Good idea cedfire,

I think giving a gift of a knife can creat a bond between people, on hunting trips I still carry the custom made drop point knife that my lifetime hunting partner gave me for Christmas in 1981, I have many other knives but none with the sentiment of this one.

As a youth I was told by my mother that when you give a person a knife as a gift you were to also give them a silver coin "so as to not cut the friendship between you", has anyone else ever heard of this custom?
