Yep. 'All' kids carried a sheaf knife, when they were off into the countryside, eh, Tats?

I guess the difference then was that it would never enter our tiny little minds to actually pull it out and stick it in anyone! We never dreamed of a knife being a weapon.

 

I used a folding knife in middle school and used it for sharpening my pen at bin next to the teachers desk.

My every day carry, never leave home without it, not legal in the uk but hey I use it everyday so consider that a valid reason to carry, really good quality blade, bit of a b*****d to get razor sharp but holds an edge for ages when it’s done, would be lost without it and often wonder how people manage that don’t carry one 

You been sat under that pigeons nest for long pal?

The angle of the end of the sheath indicates its from northern Lapland the blade looks a bit different as most blades are scandi grind.

Bought the top one after I lost the one underneath.

Found it 10 years later in the lining of a jacket

Flicking through this thread reminded me that somewhere, in a box in the shed, was my Grandfathers old clasp/jack knife that he was issued with when he joined the Merchant Navy at the start of WW2. I kept it when he died with the intention of buffing it up a bit as a little reminder of him. This thread has spurred me on to dig it out and do it.

 

 

I had the exact same knife belong to my grandfather.....and i lost it ....still sick thinking about it
