I know there are old posts like this but I figured I'd get a new one started. My first was a Vic classic in my stocking from Santa. It was my favorite gift that year. My first real knife was a schrade old timer stockman. The story is that I had to cut something at my grandpas and was using my classic. So my grandpa said its time I got a real knife and he told me to go pick one from off the shelf. I picked the nicest one which happened to be my great grandfathers. I used it for some time until I got a colonial sak style knife then immediately retired the old timer. The blades themselves are loose and didn't want to break it. Also does anyone know how to fix this?
 
When I was 12, my father took my sister and I to Lucerne, Switzerland. I bought 2 things there. A Victorinox Alox Pioneer and a Swatch watch. Had the Pioneer for years, but got lost at some point.
