Knife nostalgia

[butterflyknives]

Well right now i just realized that the three main knives that i've been carrying for the past three weeks were the first three (decent knives not the cheap flea market special ones) i got five years ago. Now that i moved from home ( where i felt most of my knives). The knives are a cold steel SRK a SOG Flash 2 and swiss army recuit. Just looking at these knives reminded me alot about my past adventures and how i grown up so fast since high school.
Is it just me or does anyone else get nostalgia from their older knives when they look at them or use them.

Too old to call 5 years nostalgia, 5 years seems recent to me,oh to be young again.

When I saw "Nostalgia" the first thing that came to my mind was a knock-off Buck 110 from when I was a kid... 20+ years ago lol

I got a Buck 110 that belonged to my father. It's about 1977 or so, it is charged full of memories everytime I pull it out to look at it. I also have a 4 inch Ruana that is full of memories too. All my older knives have some nostalgia, some more than others of course mainly because I've given away the ones that don't really have personal attachment. Some are waiting their turn also. LOL

17 years ago I saw the first Rambo knife and sat with a blacksmith for a week 2 hrs a day to make something similar.
Lost it during the move out of my college dorm to Bombay.

Understandable, 5 years is just over a 1/4 of your life time but that's less than a 1/10 of mine. Wish I was as serious about knives as you were at 13.

Amen!

Got this yesterday, very similiar to a knife I had as a boy, and it's even older than me!

During several years of my misguided youth (16 through my twenties) I carried a large Kissing Crane folding stilleto. If that knife could talk... it's testimony could send me to prison.

Kidding But the sight of it did save my bacon a few times.

I'm 42 now, and a lot smarter. I still have that knife, and I come across it every once in a while when I'm rumaging through my old knives that I'll never agin carry. It's old, the brass is tarnished, and the lock and spring are coated with a thin layer of rust, but it still locks up tight, and I still think it's cool. I put a lot of pocket-miles on that knife and I used it for a lot of things, and allthough I'm not the sentimental type, I don't think I could bring myself to part with it.
