What knives bring you more joy in ownership know then they did when new?

[Sid Post]

This question is sort of the opposite to the one I posed about knives that lost their luster over time with continued ownership.

I remember when I got my first Carson knife, an Automatic Model 4! This was a well used knife that I was so excited to get I could hardly contain my excitement and joy when it arrived. I still love that knife after several years of ownership.

After retrieving my Brend Model 2 from the safe in Texas, my passion was ignited yet again when I put this knife in my hand. The lines are wonderful. The grind near perfection. The balance and overall execution are simply a joy to behold in my eyes.

Then there is the Rinaldi TTKK in BG-42, my very first custom knife acquisition. I use this one a lot. It is a real beauty too. I get a good feeling everytime I pick it up.

What knives in your collection have withstood the test of time and bring joy to you years later?

Stay Sharp,
Sid

Sid,
I got to handle one of the auto's that Kit made and kept at Blade. It is the tightest most well made custom auto I have handled. At the same time, if somesone other than Kit had handed it to me and I was blindfolded there would be no mistaking the Carson action and feel to the knife.

For me it is the knives that were made while a friendship developed and has grown or a knife that was made by a long time friend.

You both stole my lines. . .

My Carson's (Model 4's) and a certain Brend (Model 2) are my pride and joy. . . Each time that I handle them (or even think about them) they bring an overwhelming elation and satisfaction ! !

Awesome craftsmen to say the least !
