What was your first knife?

my first folder was a single blade SAK my dad bought me when I was 7. My first fixed was a double edged ka-bar boot knife my older brothers thought would make a nice 8 year old's birthday present. I wasn't allowed to play with it til I was 10. that was over 32 years ago. i still have both.
 
A vic tinker that my father brought back from Switzerland. Unfortunately it was stolen from our hotel room in Fl. one year. It even had my name engraved on it.

My first more modern design was a first gen spyderco delica that my brother gave me for Christmas in high school.
 
an early 70's big 2 blade camillus #26 was my grandads i got it when i was 14 or so, 25 years later still carry it occasionally, when we go out shooting...
