I remember as a youth the first time I had the opportunity to get a old timer knife I was probably in the sixth grade. Every kid at that time had an old beat up pocket knife with a carry along with their bag of marbles in their slingshots, and p shooters. it was almost the right of passage for young kid back in them days. I remember they came in many different shapes and sizes from pearl handles to fake wood,to black marble and many many more. Our member might be that sharp but it was nice to have in the pocket
