Boy was he right, as it's my first knife. He gave it to me out of the blue one day and said, "don't let your mom see it." I know its not much but this knife has miles and miles of woods walking, tree climbing, bike riding, snowboarding, skateboarding, dances, and general "trouble making" on her. ;)

It went everywhere with me. The clear plastic handles held up well over the years, and the blade still looks great.

She was always sharpened on Dad's wet/dry sandpaper. Looking back it was perfect for my needs. The thin full flat Warnie cut great, blade held a edge great (or so I thought,) lockup is tight, the blade is also centered when closed.

Thanks for looking :cool:

How old is it? It still looks brand new.

Maybe 15 years or so. It was well cared for, at one time I use to carry it in a blue velvet draw string type bag. Dad thought it was going to be a "collector item." He was kind of wrong about that. As you would not give 10 bucks for her... but I would not take $100 for her. Maybe $150 :D You get the point though.

It was lightly used because I wanted to keep it "nice." Cleaned up every few months or so. Dad hand buffed the handles back once. But yeah, looking at it now you would never know it's story. :cool:
