I was packing my pack for elk hunting and wondered if anyone else carries something with special meaning for luck or just good vibes? I have always had my grandfather's knife with me. I used it on a couple of elk and lost track of all the deer I've processed. It is nothing special but is homemade with an antler handle I put on it when the bone handle finally fell apart. I use it some but since my wife bought me an Outdoor Edge, I just carry the old knife in my pack. The blade is getting pretty worn from sharpening and the original sheath was eaten by Lab puppy years ago. My grandfather passed away more than 60 years ago and the knife was given to my little brother by my grandmother. My brother was killed in an auto accident in 1973 and my mother gave me the knife. So it holds double meaning to me. It ALWAYS is in my pack.
Good luck out there.
