My Grandsons first knife.

Ah..I remember my first knife, Wenger Esquire..now sitting in my sister's room. Hope he proves to be responsible with it

He is doing well so far except for nicking his finger peeling an apple. It is the small cuts with small knives that teach the younguns not to get the big cuts with big knives. The rough edge I put on it has a 80 degree inclusive angle. It will whittle wood but does not even begin to push cut.
 
My son just turned 15 and he has about 15 or 20 knives. No expensive ones, but several that were my fathers. I have to buy him a good knife now. I told him if he upped his algebra grade a letter after his final I'd buy him a Benchmade. :) He's on his way to a good sized collection I can tell.

It wasn't my first knife, but my first SAK (around the same age as your grandson) was a classic that I proudly wore everywhere on a necklace made of parachute cord. Back then it wasn't a big deal to carry knives in school, and let me tell you what, those little scissors cut more than their share of cardboard at school. That was the greatest feeling in the world, when everybody else was sharing cheap shoddy school scissors, I merely had to pull my little SAK out and was ready for business!
