my first knife was a good old swiss army knife carried that religiously from about 2nd -4th grade lost it along the way and started carrying a Leatherman multi tool for awhile lost that too while fishing.Then in middle school and stared carrying singleblade thumbstud folders thats right around the time when i started to get interested in collecting knives.The collecting carried on until high school when i stared picking up anything with an edge on it including my first switchblade then i really became a knife junkie :lol:.Pretty much carried a knife in my pocket since i was in elementary school probably why if i forget my knife at home if feel like a forgot my pants :shock: :lol:

addendum- Vagrant said it only counts if it was an EDC, my first EDC was around the same time, Cheapo Balisong Red handles with the holes in it.... older kid took it away from me... i should've told my mom about it immediatly (she'd've kicked his @$$).

My first switchblade was a beautiful AB 11inch with black horn. Had some fairly big liner gaps and some blade play. It was the first time I ever bought one. It came in the mail and for the first time in my life I finally held on to a genuine Italian switch. When I pressed the button and that blade fired open I was instantly hooked. Such butter smooth action on that AB. Not like my Frank B picklock though. That’s on another level.

I bought my first in knife when I was about five years old in 1958. Bazooka bubblegum had an offer for a folder. I mailed my $.10 cents to Bazooka and when it arrived I couldn’t have been happier. It was a single blade blue plastic scales. It’s long gone I have no idea when I lost it. That was 60 years ago. My mom was way wicked cool; she let me keep it. It was my EDC. She keep a small knife in her handbag. My dad always had a knife in his pocket.

I hadn`t seen it before in Ganzo series, that`s why I ordered it and it`s fantastic

This question has been asked many times and here is my answer.
When I was five or six years old I purchased my first folder. Back then kids could wander the streets without the fear of being kidnapped. My friends and I went to the corner store and bought Bazooka bubblegum. For a penny you got a big piece of bubblegum and a comic. Along with the comic was an ad for a small pocket knife, only $.10 cents. With the help of my mom I sent in my $.10 cents in cash and I don’t know how many days later or weeks my knife arrived. I was so excited. It’s long gone but I’ll never forget it.

What does this have to do with your first knife? It has always been obvious you are a shill for Ganzo knives and probably just trying to advertise your Amazon store. Why not just come out and say it?

PS- I will save Sammy the time and just post his usual reply to you that he also likes Ganzo knives...lol
