Hey y'all,
I was just feeling all nostalgic the other day thinking about my first knife. I recently had a baby and have been pondering what his first knife will be. Do I start with a BK13? Jump straight to an 11? Start with a classic Victorinox? So many choices!
Anywho, so my first knife was a cheapo Victorinox knock-off from the dollar store that I got probably when I was in 3/4th grade or so. I think. It might have been earlier because I was in Girl Scouts before then and that's when I got mine. I had it for a couple years before it got lost. It was a piece o junk but I learned a lot with that knife.
My first becker was a BK11 from Fal'er back in 2010 or 11 that means a whole lot to me because not only did it start the becker sickness, but also I kinda "found my people" on the internet. I've always loved the outdoors and stuff, but I didn't know there was a bushcraft community on the internets that shared my passions. I've learned so much from everyone and I'm pretty darn thankful.
What about you?
Also pics of my 3 month old "little" guy with a BK 16 for scale
