my first knife was a case sodbuster jr.
But my oldest knife is something else. Four years ago, while canoeing, I found what appeared to be a spearhead. It was orange, and in pristine condition. I took it to someone who studies local archaeology, and he told me it was a knife blade, from about 5-7 thousand years ago by the design of it.
I made a handle for it out of a cedar tree that was growing by where I found it, and a lanyard for it out of yucca fibers.
So far, i have used it for harvesing some edible plants, for cleaning a fish, and for killing a copperhead. I think that whoever made it would be pleased to know that it was still in use, hundreds of generations on.
