One of the subsets of my knife hobby is collecting knives that belonged to relatives and friends.
I don't know the exact ages of the knives in this "subset" but I have knives from both grandfathers, one grandmother, both of my parents, many other relatives, and many dear friends, some long departed.
I'm currently dealing on a knife that belonged to the father of a close friend. The knife was used to cut and peal oranges from his grove here near Ocala many years ago. My friend has many knives from his father so he probably won't miss just one.
