What Would You Hand Down?

I myself want to hand down my Buck 110 that I actually just got, I also plan to give my future son(s)/daughter(s) a Spyderco, since both myself and my girlfriend love Spyderco knives.
 
I often wonder which of my knives will last the rest of my lifetime, as I have no safe queens.

I have 4 sons, 8 nephews, and 2 nieces, at the moment, and have 3 brothers who have not yet begun to have children. If my brothers outlive me, they will have their favorites, as well. I'm sure I'll have to leave a detailed will to specify who will be getting what.

My sons will definitely be getting my William Henrys, Chris Reeves, and Microtechs.

After that, I'm not sure...

My plan is to have 3 good users in several categories. Lock blades, SAK's, 3-6" fixed blades, 9"+ choppers, I may add machetes and axes/hatchets/hawks. Nothing expensive, just good users.

Then when the time comes, I will let my oldest pick first in one catagory, and let the youngest pick first in another. When it is all said and done, we will each have one good user in each category. Hopefully the boys will be ready to do this before I am too old to enjoy them together.
 
Coming from a younger guy, I have absolutely no idea what will be worth passing down half a century from now. Hopefully I'll still be using my knives just as much in my 70's as I am right now.
The one that will be most valued is the one they see you use most.
I'm pretty sure it'll be a Spyderco Military though, whatever the ultimate version happens to turn out to be (though it's entirely likely I will never use any one model of the Spyderco Military for more than a few years, given their current track record of sprint runs:D).
 
I plan to give all my stuff away before I bite the dust- but im gonna give my buck 110- first knife I ever got to which ever one of my future kids (God willing) is most into hunting/camping ect.
 
I have my Uncle Henry Stockman that I received when I got my Totin' Chip in Boy Scouts years ago. I hope that it survives long enough to be passed down. I have very few knives that are really that great, but the Buck 110 and SAK Farmer Alox will probably be passed down one day.
 
My son will receive my Scrapper 6 and the knife his great grandfather fashioned from a large file while serving in the RCAF in WWII.
 
i do not own as many knives as soem of you guys. but i would hand down my s30v blur, it was my first quality knife, and started my obsession with quality blades.
 
Neither of my kids appreciates knives, so if I can't take them with me I'm not going.
