<p>Ralph, if my identification is accurate, that Kershaw 1550 is the Whirlwind (with partially serrated blade)! That's a great entry knife & one that will only make you want more knives... Am I right in guessing that you've since bought several more Kershaws?</p>

It seems like I've always had a knife. I about severed my left thumb making a notch in a willow for an arrow that I was designing at a very young age. I still have the scar. I always needed a knife to cut fish bait off the suckers for trout. All my knives were probably cheap ones because I lost some and left some in pin holes on Northern Pacific Railroad cross arms. I have no idea of any brands until I was in my 30s and I bought a nice Boker and I left it lay in a railroad depot and by the time…

I have no idea of any brands until I was in my 30s and I bought a nice Boker and I left it lay in a railroad depot and by the time I realized it, it had gotten legs. Then I started using Gerbers and have used and saved them since. I didn't really start to think about how cool these were to look at until about 1975.From then on I have bought a few of different types and received some from friends. I also belonged to A G Russells club for a few years. I'm not even sure if this is the correct way to be doing this.

<p>Got my first one when I was around 10 or so. </p>
<p>Can't post a pic 'cause my Dad took it away from me after I carved my initials in a redwood 4x4 support for the car port.</p>
<p>Didn't want to scar up a tree.</p>

<p>I can't remember my first knife, I know I lost a lot of knives as a kid. I do remember two of my Dads knives. He had a large Swiss Army knife that he kept on a lanyard so he wouldn't lose it. I remember my Grandmother asking him to fix a lamp cord once. He cut into it and there was a blue flash and a pop, it was still plugged in! Took a chunk out of the main blade. He also had a Buck 102 Woodsman that my brother still has. I do have a couple of knives from childhood, a little Schrade…</p>

<p>I'm fortunate to have several family heirloom knives. One is an original Case V42 that my Grandfather acquired after WWII. Another is a tiny pearl handled Case pen knife that my mother got when she was 10 years old at a birthday party for Russ Cases granddaughter. Every girl that attended the party got one of the knives with her initials color inlaid on one side and the birthday girls initials on the other side. At the time Mother lived just a few blocks from the Case factory and they rented their house from the Cases.</p>
