I'm all about heirlooms. I have my Uncle's knife that he had when he was in the Boy Scouts. It's marked "BSA" at the base of the blade along with his initials "W. E. Annis. My Grandfather knew old Cherokee that he was somehow related to make a leather sheath for the knife. I have that knife; it's my deer knife. They, my Grandpa and my Uncle, have gutted many deer and elk with it so it's not the "virgin" that spike talks about but I will still be just as proud to turn it over to one of my boys when the time comes. I have my Grandpa's 30-06 and I look forward to the day I turn it over to one of my boys.
If I had to vote I'd vote Option '1'
