Congratulations on your son's first knife. Sadly, I don't have my first knife, but I remember it fondly. However, my son still has his; a Cub Scout folder. We wore out his first BB gun so last Christmas we gave Red Riders to all the guys. The son in laws had never fired a gun so we spent the afternoon having a blast perforating beer cans. He still has his first .22 that will be for his children his first shotgun and the M-1 Garand (rebuilt by Fulton Armory) the we gave him when he graduated the USCGA. Guns, knives and fishing poles seem to be the heirlooms that have true meaning in our family. Enjoy these things with your son, they are the memories you will both have forever and they grow up fast!
