My son wants a knife when we go on walks...he's only 3. I tell him its for big boys and he can have one when he's older, then he askes for a babys knife! He says the same thing about beer, he wants babys beer! Kids! I guess he is his fathers son...
When I was little, my dad took a cheapo folder and ground the tip off and rounded the edge out until it was probably about as sharp as one of those Benchmade training knives that barely cut butter. He walked outside one day and I was sharpening it on the grit of the sidewalk. It seems part of the gig was that if I was responsible with that knife, I could have a new one. I was one of the first kids my age to carry a mini-SAK I do remember that.
