#1 My Great Grandmas Kitchen Knife
She (b. 1915) was a hardworking woman and played a very important role in our family. Living off the land and cooking for the family and friends on our farm practically her whole life. My dad keeps this in his safe now. He and she were close, and he had seen her use it all throughout his life. He told me family would always tell her she needed a new knife, but she never got one. So she just kept on using this.
