Bingo!!!

Just the sort of thing I was talking about.

Except for the Leatherman and the two SRKs, any other knife I own was given to me or was inexpensive. I won't buy expensive knives; the Leatherman is what it is, and the SRKS are also daily tools, and they were the most frugal purchases I could make for what I needed. I can't use a cheap Leatherman substitute for daily use cuz I've had too many knockoffs break in my hand while I am trying to crimp something. The SRKs are actually less expensive than the K-Bar equivalent, and in my mind more ergonomic and durable. Otherwise, I have little more use for an expensive knife over a less expensive equivalent.

Your grandad's blade sure has some history. I wonder what it looked like new?
