I have two that I wouldn't sell (one that nobody would want anyway):
Number one is my only custom knife, a drop point hunter my wife gave me for Christmas two years ago. Made by Seth Borries, who was a "Forged in Fire" champion.
Second one is my dad's Western fixed blade hunter. He gave it to me in 1970. Had a broken retainer strap on the sheath, but I carried it, and soon lost the knife.
I never told Dad (his temper was legendary), but I looked for it for years, every time I went for a walk in the woods behind our house, where I assumed I'd lost it.
Fast forward to 2003. We were having a new septic system put in, and my young son told me he'd found a rusty old knife in the dirt pile. That was it!
After 33 years it was recognizable, but rusted beyond repair, and I'll never part with it.
I rewarded my boy with a new Buck Woodsman.
