Does it have to be the Ganzo? There are a bunch of inexpensive Chinese knives from Sanrenmu and Enlan that cost less than $15 and yet come with mid-end steel. Not to mention that I am opposed to giving a teenager any knife with a blade longer than 8cm.
Plus some may rain negative karma on you for the Ganzo since it uses the copyrighted axis lock.
It's a shame you are limited to XXXXX. You can find a Sanrenmu 7010 online for about $9 shipped. On XXXXX I saw $11 shipped.
No it's not a fantastic knife, but it's a good one. It would be good to get a 14 year old to see if he would take to knives, and you could get 3 for the price of a Rat.
