Mine was an Ulster "Cub Scout" model, soon followed by a Camillus "Boy Scout", and then to a Western small game fixed blade. Man, I sure would like to know whatever happened to them.
 
Mine was a SAK. I was roughly 6 or 7 years old. It was given to me by my parents on christmas day; and what a day that was! It changed my life forever.

I had the same Cub Scout knife. Followed a few years later by a Buck 110, Which I still use when hunting.

but certainty is a ridiculous one.
 
Believe it or not, I was 20 years old when I got my first knife - a KBar that I used in Vietnam but had it confiscated when I tried to get it out of the country.
 
My first knife was a two blade trapper. I lost it and can't remember who made it. I wish I still had it, it was pretty cool.

Schrade "Muskrat" (prior to improvement). I was about ten back then. I'm mid fifties now. Lost it at Houghton Lake about 30 years ago if anyone finds it please clean it up, sharpen and pass on to your kid.

THANKS.
 
I have been looking for a way to talk about this for a while. My first knife was bought for me by my grandfather before I can remember. It was given to me when I was about 12, but I had handled it many times before that. He thought that I was too young for a 6.5" custom bowie with a bear jaw for a handle

When I really started to like knives,15, I got it back out to look at it, and there were several small rust pits on the blade

If I remember sometime I'll take some pictures of it and post them here. Does anyone know who in or around central PA who could have made it? It has an engraving on the blade that has a name and date although It is hard to read, I'll get it out and post it later.

My first knife was a very small nondescript penknife with scales of some kind of synthetic blue mother-of-pearl. I must have been about 6 years old and it was a birthday present. I can clearly remember how special I felt being given a knife as a present. I somehow felt that my parents now recognised that I was growing up and that I was a responsible person that could be trusted. I never let them down either. Ultimately, the knife was nothing special but the memory was.

My first knife was a barlow two blade pocketknife I found while ice fishing with my dad when I was about 8 years old. It's a very cheap knife but at that age, I was more than pleased with it.
 
A small, red celluloid handled pen knife, make unknown when I was 5-6 years old. I wish I still had it.

My first was a single bladed Joseph Rodgers jackknife with a blade about 2 1/2" long. I was about 14 when I bought itfor $6. Three years later I sold it to a farmer in Northern Ontario for $10. My first profit.
 
I have no idea!? Can't remember.

My first knife of consequence was a Buck lockback,I loved that knife and was very sad when we got burgled and it was taken,probably by some lout who did not appreciate it.Hope he cut himself with it.
I never replaced it,bought lots of knives since then but another Buck lockback wouldnt feel the same.
Irrational,we humans.....
 
I can't remember the first knife I was givrn, but I do remember the first knife that I bought for myself. It was a Buck 110. That's still one of the best knives around.
 
It must have been some Imperial POS, I don't remember it except it really sucked.
 
I got my first knife when I was about 10 years old. I'm 39 now. My great uncle passed away and my family traveled to his farm to conclude his affairs. In one room of the house, on a small table, I found a three-bladed penknife. I asked my parents if I could have it. They must have said yes because I carried it for years. It was a cheap knife but I loved it. I spent endless hours whittling and throwing it at trees. I also climbed trees a lot so I dug splinters out of my hands, too.
