A childhood friend gave this to me when we were only kids. He used his own money to buy it. I think we may have been 9 or 10. It will stay with me forever. It actually may have been my first knife??? I do not remember one before it. I think I had a machete before this.

Endura for reference.

This was given to me by my best friend in middle school. I've had it going on half a century now. My bestie is gone, but I have this to remember him by.

Being a teacher (actually asked to teach to 3 to 6 years old), I LOVE the idea of 9yo kids running with a machete !

Ha! Lived in the woods in Florida. I think I had a BB gun before the knife too.

Old enough to remember when, as Freshman in High School, my Chemistry teacher asked if anyone had a knife. I busted out my Buck 110 and she never batted an eye, opened it, used it, closed it, and returned it to me with a thank you. Now, the cops would close down the school.

I have a Buck 110 which was a groomsman gift for my best friend's wedding. It has my initials engraved on the brass bolsters. He passed away last year, way way too early.

ImageA friend who got me serious collecting and using knives over 20 years ago gifted this Delica last Christmas. I’ve actually never cared much for the Delica but his persistence that I needed to try one has started me rethinking my tastes . Dan

I have grown to really like them. They're a handy, time proven design. They really do grow on you 😊. That's a really nice one.

The First Picture is of the greatest gift i ever got. My Girlfriend gave me this 6 years ago when we were 1 year together.

Image

These 2 knives are my oldest knives in my collection. The largest one i got from my late grandfather he was and will always be the biggest inspiration in my life. I did not spend as much time with him as my brother did. But i do remember all the fun moments we had the 3 of us together building camps in a nearby forrest. He was our teacher on how to use knives and build many many things. And he is responsible in a way that Me and my Brother carry a folding knife everyday.
The Smaller one is definitely the oldest of my collection my dad gave it to me one day. It belonged to his grandfather who died long before i was born. So one day i will give it to one of my brothers kids. And hope he will treasure it and all the memory’s attached to it as i do.
