I have the only knife my dad owned - his WWII US Navy issue K-Bar with original sheath that has his initials stamped on it. We broke the tip off many years ago while camping.
I have my Dad's pocket protector with 2 pencils, a pen and a mini slide rule- old school engineer.

We being my siblings and myself - it was a team effort.We? You have a mouse in your pocket that day, hmmm?
I have my grandfather's K+E slide rule from when he worked for Republic Steel, made of what looks like mahogany and ivory. Two of my uncles owned it after him, both engineers. At one time I did know how to use it - our physics teacher in high school would not allow calculators. I also have grandpa/relative pocket watches. My mom's dad owned a 21 jewel 18 size open face Ball in a swing-out case, fully adjusted (he had to keep track of trains in and out of his coke plant). My dad's dad owned a 15 jewel 16 size hunter case Elgin. My mom's uncle was the assistant Catholic bishop of Canton, Ohio, and received a Hallmark (Illinois) 21 jewel 14 size open face fully adjusted diamond end stone appreciation watch from the Knights of St. John. Eventually to be passed on to the kids along with the stories.I have my grandad's slide rule from his high school days. Wish i knew how to use it.
I have his Case Sodbuster he carried most of his life,
