Knives come and gone

[riversidedep]

Well, inane posts or not, I'll add to this one.......

I've only ever lost two knives: a Buck 501 Squire and a Gerber Folding Sportsman I. Both were lost in the 1980s, and I have since replaced both of those with multiple knives of the same brand and model. The only knife I had that I no longer have and wished I did is a pre-pat. pend. Buckmaster I bought in 1984 or 1985. I realized in the early 1990s that I was never going to use it, so I gave it to a good friend who admired it. They have been discontinued for a long time and cost $300 to $400 now when they can be found.

I had a Buck 112 Ranger stolen out of my car. The one I replaced it with is just not the same. When I use it, I just get mad at the punk who lifted the first one. I know who did it. I just can't prove it. Oh well, you can't take them with you any how.

I wish I had my first knife. It was an Imperial slip joint with blue and green plastic scales and was probably 1.5 or 2" closed length and I suspect the size of a Vic Classic. I was in the second grade and had purchased it myself. The second Imperial (the replacement) was a bit larger at probably 3" closed length with pearly white plastic handles. It's gone too. A Case Barlow came next which I wore out..... basically my Dad wore it out sharpening it on a grinding wheel. It became unsafe to carry.

I'm 21. Just realizing I know nothing compared to you guys. And I'm naturally inquisitive. So I ask a lot of questions. It's a bad habit but I can't seem to break it

I started a "minor topics and random stuff thread" a while back. You should ask your questions there rather than starting a new thread every time. It's a fun thread becuase it's basically a "sub-general", and when you bring something up in there you'll get plenty of answers. But you won't be polluting general with unnecessary threads

Just some advice

And what forum is that in?
