Love hearing stuff like that Mike, my boys are grown and out of the house but I still have those wonderful memories:cool:

This has some history to it as well. My two older brothers were in Scouts, I couldn't wait till my mom signed me up, unfortunately she never did and as the disappointment subsided I still yearned to do Scout stuff. I saved lawn mowing money and bought a book on knots, learned those but still wanted to be a Scout and do cool Scout stuff. I'd grill my brothers about there patches, so then I'd read their Scout handbook. I'd even wear their Scout shirt and kerchief when they weren't around, until one day when I got caught. Lets just say I never did that again:eek::oops:

Still my want for the Scout knife, the flashlight and all the cool stuff continued for years, so when I see Scout stuff I usually pick it up, hence the Cub Scout 91mm Tinker:D

Great story. I used to hang out with my dad and grandpa. I wanted to be like them. My grandpa farmed and branched all his life and that is what I grew up doing. My dad became an electrician along with helping on the farm. We lived just a few miles from grandpa so I saw him most everyday. My grandpa is gone now but I still have all my memories of him. I like to share my memories with my kids. That was what our little fishing trip was all about. I like to take them to the place where my memories were made and make new ones with them. We had a blast and caught some nice bass also. My grandpa showed me the value of a good knife. That is what I shared with my boy in giving him a recruit like mine. Soon it will be time for my youngest daughter to have a knife. She has taken a liking to my classic on my key chain. So I see a classic in her future.
