Thought I'd share this with everyone here...

I have a 6 year old son and a 5 year old daughter that I've been teaching about my pocket knives...

They've seen a few of my Spyderco's, and they know to recognize them when they see the spider logo.

Yesterday, my daughter saw a Benchmade and she said, "Daddy, I like this Butterflyco knife." :)

So she was able to deconstruct the name Spyderco and apply the same formula to another product at 5 years old? Start saving for grad school sir.
 
Well done sir. My now 4 yr daughter said 'knife' at around 17 months old and has enjoyed the forum as well for a few years now. She likes to sit with me and look at the pics. Often she will say,

"Daddy daddy buy that one!"

She has expensive taste.

The other day I had swapped the blades on Manix Maxamet FRN and a s30v with g10. One sliced me slightly and she said,

"Daddy, did your Spydie bite you?"

Im teaching her with her purple alox Cadet. I'll pull the blunted driver cap popper out and she'll "cut." I take it away when she tries to cut something she shouldnt, like her 2 yr old sister.
 
I'm not 5 anymore. But I think knives (and watches, guns, rods, reels, etc) are more fun when they have names. I really resist memorizing model numbers and resent having to google the model number to see what people are talking about. My Benchmades all came with names, as did my Spider Monkey. Kershaws have names from the factory. I call my only ZT Gibbs'. The little Blackhawk I recently purchased on the exchange is Tactical Bottle Opener.
 
I've been teaching my 3 and 4 year old nephews about knives. They are fascinated by my Vic super tinker. Emmett, the 4 year old, saw the bottle opener, and said " Daddy needs one of these, to open his beer. Daddy likes beer, a lot!"

He is the king of saying inappropriate things in public. When he was three, he said in the check out line at the grocery store "I put sour cream on momma's boobies!" My sister raced out of there.

I'm going to get him the wooden Spyderco delica for Christmas.
