Which knife goes with you in your coffin?

[Dan K]

It's already been arranged: I'll go with my Broadsword "Peacebringer" and my 3# hammer "Olga".

Anything of no value left over when I die I intend on having burnt so it takes up less space. No sense in burning a good knife, and I have no doubt that if I am in need of a knife in the Afterlife, then it will be provided for me. And any knife in heaven should be far better than mere earthly knives.

My Spydie Wegner. Tim Wegner is a Christian, I think. I figured that's what he designed it for in the first place!

If not the Wegner, then at least some knife, so people would know it was really me! They never see me without a knife now; why would they believe the corpse was me if it didn't have a knife with it?

I do like the idea of having one in my hand, and then snatching it out just before they close the lid. Don't figure I'll be needing an earthly knife in the great beyond. Besides, I've already discussed it with the Bossman upstairs, and I think He'll have a few for me up there, so people will recognize me there, too!

Right now it would have to be my Mad Dog ATAK. I have a Busse on the way, so it may change.

See you on the trail!

If I must take one with me, make it one that will not be designed & produced for another 50 years or so...

If you have any children that are AT ALL interested in knives, then leave behind your favorites, the ones you carry the most now. I know that the knife that I value the absolute most in my life is the one that my father carried while he was still alive. Like Tom Mayo said, I can guarantee you won't care which one is in the coffin with you when you're there.

Speaking of funerals . . .

A couple or three years ago, a few of us officers of our congregation conspired to give the rabbi (who is a "knife person") a left-handed Dalton California Special (a CA street-legal switchblade, for those who haven't seen one).

Same vein: many years ago I got my wife a small switchblade. Later she was helping out at an LDS church cake sale on a military base. Naturally, noone had a knife to cut the cake, sooo... As she was cutting the cake, a group of young GIs came up and watched. Finally one of them asked in a rather intemidated voice, "What church did you say you're from?"

The kids can fight over everything but my Hells Belle (hopefully I'll get it before I die!) It might come in handy if I meet any real resedents of the Inferno....

Of course, I'll never die: that's something that just happens to other people.

In the unlikely event that I do die though, I'll take a coffin handled bowie with me. (Yes, that's a pun) If perchance I become zombiefied, I can chase after my victims with a large knife, rather than have to stumble after them in the typical unproductive undead gait.

I heard about this idea from a guy I used to work with years ago, kind of grew on me.
First, I want a real Irish funeral, the bagpipes, the wake with me propped up in the corner watching everybody get sloshed and remembering me. Then, I want to be cremated and have the ashes loaded into shotgun shells as a buffering medium,so that my ashes are scattered over places that I enjoyed being. Kinda weird, huh?
