So I recently sold a blade to a buddy of mine and he ended up educating on a what is apparently a old tradition among knives makers/buyers and I was wondering if anyone has heard of this and/or does it.
So when a knife is exchanged, I think traditionally among knifemaker to knifemaker, a coin is given by the maker of the knife to the recipient of said knife, as a token of a continued and lasting respect and friendship.
He gave me a coin at first but the Google corrected us and I gave him one, a dime which ironically had some significance to him but I don't think it mattered as long as it's a coin
I haven't researched it since but intend to and to continue this now but anyone else out there know of this?
