Toad, that's a cool old knife I've looks like it's missing the bail. I like a bail but I don't own one knife that has one. Thought about a wenger standard issue but I'm so used to the saw blade on the Swiss army farmer, I know it would be missed to much.

I did not know the hole in the bolsters was for a bail. i'll have to do some research. ETA wow. just found a 'well used' example of this knife listed on fleabay with a starting bid of $395.00. apparently the dog's head is desirable or this guy is dreaming. LINK

The hole may not be for a bail, I just assumed it was. Wow that is some luck. I think every thing I own goes down in value...

My first pocket knife was an Ulster BSA 4-blade.
My first fixed blade knife was German Edge Brand from the display case in the Western Auto store.

It was a tie. 1981 Dad gave me a Buck 110 folding, and my uncle gave me a Buck knife fixed blade for my birthday which fell with 3 days left of my first buck season. Sat in the cabin each night and was taught to wet stone sharpen. Must have wiped them down 20 times in 3 days. No buck was skinned that year. The next season the fixed blade saw some use.
Can't make this sh%t up

My first knife was one of those tiny little things that come with a blunt tip blade and nail file. I found it in the dirt road in front of grandpas house. I was four or five years old. Got a spanking when mom caught me whittling a stick with cuts all over my fingers. Grandpa bought me a barlow single blade the next year.
Wake up to this!

I envy you younger fellows who can remember such things. Heck, I can't remember if I took my blood pressure meds this morning.
Despite what your momma told you, violence does solve problems.

The first knife that came to mind was the first hunting knife I bought in 1974. It was a Buck 110 that I still have.
Reading what others have posted, I remembered my genuine Boy Scout camping knife. A Barlow style knife was very useful when working on the farm. What a trip down memory lane.
