A Boy and his Knife

[Ryan Meyering]

I just finished watching Disney's "Rescuers Down Under" with my 2 year old son. The whole movie hinges on the moment the small boy releases an eagle from a poacher's trap with his pocketknife... just wanted to share a great knife moment from a really good movie. What a great way to teach our kids about responsible knife use! Does anyone else know of kid's movies that feature the responsible use of knives by children?

Last night on Dragnet, Sgt. Friday took a light-switch plate off the wall with the screwdriver on his pocket-knife. I couldn't make out what it was except that it didn't have red handles. Hardly a boy and his knife, granted, but if Joe Friday carries a pocket knife, shouldn't everyone?!

mnblade, you know it re: Joe Friday. "The facts, ma'am, just the facts..."

I would think that whenever we see proper, responsible use of a knife, especially with kids such as this movie, that a letter to the movie studio be sent, like a sort of positive reinforcement, thanking them for their positive image. I haven't seen the movie (no kids), but I'll ask my brother, as he is also a knifeknut here and has four of his own.
