Lost and found grails?

[Docscoot]

Who out there has sold a knife only to regret it, and eventually hunt down another to buy back? Here’s mine, sold years ago when I had my first kid and was poor, just got it back yesterday Would love to see your lost and found grails!

Back in 1995 I gave a Parker boot knife to a friend in gratitude for a favor he did me. The knife was a one-piece, stainless steel dagger, about a 5" blade, skeletonized handle. The handle had 3 or 4 round holes, but the most distinct feature was the diamond shaped hole between the little guard points where the handle met the blade.

I really liked that knife. I had it with me during some interesting times (I left home and hit the road at 16, and that knife was my constant companion). I had sewn a piece of leather inside my motorcycle jacket to stick the sheath through with the belt/boot clip of the sheath clipped onto the piece of leather.

I don't have a picture of it, or one like it. Apparently they are so rare that I have never even found a picture of one on the internet.

When I gave it to my friend I figured "They must have made thousands of them. I'm sure I'll be able to get another one some day". Twentyseven years later, and like I said, I've never even seen one. I should have given him a case of beer instead.

I still look for one. At this point, I think I'd be happy just to see a picture of one.

Hope you can at least find a pic so you could have someone on here make one for you!

I could always have one made. But if I were going to own one, it would have to be an original.

As it is I have no use for a boot knife/dagger anymore. For me, it's all about THAT knife (Parker brand).

I had a full set of Busse e handles back in the day. Had to sell em all off. With a little help I’m rebuilding the set.
