awhile, there wasn't any handle material left?
Yeah, definitely would be cool to go snowmobiling and boarding up there.

People toss knives on roofs when running from cops, or after cutting someone.
Edit
Or if ninjas are on the roof

Thanks SLR, I gotta say I think out of all the blades on here, that Viking blade you did is the one I wish I had.

This was supposed to be my girlfriend's bday present last August...
Just have to polish it and make the sheath.
Damascus Blade is from Texas Knife Supply, very reasonable at $60.
The handle materials are sea shells, cast in an acrylic resin and I got them from Jantz for $50 I think. I will probably never use this type of handle material again. Pain in the ass to work with, but do like the look of them.
Did a "M" file pattern for Mindy.

Just did a quick grab on what was close to arm's reach.
Left to right, we have a Gerber Suspension multi-tool, and a Kershaw Blur open-assist blade - those are my EDC knives. Next one is some cheapo I got at REI but it holds an edge surprisingly well. My Leatherman Raptor EMS trauma shears, which are probably one of the best shears/multi tools I have ever owned, they are amazing. Next up is a RAT-5 survival knife that stays in my day pack, and a USMC-issue Ka-Bar.
There's an interesting story to that, apparently this trapper back in the early days of the company, wrote to tell them how he had to kill a bear with only his blade. He wasn't that well educated, and in the note he said he used to the blade to "kil a bar" - and the Ka-Bar was thusly named. I unfortunately lost my issued one years ago, but they are still one of the best combat blades on the planet.
Last one to the right is a "Panga" machete that I picked up in Africa (although it's made in China.) I didn't like the plastic handle on it, so I took it over to a lumber yard and had custom wood grips put on it for about 5 bucks US.
I also have a cane knife from Africa that was probably cut out of some old vehicle sheet metal, real rough but makes for a great story. Have a few throwing knives, a couple competition swords, etc.

Those are fleshing knives. The green one being my pride and joy from Sheffield England. It has scraped an awful lot of critters let's just say.... and I can almost shave with it still after touching it up with the back side of the pelting knife...
