This was from July 15, 2008 (before I was ever in a knife chatroom).
Shown in Knots a hand tool woodworking chatroom at the Fine Woodworking Magazine Web Page. (hand tool woodworking is where I learned to produce hair whittling edges)
I put the knife in the photo to demonstrate the relative size of this tiny Stanley wood cutting plane called a "#1". The "normal" everyday size of this plane is two to three times as large. I bought the plane as a novelty and intended to literally use it as a paper weight. Once I spent some time with it it became an important tool in my hand plane arsenal.
The knife is a Victorinox Bantam which an internationally famous high end woodworker by the name of Ian Kirby uses to knife the layout lines for precision joinery. Of course I had to buy one and try it out. This was before I ever owned a knife with a pocket clip; just my 110 and some other slip joints.

Now I'm on a roll :
My first knife with a pocket clip; the Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite taken not too long after the photo of the SAK with the Stanley plane.
and a photo not too long after that . . . the sickness has begun and more knives, for some unknown reason, keep showing up in my mail box . . .

Horrible pic, but definitely the oldest one I have. Oct. 16, 2009. I no longer own any knife in the photo.
