First knife I forget the make and model. It was a little stainless folder. Think it had 2 blades, could have been only one. Lost it soon after. Then it was a cheap 3 blade stockman with lots of blade play.

First? Ever? Buck 110. Got it as a gift when I was in the Scouts. Then I lost it in a Mumblepeg bet. To my mom's dickfaced boyfriend.
Fucker kept my knife. He's dead now, like he should be. If you're reading up from hell I hope you burned your dick off asshole.

I can't quite remeber which was first, but I remeber a few of my first.
First might have been a little cheap Chinese knockoff of a buck. Tiny thing, probably 1.5 inch blade. Brass bolsters/wood inlays . Dull as shit.
Next two were gifts from my grandpa.... A buck 110 which was fukin huge to me at the time, and another Chinese knife, lockback, chromed out bolsters high polish blade, big gold crocodiles set in clear resin for inlays.Kind oof had the profile of a bowie knife. I thought it wasthe coolest thing I ever saw
Then again, my first might have been a sak classic that said 'TWA' on the side of it. Dad used to bring them home from his work all the time
My first knife was rubbish, it was a cheap folder that my dad bought for me at a supermarket so I would stop asking to borrow his knife and I had something to play with while we were camping in France. It completely fell apart on day two, shortly after I had discovered batoning..
But a few weeks later I got this to replace it for my 8th birthday:
I always thought it was just another cheap keychain knife, but I recently got some info that leads me to believe it might actually be an antique. It doesn't really matter though, my dad died later that year so I'll cherish it anywho.
Now something else:
This is the knife I chose to give to my godson for his 18th birthday, it'll be his first real pocket knife. I've been wanting to give him a knife for years now, but his mom wouldn't allow it so I had to wait until she no longer had a say in it.
I was looking at the Kershaw Skyline at first but the lowest price I could find it for locally was over 50 euro's (over 70 US$)& imo that's just a little too much for what it is. So I kept looking around & eventually went with this blacked out Tenacious instead after reading all the positive reviews on the web.
I must admit that I didn't really liked the looks of Spyderco knives when I first noticed them about a year ago after I joined my first EDC-forum. But I guess they slowly grew on me thanks to all the pics you guys posted of 'm and now there are even a few Spydercos I really like & must own some day. Also, I was pretty impressed with the fit and finish of both Spydercos I own now so it seemed like a safe choice to get him a decent first knife. I went with the black one because I think the kid will like it better & because some reviewers mentioned it had a slightly better fit & finish than the blank-steel version as well as better/more durable washers (I have no idea if it's true or not but it sounded good at the time anyway). He would probably like the looks of the partly serrated model even better and I guess it would be good to try out some serrations too with his first knife, but I also want to use this knife to teach him a thing or two about maintenance & sharpening, and the Spyderco serrations seemed a little too hard to sharpen for a kid that's just getting started.
I think most people on here are familiar with the Tenacious, but if not then here it is in between my Buscraft & Ladybug for size comparison:

If you keep your knife sharp serrations are never needed
If you keep your knife sharp serrations are never needed
I agree, but on the other hand I do believe everyone should figure out what works best for him/her themselves, so I would like to give the kid a chance to try them too.
But there will be more birthdays, lets just see how this goes first.
