Knife you would be buried with?

Probably a Leatherman Supertool. The awl and saw would come in handy just in case I'm not quite dead yet.
:D
 
I think I'd go with the cheapest piece in my collection, so I could pass on the good stuff to the next generation of Knifeknuts. After all, I'm dead, what use is it going to be to me?. At this point that would probably be my SAK camper model.

From one of the many versions of the blues song St. James infirmary...

"Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches,
Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat,
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat."

Actually, the only thing I ever mentioned to bury me with is my old Hohner 1896 B-flat harmonica.

For knives it would have to be just like my EDC, a SAK and a stockman.
 
I would leave them all to my kids and grandkids.

But...

If one believes in a Christian Resurrection, then it would have to be a Mayo TNT as anything else would be rusted to ruin by then from all the fine water left in the body.

When my body dies, it's going to be burned-up, but I think I'll have my wife toss my Benchmade 805 in the urn along with my ashes.:D.
 
A REKAT Hobbit Warrior since I'll more than likely be going to hell and need a good knife to take on that pu$$y, the Devil. He does have that trident he pokes with so the HW evens things up a bit.

Well...
1)Looking noble and elegant enought to go well with suit
2) Big and shiny, so if the won't let me go to paradise? I could just take it and start cleaning my nails, with a phrase "Oh, really? I don't think so..." ;)
So this would be
Cold Steel Tai Pan (if Russian knife laws would become sane to the time I die)
Cold Steel Ti-Lite (if they won't :( )
 
my burial knife well this one made me think
Would it be one of my dress up knives.. or one of my camping knives ?
Well, after much thought... I figure it will be one of my working knives. The ones I use to work on the car or around the ranch...I beat the dickens out of them and they keep tickin.
I got a $ 5.00 broken tip straight edge spyderco. I re ground the edge and sharpend it. Clip is broken too. BUT this knife has never failed me. Its cut hoses, wire , been down the throats of carbs, scraped tape off mufflers, and cut my food for lunch. its dug in dirt, cut corn stalks, tomato plants, harvested squash... Its been use to gut animals ( I butcherd 100 chickens with it one year... its cut the dog loose from chicken wire, and cut splinters from my hand...
Its my trusty knife, and that is why it would go with me when I walk through the pearly gates

Easy.The same one I said a few years back when this came up.

Whatever one my wife plunged into my back. :)

I agree with this. I hope my son will enjoy them as much as I have.
 
Forget the knives, I want a cell phone. :grumpy: I just hope I'm really dead when they bury me! :eek: Worry 'bout that sometimes... :confused: but if they want to put a knife in the casket with me, I guess I'd want my 24" machete and my Craftsman stainless steel 4" stockman and don't forget my honing steel and sharpening stone! But that's if I die tomarrow because by then I'll have changed my mind about the whole thing! :rolleyes: :)
 
Interesting question. I can understand why someone would want to be buried with a prized possession. However, my sons are knifeknutts and I have promised them they could have whatever I leave behind.

I look at many knives like heirlooms in the making, and hopt that they make it past a couple of generations.

Took the words right out of my mouth. :)

I like to think more in terms of what knife is most likely to keep me alive... Once I'm dead, my son can have my knives and figure out what he wants to do with them.
 
Victorinox Swisschamp. I've had mine for 10 or 12 years and it's still my EDC. Plus, I can use it to turn my harp into a guitar :p
 
My prayer: "Jesus, please don't let anyone be so foolish as to bury a perfectly good knife with my old body once it's used up."

Shalom,
Mark
