At my kids school each year the 3rd grade has an Inuit day,where the kids do activities on differant aspects of Inuit life.I help out each time one of mine is in 3rd grade.Well one thing they do is scrimshaw on a bar of soap,I bring in copies of Blade and Knives ill. that has scrimshaw in them for the kids to study.This has worked out great even had some young female teachers who really enjoyed the beauty of these knives.

Another way I try to show these kids the value of knives is during fire prevention week.You see I go in and give them a talk on fire safety at the end I show them some eqipment and tools.Then I show them a tool I use a lot that I keep in my pocket....an SAK I tell the all the things I can do with it.Now to be honest I often carry a BM710 on the job, but I got to keep it low profile so nobody objects.

Theres probably ways you can do like things,talk to a scout troup ect.I try to use the soft sell often thats the only way that works.
 
I had fun giving a bible lesson for the Royal Rangers (like Boy Scouts) in my church on the verse "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another".

I used several knives and sharpening stones as an object lesson that in order to be a true friend and 'sharpen' others, sometimes you need to be rough on them.
 
Hey Guys..

Speaking of kids and knives...

I wear a different knife to our Cub pack meeting every week...

One of the boys even asks me what new knife I have this week...

I'm wearing a Rick Frigault "Spear Tac" in BBC (Belt Buckle Carry)

I do try to keep it 5" and under at weekly meetings.. At Camp its No Holds on size..

So far no one has complained and the other leader seems to be wearing his knife more ,,now that I carry every week..

I think that if you hide it from kids, they will never learn to respect the blade.

I carried a knife from a Very early age as I'm sure 99.999% of the people here have.. It's in our blood...

As far as the young man who wants to look at my knives each week..I can already tell he is a knife knut in the making and will take the time to show him some unique and different knives...
