Gollnick, your a genius! Well, sort of........I'm playing off of your idea. Sitting here talking with my wife and I told her your idea, and several of the others from here SHE suggested something simlar.

I, being a man, didn't realize that fathers day is next month. I am going to offer to buy his knife for, say $35, and give him $15-20 in materials for his next knife. We are going to then give the knife to my father for fathers day. Two birds, one stone!! My dad gets a neat gift (that I will get back one day when my father passes away), my son gets his knife sold, and I get to make sure this knife stays in the family.

Woohoo!

Thank you all VERY much.

I would tell him I have a buyer , buy it from him, hide it, then show it to him then hi is 20 or so .
you have very talented son :thumbup: keep him going.
 
Wow i must say that is so awesome that he made that! i wish i could do that:D

I think you have a very good plan right now, but i do agree that you could have him practice on a few more and then be able to sell some when he learns a little more...you must be very proud of him!
 
Dinnozo, yes, I am very proud of my son. :) For many reasons.

Thank you all for the compliments. I will let him know that it was well received by the crowd here.

Tell your son that you would be honored to own the knife he made if he wanted to give it to you as a Father's Day gift. Hook him up with the materials he needs on the next knife and tell him you've already got a buyer for it if it looks as good as the last one. Once he's all done with the knife contact me at Tony2Piece@aol.com and let me know how much I owe you.

I think it's a fantastic thing that he's interested in what his dad is interested in. It's a rare thing in today's age.
 
If he's doing that at seven, the immediate consequences may not be so large as the long term. Like when he starts putting out the same quality as you a few years from now.

I would prepare (him) for that.

(At 10 My little brother was touch typing 40 words per minute, with proper punctuation, one handed. Kids can be pretty amazing, don't think they can't do it.)

I'd really like to see his work in person, and yours too.
