Your First Knife

This is a really nice knife! You are very fortunate to have it.

I have a skinning knife made by my great uncle from a file. It has a Birdseye Maple wood handle and a handmade leather sheath. I keep it locked away. He made other knives too. Mostly heavy kitchen knives life butcher knives.

I´m glad now that I didn´t do some touch-up work on it with steelwool like I did with some other stuff when I was a kid

Take a look at the pic. It´s a nice puukko. OAL 4 1/8 inches. The blade is 2 inches.Very nice nice work with silver details on handle and sheath.

Yes , It´s nice Rick1955. The pic doesn´t really do the knife justice. There is some engraving on the silver and the sheath is very detailed.

My first knife was an Imperial Schrade (I think) sliplock with 3 blades, spey, clip and sheepspoint. He got it at a hardware store for like $5 or something. My dad got it for me when I was 5 or 6 and said I could have it until I cut myself. 10 minutes later, I of course cut myself and didnt see it again for a year. then when I got it back, the handles fell off, so i used it as my first throwing knife and havent seen it since.
 
My first knife was a tiny SAK classic. Not much, but a bit deal then. Now relegated to a position in my bike bag/repair kit.
 
My first "real" knife is a spyderco Delica. At the time that was a big knife for me. (This from the guy who owns a Dozer Crossada)
I showed it (the delica) to a guy a work who tested the edge on his finger. I think he ended up with a couple of stiches... Be carfull who you show your "real" knives to!
