I carry my grandfathers buck 303 frequently, you can tell its his because he'd always put the edges to a grindstone to thin them out a bit too much. Love using it, just full of memories.

My father has a craftsman two blade, spear and clip point folder thats massive, an absolute tank of a knife, must weigh at least a pound.

My dad never carried a knife and my grandpa carried a rusted pos dime store knife. Somehow I came to appreciate fine cutlery in spite of them.

Here are my Grandfathers blades. Still razor sharp after 89 years.

Carbon steel folded many many times with Ivory and Jade handles.

Made for my Grandfather as an executive engineer acquiring land rights from a Bedouin Sheik to honor the birth of my father.

My grandfather always carried a Schrade Old Timer 3 blade stockman. I've had one just like it for ages, still carry it every now and again. My other grandfather is a Case man. Dad carries around a classic SAK, and for a while a small Case blue bone trapper, but Dad loses stuff all the time.
