Which knife goes with you in your coffin?

My CRK Shadow IV without a doubt. Best damned knife I have owned yet.

Some day I am going to break down and get a large Sebenza and so that will go with me as well.

My idea of heaven would be a place that has an unlimited supply of whittlin' wood and a nice comfortable chair. So I'm taking my Schrade 340T. By the time I die, though, I'm hoping I'll need a new one. The one I have is far from worn out so it will be awhile before I need a new one.

Hoodoo

The low, hoarse purr of the whirling stone—the light-press’d blade,
Diffusing, dropping, sideways-darting, in tiny showers of gold,
Sparkles from the wheel.

Whichever knife my son doesn`t want for himself will probably be disposed of with the old man`s corpse! Good for him!
 
well yeah I bet someone would feel okay about stealing from a corpse...big time. Its a wierd image but instead of flowers I can see someone throwing in a knife I wanted with me. I told my wife two years ago to bury me with my randalls and bob engnath ground short sword that I put a handle on myself. She refused , any way I won't care. as soon as I am ressurected and my dust brought back to its immortal shape I will go get some iron and coal and make some steel and then a knife. SO it doesn't matter a lot does it?
 
I plan on letting some med student carve me up in the interest of learning (I'm getting older now, I figure nobody wants any of my spare parts). After med students are done with me I want to be creamated and have the ashes scattered around in a quiet part of a forest somewhere. As for my knives, I agree with The Martial Way... my kids split 'em up.

I think I would take a talonite knife with me. One I have designed myself. Since I have always been fascinated with the Vikings, so I would actually like to be buried with all my weapons, in full combat gear somewhere deep in rock. That oughto give the aercheologists something to think about in the future.
Hermetically sealed aluminum coffin, my corpse radiation sterilized and the coffin filled with nitrogen, before it is welded shut. That should preserve both corpse and weaponry nicely

I guess it would have to be simply my BM705S. I'm guessing knives' warranties aren't worth much in the afterlife, so why not take one with a locking mech that resists wear.

I guess my Fender Strat will go too. I couldn't let Jerry Garcia jam by himself.

Come to think of it, a multi-tool might be nice too for working on my keg-er-rator.

Heaven's gonna rock.
 
I know that I wont get to take it with me, but I want my SOG Bowie in there with me. It's not the nicest knife I have so my son shouldn't mind, and I had wanted one for most of my life so I dont think keeping it would hurt anything. In my heaven there will be knives although they wont be thought of as evil, and they wont be used for violence. They will just be beautiful pieces of steel wrought for the pure pleasure of turning ore into something beautiful.

Brethern and Sisters,
I obviously have to make a comment here - If you read the passion account on Maundy Thursday Jesus told his disciples if they had two cloaks to sell one and buy a sword.. they replied Look, Lord, here are two! Jesus seemed pleased. What Christian would want to let his Savior down! My last gift to my Dad was his favorite.. a Hoffritz etched scale SAK a bit like the "Executive". I really don't much care which it will be but I can almost guarantee that my son will put something in with me. He gets the rest of them. But this day is a bit into the future.
I bid you all peace!

My mint Gerber Mark 1. Nothing really special about it; I can't really carry it on the street (by law) but I doubt the normal rules apply once you start to stink. Besides, I want to hang on to it just in case I have to argue my way through those pearly gates.

In at least one vision of heaven, you get to discuss the ultimate questions of life, the universe, and everything with the best minds of all ages and cultures. So I think I'll see if I can take Occam's Razor with me.

And in the knifemakers' section of heaven, you can grind and forge and drink beer and not get hurt!

I liked Clay's idea of the afterlife

Actually, I don't think anything happens after, so I'd follow James' idea of taking nothing. Let the kids and grandkids fight over 'em.

Put my Swept hilt Rapier in my hands until it's time to close the lid. Then pass it to someone who will love it and use it as hard as I have.

I cut it, and I cut it, and it's STILL too short!


 
Tell 'em to pile mine high with a bunch of that Chinese and Pakistani crap, I'll take out as many of 'em as I can to save future generations from this garbage.

Otherwise, give me a big ol' double edged axe, in case someone screwed up.

This is weird. Last monday, I told a freind that I will forge knife to be buried with me, that is if I was buried. Personally, I prefer for my corpse to be consumed by that most wonderous gift of Prometheus.
