I remember returning pop bottles for the money and saving up enough to buy a Yellow Delrin Case knife from Ace Hardware. Two blade Trapper model circa 1966.I was so proud of myself,walking the case after case of pop bottles to the store. It took a while, over a few weeks but it was worth it. I remember I cut somthing I shouldn't have and Mom took the knife away.
I swiped it back from her secret hiding place a few days later and never let her see it again.
Lost it all by myself when I was ready though. I was nine when I got my first blade.

Peace.
