My first knife

I was cleaning my garage, and got nostalgic.

This Mora was given to me when I was 7-8 by my dad. He felt that a fixed blade was the right place to start – a tradition I maintained with my own boys.

This knife was a constant companion through my youth. It’s whittled countless sticks into… fancier sticks. I learned to sharpen knives with it.

The handle is a little small at this point, and I lost the sheath decades ago. But, I keep it on my workbench and still use it when I need a knife.

I’ve lost a lot of knives over the years, but thankfully never this one.

Anyone else still have their very first knife?
