A couple of years ago, I gifted a BK15 to the best friend I have ever had! At the time, he was an outdoorsman, but only had a couple of knives. "I'm just not into knives the way you are. I am more of a gun nut," He had told me. That fall we went on several camping\hunting trips and I proudly showed him that a gun can do one thing quite well, but a knife can protect you, feed you, clothe you, shelter you, provide fuel for warmth etc etc.
I gave him my BK15 (it was like giving up a vital organ haha) because he admired it so much. Since that time he has become a born again knife-a-holic and recently told me that he has bought so many knives, his girlfriend keeps an Excel spreadsheet on them so she does not accidentally buy duplicates. Wow!
I truly miss that knife though...but I don't really regret giving it to such a great brother. Some day I will get another I am sure. I will keep my eyes open in the mean time.
I wanted to pass this story on because David (my friend) will be elk hunting this year and that BK15 will be by his side when he does. It makes me happy to know it serves him well.
Has anyone else ever given up a cherished knife? What knife was it? Did you regret it, or did it turn out to be a great idea to give it?
