Your first knife

About 1951 snapshot of my first fixed blade. A Ka-Bar 4" or 4.5". I had a pocket knife or two prior to that. I would have been 10 at the time of the photo. Alas, kids do stupid things and I eventually traded it for a box of arrowheads and Civil War Miniballs. Would give have my current pile of knives to get that back.

My father had a ww2 paratroopers knife in a box up in the attic but gave it away some 25 years ago because he didn't want me to find it 🤣🤷
 
This little Kabar wasn't my first, but it's the only knife from my childhood that remains.
