Little Folks Knife Life!

Rostfrei is the German word for rustproof. Rost = rust. Frei = free (from). It commonly refers to stainless steel. Unless I am mistaken, and I often am, FES is better written as F.E.S. because it is an acronym.

Very cool. Thank you kindly for sharing Sir. I'll pass it down to the little fella, he will enjoy being informed about his gear.

It really makes my day when Google gets out smarted by the human mind. :)

These are his latest additions. I bought a knife in the exchange and an incredibly kind member here threw in this Boker as a bonus.

Little man always sits down and we open one anothers acquisitions together, our little ritual. He saw the Boker and immediately got those big puppy dog eyes. I passed it to him along with an explanation of just how happy a random kindness can make people feel. :)

My wife and I started all our four kids pretty young.

The kitchen is usually where they get their first lessons, with a serrated plastic knife that is still sharp enough to cut things. We progress from there...

I think responsible parenting involves training our children to use and maintain knives, and commend all of you who are on that path as well!View attachment 2518441
This is exactly what we’ve been doing with my son since he was about year and a half.
 
My niece just turned 4 and asked for a knife. Her father loves to cook, so a petit chef's knife made sense. Her mother approved this petit number from Opinel. Frankly, I think it's a great intro to knife usage.

Facts man! Safe little fingers and a rounded tip.
 
Now you have 2 knife hobbies to support. When’s the little ones first day of work? 😂

He pitches in. That dude will do whatever you point at for a few bucks.

But yeah, it costs a little. I figure I'm saving on xbox's, playstations and games. He has zero interest in those.
 
Holy smokes. This guy's an animal. A couple more garage sale scores today. One week into first grade and he's doing work. lol

This is actually the first single action otf I've handled. $5

He got this, which the owners purchased decades ago during a trip to India. $5

He's feeling great about them and I'm as proud as can be.
