IF....just IF...you INHERITED all the sharp crap you got, would you EVER want, need, buy, or look at.....another KNIFE?

Gawd, but we're gonna leave someone ecstatic.....or hating our guts.

Wanna buy my ol man's knife, mister? Mister? MISTER???

:D
 
This is gonna sound weird, but I was sorta talkin' about this with my roomate tonight. I decided I'm gonna try and prove or disprove(to myself) the idea of reincarnation. Mind you this is a just a loose layout so far...

I'm gonna have all my EDC/gear stuff that I ALWAYS have with me and have it sealed in a capsule or something along with media of myself when I die. I think I have a pretty strong enough attachment to my EDC to make this possible. I will instruct heirs to be on the watch for someone in search of these specific things and have tests somewhat reminicent of the Dalai Lama(please don't take offense to this anyone, I'm not comparing myself with him) test thing you see in movies. :)
 
Yeah, I can really see myself coming back to this planet just so I can have my crappy Hen and Rooster Stiletto back again.

Be like the Pharaohs... Be buried with your stuff. My Spyderco Salt will be nice and corrosion free for the grave robbers.
 
I'm with GarageBoy, except I'm going to plan a few strategic bequests. When I was 12 a great uncle I hardly knew died, and somebody decided I should have his "fishing pole," which turned out to be an early open-face spinning outfit from France. This was great tackle that I didn't even know existed in 1960, nor could I have bought it if I had known about it. I'm going to pass the favor along.
 
I'm just kidding about burying my EDC with me. I'm sure all of my stuff will find a new owner probably while my body is still warm. My kid's always saying, "Nice knife, Papa, can I have it...for keeps?" I won't stop him.
 
I have specified in my will that all of my knives go to my son. He has two sons and I'm sure that they will be able to divide them up between them without too much trouble. :)
 
My will is pretty simple, just four words:

"First come, first served."

Of course if I find out after I'm dead that I could've taken it with me, I'll be pretty ticked off.

At least one will be buried with me, but the rest are for my two Sons and the Grandchildren.
 
My son loves knives so that's pretty easy. My daughter doesn't like them, except for a scrimshawed bone handle gent's knife, which will be hers, probably well before I die. In fact, I could see giving most of them to my son when I get older.
 
My son...(unless of course we have more than one child) will inherit the majority of the lot minus two (one for each of my nephews).

However, as sick and twisted as it sounds I do like the idea that one gets buried with me.
 
I'll give them to one of my three daughters, they are already splitting up my gear, so who am i to say NAY? I just hope i'll get about 40 or 50 years more. :)
 
You guys are going to think I'm nuts. I but I think people should sell "inheritance shares".

Person "A" sells shares of his knives, to person "B". "A" adds to their will such that the knives, or certain knives, or a percentage of their knives goes to "B". "A" uses the money from the shares to accumulate more knives.

"A" gets to leverage the funds raised to enjoy the knives now, "B" get a chance to enjoy them "later".

What do you think?
 
I plan to let them pass on as well.

I have my Grandpa's old trapper. He's long gone but whenever I see it or carry that knife it's like he's still with us.

This past March when my 14 year old cousin died it was a traumatic event for all of us. My brother managed to recover his CE Benchmade Ascent which was in awful shape. I spend an hour and a half working on it and got it back in serviceable condition. By the time I put the Loctite and oil up I felt like I finished something he wouldn't have wanted to be left undone.
 
Me, I'm gettin cremated. Gonna have da knives mixed in wit da ashes.

Then put them in a plane and one clear and beautiful morning, have the WHOLE SHEBANG ....dumped.....inta nearby Folsom Prison in da exercise yard just to have sumpin fun ta watch from on high.

:D
 
I'm planning on out living my knives and crap. :) So, I don't really think about it.
 
Lavan, maybe you could arrange with a damascus maker to mix the ashes with some powered steel and make a "Lavan mosaic pattern' blade. :D
 
The way I trade my knives, I might not have any left by the time I die...Provided it isn't in the next couple of days.:D.:D.

Those that are left will go to my wife to do with as she sees fit, for putting up with me all these years.:).
