First knife my wife bought me - a Cold Steel medium Voyager. I still like it. Also the Delica Wharnie prototype, etched PE, and SE that Sal sent me.
- best wishes, Jazz.

:o You would have to ask Sal on that one.
Just one of the hundreds of different materials Spyderco have tested as knife scales over the years.

I've got three that will be with me till the end.

The Lava was a birthday gift from my girlfriend (now wife), the first year we were dating. She bought it on a whim, hoping I would like it. She was right.

Next up is a Santa Fe Stoneworks Delica with Blood Jasper and Jet onlay she gave me the first Christmas we lived together. It gets carried from time to time, but mainly reserve it for special occasions.

Last, is the Spy-DK that was her gift to me on our wedding day. She was trying to find a knife that matched the color of my bowtie, and that one came the closest.

This RWL34 Mule was gifted to me by a Spyderco forum member (farnorthdan). The genuine kindness of the gesture makes it sentimentally invaluable to me. I'll have this Mule forever. Thanks again Dan! :)

My brother gave me this maybe 30 years ago.

After research it turns out it was only 15 years ago.

I was given a second generation Police model as a graduation gift from the police academy by my cousin, and her boyfriend in 1995. I still have it.

Does a gift you gave to someone else count? As is the custom I gave this dagger to my wife when we got married. Gold, coral, & abalone inlaid spiders, [that’s how it relates to this forum:)] flowers, Spider web, etc.; silver fittings, all on bone scabbard and hilt. Hand forged Edo period blade

My parents gave it to me and the same one to my brother. I can't remember how old we have been, but I know, I was surprised that we received knives in such a young age (maybe 10 years old?).
Later my dad taught me how to sharpen knives with this knife.
Skip forward a few years and this knife was the first knife that "bit" me. I rammed it tip first in my thumb, and it went surprisingly deep. The scar is roughly 0.45" long.
Skip even more years forward and this was the first and only time, until now, a knife caused a little bit more harm to me. It went through the jeans and deep into my thigh. Needed stitches and left the biggest scar on my body, that always reminds me to be careful with sharp things.
And that is how I put it away. Have not cleaned it after the last cut or used it for anything other. I think I will let it in this state.
I know, it's a cheap, cheap, low quality, ugly looking knife, with blade play and a low grade steel, but nevertheless it's my first knife and also the one with the most "story" behind it.

My first knife was a gift from my grand father : a Victorinox Huntsman. Of course i lost it a few years after heavy use in the forest, i was about 12 when I lost it.

Then my father bought a set of 2 custom Londons made in Breizh (north west france), one for him and the other for me. I think this one is the one I'll never part with.

Another one i will never let go : the Manix 2 LW in SPY27 Spyderco sent me. It was part of a giveaway and might not be able to be counted as a gift. For me, it is one for sure.
:respect In the collection :respect : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.
