What makes you happy? Well, maybe not “happy” but some other kind of feeling like content, secure, mellow or perhaps it is some form of happy, This is a bit of an unusual “happy” but it’s these knives.
I’ve had these two knives for quite a long time, I don’t exactly know how long but quite some time. I think they were gifts, for sure one of them was and I may have bought the other one. I believe my mom and/or a special aunt gave the knife to me. I think at one time they both had the brown plastic / fake leather case but now there is only one.
These are great title knives and I usually have one of them in my jean pocket.
However, from time to time one of them goes “missing”. In these times I find my level of “happiness” decreases a bit because I’m sad that I can’t find the knife that has become a special treasure in my life. On occasion both of them go AWOL and this causes quite a bit of consternation.
They are usually discovered on a closet floor having slipped out of the pocket or in a pair of jeans that have been left at the lake or jeans that have been put away in a drawer or at the bottom of a stack of other jeans.
In any case, missing knive(s) is a significant event in my life and re-discovering both knives brings a special type of satisfaction or happiness. Over the years they have come and gone for varying lengths of time. Currently, they are both “home”. In the full scheme of things this is a tiny thing and hard to explain but it’s still a “thing” to me.
I know nobody cares about this but for some reason I needed to put it down to get it documented and out of my system. Perhaps a future generation will find this curiously interesting. Or not.
