I've only seen it the one time. I wouldn't do it if I was gifting a knife but I returned his Nickle when he gifted that one to me out of respect for his tradition.Night Rider,
I always give or get a penny for a knife got or given, started with knives i got from my grand parents, cant stop now, dosent seem right without.

Mine is a lot more beat up than yours but I carry a 710 every day. I got it a long time ago.View attachment 1242727
A Benchmade model 710 McHenry & Williams. Apparently the first axis lock that bench made ever produced.
I mentioned on another form that I participate in that any Benchmade was well beyond my price range. So another member gifted this to me.
Actually, he "sold" it to me for a nickel because of a Superstition that a gifted knife will sever a friendship.
