L - R, these were my Grandpa's hunting knife, my Dad's, and the 110 is mine. The Buck was thrown in there as a size reference for someone who asked.

Given to me for Father's Day, a near decade ago.

It was a genuine EDC for a while, carried every day for five years. Eventually I got antsy and wanted more variety, but this knife still gets the lion's share of pocket time.

My youngest made me a card, and you can see she included a nice knife

I always enjoy seeing your grandfather's knife Jack. So contrary carrying a bunny knife when most Sheffielders of the time would have carried a lambsfoot.

My father has always indulged my knife modifications including some early blade delete attempts. He has helped on several of my latest projects including

the 15 bail and chain mod

and the sterling shield for this 86 delete and recover

My Grandfather's knife. He was a Veteran of the Spanish American War. He purposely snapped the blade off to use it as a pipe bowl scraper. I can remember sitting on his front porch in Wilmington, NC watching him fidget with his pipe scraping the bowl with the broken blade and then tamping his tobacco down with the bolster.

Thanks Christian, he was a contrary character all round! He did carry Lambsfoot knives, and he gave me my first one, but the Bunny was his last knife. He read a lot of Cowboy books, so maybe he thought of it as a mini Bowie

Very cool that you have that Ed I think that practice was not uncommon with pipe-smokers at one time

Nono Giuseppe's handmade knife from Sicily, brought with him when he immigrated ~1900!! Given to me by my father, Salvatore, ca. 1970!! Shown with a Case for scale!!

My Dad's 51. He died in 1956. Did escort duty in the Atlantic in WWI on the USS St. Louis. I don't know if he had it then. Fun to imagine, though.

Dad's Case XX stockman / pocketwatch traveled the Rock Island line for many years.

Grandpa's Western and sheath, pretty amazing condition for a knife that's over 90 years old.

My Dad's old Buck (Camillus) 303. I didn't know he even owned a pocket knife, until he started helping me cut down some boxes. "Where did that come from?! My dresser." He didn't keep it pretty, but did keep it fairly sharp. I wish I knew how he melted the scale near the backspring pin. Happy Fathers day.

Happy Father’s Day, just a pic of two that have grown on me. Le sabot Pradel and an older Blindhorse bushcrafter.

And here is my Idaho knife works that I am fond of and thought about today if I was dad providing for my family in the old days……this is my thought but in realty is a happy meal in the car.
