I have numerous “knife memories” from my dad. He loved a good knife and always kept his knives very sharp whether they were hunting knives, pocket knives, or butcher knives. He always said a dull blade was more dangerous than a sharp one so he kept his razor sharp. He often said “you could ride a sharp knife to Chicago and back without getting hurt”. But a dull one? I never tried it to see if it was true because, you know, he was my dad and he was always right 🤪🤪🤪

Great tribute to your Uncle Wilbur! I’m sure that knife would have some adventures to tell; if only it could speak, but I’m pretty sure his favorites would have been all about fishing with you.
