I can definitely relate to your story. my grandpa was my best friend as well. Take good care of that knife and hopefully you'll have a grandson to pass it on to eventually.

Congrats on finding the knife!

If memory serves me correctly, I noticed in another thread where you had looked for your Grandfather's knife but had not been able to locate it. Is there a story to finding the knife? Just curious.

Great story and history for your family. Thanks for taking time to share.

Great story!

I've got my great grandfather's penknife that he carried for about 30 years. I won't clean it because I can still smell traces of his pipe (he used to scrape it out with the pipe with the file) and I don't carry it because I won't risk losing it.
