I still have my BSA pocket knife I received in 1973. Well used, it is in my safe now.
Oldest knife I have with a family link is a fixed blade that dates back to the mid/ late 30's.
I got it from my Grandfather (my Mothers dad). Although I never knew him to be a hunter, it is a very well made
skinning knife. I suspect it saw service on the farm he grew up on. It gets carried very occasionally.
