Knife for my 13 year old

I tend to hold with the idea that a boy who isn't responsible enough to take proper care of a knife isn't responsible enough to own one. Buying him an expensive one, even in stainless, is just going to frustrate both of you. Knives are tools and like any tool they must be properly maintained.

Either teach him to take care of an inexpensive knife first before you give him a more expensive one for his 14th birthday or just get him something else.
He does care for the blade. He doesnt use a carbon knife, and always cleans my VG10 F1 after he uses it. Im looking for a stainless blade. I stay in VA close to the beach as well. Another reason for a stainless knife.
