My Green-eyed Monster & I attended Mooseup CT's annual town-wide yard sales (200 venues), with a flea market store or two also taking part in the sale-a-thon, today.
One that I jumped on @ $2, was this 6" unfinished Bowie that the seller had scavenged when cleaning out a former knife factory building (the other knives the seller had were unfinished steak knives).

As soon as I got back home, I ordered a brass cross-guard & a set of black micarta scales, and intend to polish the blade, then fit/finish the knife guard & scales soon.
I also lucked into this like new, un-used, luggage-style shotgun case for any double gun with barrels up to 30" long, for $20 !
