Although I certainly have had many Buck knives over the years, I don't think I could say it was my first.
My Dad was a big Case collector. He had many boxes of 1980's and earlier Case knives worth arguably thousands of dollars when he passed away. I have no idea where any of them went, although not long before he died he gave me a couple of knives he wanted me to have.
But I think my first knife was probably an Schrade Old Timer
Here are a few of my knives.
Originally I had given this to my Dad for his Birthday back in 1993.
This was his daily carry pocket knife
This was my Grandftathers daily carry pocket knife
And my Grandmothers daily carry. It was from my late uncle. As far as I know, it was issued to him by Uncle Sam.
This was the last set that Dad gave me.
Not knife related, but a few more "hand-me-downs"
And a few that I picked up on my own that I actually use instead of keepsake.
I don't have a picture of it, but I also use a 10 pc Outfitters Ridge game processing knife/saw set.
