Yes because "trust me im a random dude on the internet studying to eventually get a degree in history" sounds so much better. Im not calling you a liar but you do realize you are talking to random people you really dont know on the net right? You could tell me you are typing from an experimental civilization on the surface of the sun and it would mean about as much as your pointing to past and future achievements as reasons that i should heed what you say. Its like you say, people lie on the internet all the time. I know you say you dont lie but thats exactly what a liar would say. Just saying you can try and justify your words with any claims you want. Its nothing i can know for sure.

Come on. There is a difference between an obvious lie and something which could be at least plausible.

So,
are there plausible lies about knives being told here or are they from the surface of the sun?:untroubled:

I seem to have struck a nerve....

I have to disagree with the idea that toy knives teach bad habits. Most toy knives don't teach much of anything at all, though the ones pictured in my original post have taught a great deal which should come in handy when they get real blades.

They are fully functioning lockbacks. Seriously, they work just like any old pocket knife. Buck 110, Buck Bantam, etc. So now, when they get their Buck Bantams they'll already be proficient with the mechanism.

They're quite pointy. They've both stabbed each other and themselves with them and came to me crying. It's been two days and they haven't done it again. Lesson learned.

They're not sharp, but they are fairly dense and narrow and the lock doesn't quite release fully so even with the lock fully depressed they tend to snap loose like a slipjoint or a very strong detent allowing little fingers to get pinched or smashed. Again, they've both done it and came to me crying. Now they know to keep their fingers clear of the blade path. Again, it's been two days and neither have done it again.

I'd say they're worth the $20 and a valuable learning tool. They're also way more badass than an Iron Man toy and a lot less harmful to their development than sitting in front of a tv or iPad all day.
