Richards Penny Farthing knife
on: April 18, 2018, 11:54:36 PM
This knife belonged to my Grandpa. I had forgotten that I had it tucked away until I saw a post on the BF that had one just like it. I remember when I was a kid he used this knife to clean his pipe. It still kind of smells like pipe tobacco, brings back some great memories.   :tu:

Your knife reminded me of one I forgot that I had.

My dad's father was killed in a hunting accident when I was too little to remember him, but this knife with the pouch is the pocket knife that my grandfather carried.

Click on pictures for best picture

I had totally forgotten that I had it until you posted this thread.

Thanks for sharing the story behind your grandfather's knife. :cheers: :cheers:

I wish I'd got my grandfathers pipes and lighters after my grandmother died. I assume they were all trashed.  :-\
