Most of us probably have multiple hunting knives. If you have went to a few RMEF, PF, DU, etc banquets, you have knives. I have a bunch but I always come back to my Buck 118. My dad gave it to me in 1982 for my 12th birthday. Over the years, I have tried lots of knives, but come elk season, that will get the ride along in my backpack.
I am 13 years old and deer hunting. I used to never wear a belt, but of course I wanted to wear one deer hunting so I could have my Buck 118 on my side. Took a leak out in the woods and went about my merry way. Crossed a plowed cornfield. Felt something flapping around and discovered I forgot to fasten my belt. Instant panic. My prized knife was gone. Tears start forming. Only one way to get my knife back and that was to backtrack myself. About 300 yards across that plowed field most of it on hands and knees, I found my knife. Since then, it has been a part of a lot of wild game work. Certainly one of my most prized possessions.
Do you have a favorite knife? Tales of lost and found?
