I feel you on that. Had to give my dad his first "nice" EDC folder. It's a customized Spyderco Tenacious, but he thinks it's the best thing ever. Probably because I had it Cerakoted Maroon and Gold to commemorate his USMC service. I'll have to get him a 711 or 911 so he can see what his USMC Ka-Bar wants to be when it grows up.

Thanks coyotebc, I picked up on that vibe while lurking for the past few weeks. I have a lot of catching up to do here.

My dad doesn't collect knives, but he appreciates fine steel in traditional patterns Never met a person that can sharpen a knife like he can My youngest brother comes close I feel you on that.

What's his go-to blade, if I may ask? Also, what technique does he use?

He sharpens freehand with various wet stones, followed up by stropping on a leather strope
His favorite hunting knife is one we got him for Christmas in the mid 1970's, I can't remember the name but it was a contract knife made by Schrade.
He retired his oldtimer folder a few years back and carried a Kershaw that my brother gave him.
He lost that knife before Christmas so I bought him a Ka-bar mini dozier for now
I want to get him a nice GEC or something similar for his birthday
He hates some of the larger folders I carry

He also has an old Buck 110 that he carries while hunting or camping, it has to be 35 or 40 years old

probably, his old edc (oldtimer) he carried since I was a kid, my youngest daughter now owns it, the one blade looks like a toothpick now
I have an oldtimer trappers model that was my uncles, he carried it for about 15 years. When he died my aunt gave it to me.
I lost it for about a week after I carried it as an edc for about 20 years.
My oldest daughter now has it at her place in her one display case

Bill- Love the family history and continuity. Can't wait til my boy is old enough to start his own knife addiction.  Greaser- Thanks, I have a feeling I've opened Pandora's Box. And I like it!

My oldest daughter likes folders and my youngest likes fixed blades
So no worries when I bite it
