Stereotypical dad knives

I’m sorry for your loss, that’s awful. But congratulations and best of luck to you on your new adventure!!!

I think of a dad knife as my dad’s Case Texas Jack. He carried his on the farm until the amber bone was cracked and the main blade was getting toothpick like. Then he replaced it with a new Texas Jack and is working on wearing this one out too lol

Growing up, my dad always carried a Buck 300 series slipjoint. And he was always losing them out of his pants pocket: recliner, car, couch, anywhere he sat down it seems his knife would just fall out. Maybe something about pants and pockets back then?

These days he carries an assisted opening Buck Inertia - with a pocket clip.

Grandpa could sharpen a blade of grass to shaving sharp on the edge of a crock or bottom of a coffee cup. He taught me how to sharpen, but that skill somehow skipped a generation. So when I saw that my dad liked the Inertia, I stockpiled several of them. We live in different states so when we see each other, I swap his out for a freshly sharpened and cleaned one, then take his home and fix it up and put it back in rotation.

I have my dad's knife. He had a heart problem, and left his knife at an oil field tank farm where he was a gauger. A fellow worker took it home, and gave it to my brother years later. My brother gave it to me. Now they're all gone in my birth family but me.

While I love LG, I want to be remembered as a SHF dad! I have 9 keepers so far, let's see what new handles they come out with!

Sorry that you are the last. Hopefully you have a family of your own or nieces or nephews.
