Butch I have two knives like that, and yes they are very special to me.

The first is a 1970's Buck 110 hunter. My Best friend from high school's dad past away our soph. year. His son, well his son I havent hunted with in 4 years and havent talked to in 2 years, despite many attemps of calling him. His mom gave me all of Steve's guns and knives for me to keep and take care of until Jarrod is ready for them.

The second knife is late 80's Shrade Uncle Henry stag handled lockback. It was my Gpa's knife. He gave it to me a few weeks ago as he is going into kidney failure and wanted me to have it. He has carried this knife everyday since he retired from American Electric Power/Ohio Power in 1990. It was his retirement gift. I didn't notice until a few days ago but on the opposite side of the "AEP" engraving he had my name engraved on it.

I carry either of these two knives daily.
