Your First Knife and Your Latest Knife: Let's See Some Photos

[Bigdog357]

Like some others here, my first knife was a cub scout knife. I still have the 3" scar on my right leg from that knife, sliced it open making a fort when I was a kid. Latest one I bought was this Josh Clarke knife called a Bitterroot.

This thoroughly abused KA-BAR (bushwhacking and gardening tool) was brought back by my dad from his WWII days and given to me as a child. It would be my first knife.

This S&W pocket knife was the first serious knife I purchased with my own hard-earned dishwashing and stock-clerking money...

And this Spyderco Matriarch 2 is my most recent knife acquisition, as of about a week ago...

my first knife was likely a Kamp King just like shown in post 13, might have been a Barlow though I do not recall, my go to now , is a Kershaw Leek , my first fixed blade is an old Eastwing its a little beat up after 30 years but holds a decent edge ,and fits my hands well .

My first fixed hunting knife I picked up over 45 years ago was a 102 Buck and my latest is a Bark River Gameskeeper. My latest overall addition is a Remington 9507.

Barnfixer,
I like the Bark River knife, they make some really nice knives. The knives with the Jade scales are some of the nicest!

I’m a fan of the upper peninsula knife makers. Here’s a couple more, older Marbles, bark river & Hess.

Very nice!

Bark River made one of the Bravo knives, think it was called Ghost Jade. Excellent knife, wouldn't mind having one.

My Dad's old Marble Ideal hunting knife would fit in right nicely in with your knives!

I like the inscription on your Mexican Bowie knife's blade. Sort of reminded me of a somewhat similar inscription on another, older Mexican Bowie knife. Freely translated it basically said: "Do not draw me without reason...Do not sheath me without honor". Pretty cool stuff to put on a knife blade!

I too have a Mexican Bowie I picked up for a self defense weapon in a trip in the 80s Lets see if I can find a picture

About 6 1/2" blade , I sharpened it SHARP !

The Puma Game Warden I got in 1967 and the Old Timer I got in 1966 were the first in my old memory, the top one was a first Ti one given to me in late 80s by an ex wife. .

I really like that old 102 with the original sheath. You can tell it's been around the block.
