For me the answer is simple. I would want to have the fixed blade hunting knife that my dad made back in 1969. It was made from a piece of scrap metal, and he put a simple cheap wooden handle on it, but to this day I remember it. It was the only knife my dad ever made; rather crude, but it turned out real nice. Of all the knives in the world, it is the one that I would most want to have, because my dad died of cancer back in 1984, and I don't know what ever became of that knife. You see my dad was a great man. He was a great man because he was my dad.
