The story behind the knife
I would like to start a discussion of the story behind the knife. What I envision is not so much what makes the knife itself special such as by a custom builder or very expensive or rare. It might be a cheap, nothing special knife, but something makes the knife special to you or brings back memories to you. Maybe how or why you got it or from a special person to you.
As an example of what I'm looking for I will start with this little knife. It is worth little if anything but brings back good memories of a family vacation. We had rented a cabin in the mountains of Colorado. There was a lake near the cabin and we were going to go fishing. We went to a little hole in the wall store in a nearby small town to buy temporary fishing licenses. They had a box of knives on the counter. They were all cheap knives mostly in the $2 to $8 range. I rumaged through it to see if anything interested me. Nothing caught my eye until I pulled this little knife out of the bottom of the box. It didn't have a price marked like the others did. I held it up and asked the clerk how much it was. She said, "Free." I said, "Sold" and stuck it in my pocket.

The knives were certainly meant to stay with you both through life!

Yes and as Jan says sometimes a knife was meant to stay with you. Charles it sounds like you have one of those you can't lose either! I kind of like the attachment!
