This one was given to me by my uncle around 1970, as near as I can figure. Maybe '71. As a kid i thought it was so precious that I was afraid to use it and so into my drawer it went. It's been in a box there ever since. I've still never sliced a thing with it. Really know next to nothing about it. A' fisherman's knife'. I think the needle piece was intended for mending nets?

That is a cool old knife. I remember when Puma was the high dollar stuff.

My best friends dad gave me this one when I was in Jr. High.....early 60's.....it was already pretty well used when I got it. It was my go to deer hunting knife until Buck came out with the Vanguard in the 80's and I had to have one. I still have both of em.

I've have an old knife that my dad used when I was a kid. I'm 69. It was in rough shape, Tim ( Michigan road kill) fixed for me! I'd take a picture but I don't know how to post them any more.

My mom bought my twin brother and I cub scout pocket knives when we were 7 years old. I suspect she didn't buy is the boy scout version with the can opener for fear of us practicing on her canned goods.
My brother lost his, but I still have mine 45 years later.
Blade is a little loose and I carry it once in a while for sentimental reasons.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

A Case yellow bone handled Trapper from the 60’s. Hadn’t carried it in YEARS, as I cut my index finger all the way to the damn bone with it back in College while trying to break in to my truck via the vent window with it after I locked my keys in there. Fuggers will sure fold up on you if you do something stupid like using them to pry with. 😢

I have two of my dad's knives, a stag handled Kabar sheath knife that he got for selling newspaper subscriptions in the late 1920's and a Remington UMC two bladed muskrat with jigged bone scales. I acquired both of these knives circa 1962, never used wither one to hunt as my dad gave me a knife of my own and his G.I. stainless steel handled pocket knife.

My folks gave me this Western knife for Christmas in 1966 or 67 (I was about 12). I bought a new sheath for it several years ago, similar but not exact to the original.

Looks like a bait needle. Cool knife.

Buck 110 that I bought in 1972 for $20.

Bottom knife. Case 2 Blade Folding Hunter from 1966. The 110 is the last year of the "hard as woodpecker lips" 440C blade steel from 1981. That Case was banged around on our ranch for over 40 years before retirement. Dunno how many elk, deer + misc pronghorn, bear, cougar, small game, varmits, yada, yada..and enough balls from domestic critters to fill a boxcar...
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

When I was 12 (1956) I talked my parents into letting me buy a Kinfolks. My Mother asked -- What does a 12 year old boy need with that? Still have it. Blade is a little reduced in size. Cut a lot of things with that knife, but it is retired now. I bought a Sharpfinger to replace it in the field and used the Kinfolks for years to cut up chickens etc before retiring it. Now of course I use knives I made.

Lots of Sharpfingers I am guessing. Dad gifted this one to me for Christmas when I was 12 or so...it's seen a couple deer and more pheasants than I can remember. Had a bunch of folders, Barlows mostly, prior but none have stayed with me. My old man still buys any knife that says Old Timer on it for whatever reason.
