Your first knife and latest knife!

My first was a chinese "swiss army" golf type multi tool I haggled my parents into buying me when I was about 7 or 8. I still have it floating about somewheres.
My latest knife was an Opinel No. 6 Carbon model.
 
My first knife was a single bladed "sample" knife my Grandpa gave me when I was around 7 years old. It was around 2 1/2" from end to end with metal scales. Most recent was a Spyderco Military, black handle, satin blade.
 
First was a Benchmade 530, latest is a Les Voorhies Model 9.
 
My first knife was a Ka-Bar small, fixed-blade hunting knife (called the "Little Finn" nowadays....). I got it the summer of 1977.

My latest knife was a Mora "Clipper". I bought it last summer (2012).
 
My dad gave me this knife when I was 5, I think he found it on the side of the road. It's marked "Kansas Cane Cutter II" and branded "Honest Abe". It's a cheapo but served me well for 3 years, when I was 8 I saved up a whopping 7 or 8 bucks and got a victorinox recruit. My latest knife is a small sebenza 21.

ETA: Have had it for 25 years, the small sebenza coming up on 3 weeks.

My first knife was a small folder that was given to me by my aunt after my cousin died in a car crash when I was about 8. I think it may have been a Case but can't be sure. I consider the Buck 110 my parents gave me after graduating from Fire College in 1976 to be my first. All "real firemen" carried them back then, like a badge of honor and symbol of belonging. My latest, a CRK small Sebenza 21 with coco bolo inlays.
 
First knife I remember was a CRKT M16 when I was about 13. Latest knife is a Bark River Woodland Special.
 
My first was a Case finn hunter 4'' fixed blade, and my latest was a tidioute smooth white bone toothepick.
 
My dad gave me my first knife; Sharp model 200, over 30 years ago. It is the only thing I have from my childhood, and worthless other than sentimental value.

Just got the black Para 2 last week.

First knife was a keychain SAK. Just knife, nail file, toothpick, and tweezers, nothing else. My latest order was a big batch, a Buck 119 Special, Custom Shop Buck 110, Ka-Bar USMC knife, Kershaw Burst, Kershaw Tremor, and a CRKT Ripple. None of them have arrived yet though, so the last knife I actually received was an Imacasa Cane Knife. If you count that as a machete rather than a knife, the last "knife" I got was a Kershaw Camp 10 and a Kershaw Leek with "blue smoke" handle.
 
I remember my first knife. I was helping my dad get the boat ready for summer. He asked me for my knife and was shocked when I said I didn't have one. I must have been about ten.

We hopped in the truck an drive to a local store. I was so excited I couldn't stand it. He bought me a Schrade lockback, the smallest one that came with a belt pouch. I lost that knife on a rope swing when the pouch came unsnapped. I looked for it every time I went back but never found it.

My latest knife is a near mint Schrade Sharpfinger I bought from popular auction site.

Edit: I just looked at some old Schrade catalogs. As near as I can tell that first knife was an Uncle Henry LB3. I remember the sheath being brown or tan.
