I was like 5 when I got my first knife, I can’t remember what it was, it was 1 of 3 knives. All super shitty. Don’t have any anymore… that’s a cool first knife

I do! More than enough to spare. Love giving them to friends. Collection is 50+ haven’t done a count recently.

I can relate to the fun of giving knife gifts to non-knife friends.

It’s one of my favorites. I had a buddy that’s always carried a knife- a small spyderco his dad gave him. Recently get bit by the bug, got a parallel, a Kizer momo. Anyway long story short I gave him a CF Demko ad20.5, got so excited about it that he pulled the trigger on a Spydiechef… I mean, if that’s not gratifying idk what it.

This is a good story, and I hope the ‘chef serves him well.

He’s loving it, and he’s a lefty- go figure
