My sons first knife

[PaulBosley]

Little Kenneth Paul Bosley III and his first knife it's a # 251109 Tidioute standard jig orange prototype

First pict can you tell he's excited?

He doesn't have full access of course. It's his third birthday and since he could walk and talk " I can see your knife?" Has been heard a thousand times. A natural born knife nut!

He looks like he's 5...

Thanks for sharing - Paul.

It´s great to see the joy in his eyes

The knife will always have a special place in his life, for sure.

Andi said just what I was thinking!

I can almost remember being that age and my grandpa giving me my first knife. That is a priceless experience that he will never forget.

Excellent, Paul! Thanks for the great pictures.

Of course, I heartily approve the choice of knife.

Yeah he's big for his age. Well he's always been big for his age 10 lb 9 oz when born. His two favorite sayings " I can see your knife?" and " I'm hungry"

Great pics! I just had both my daughters ohhing and awwing over my shoulder and saying how cute he is.

Are his little fingernails strong enough to open that sucker?

I bought both my sons a GEC made Scharade #73. My 7 year old (almost 8) cannot come close to opening it. His little nails are just way too soft! The other son was 2 at the time, so he does not get his till he is older.

I had to buy a Opinel for the older boy. That, he can open no problem!

Excellent Paul on all counts. If only more would get ...."it's all about the family stupid!"

LOL,what a great score! My son is retired from the military now but when he was about your sons age this was his first.Congrats!:thumbup:

Are his little fingernails strong enough to open that sucker?

Just barely, he has been opening my knives for about 3 months and has been playing guitar since he was two so his hands and nails are probably a lot stronger than most boys his age. His older brother is 13 and can't open it.

Very cool Paul, I still remember getting my first knife on my sixth birthday, Imperial Kamp-king, I still have it, I don't think I've skipped a day without a knife since. I think my daughter already picked out her first knife...........

That's a very good knife period,never mind being his first:thumbup:!-Jim

Very cool. My daughter turned three a couple of months ago and she isn't near strong enough to open her first knife (a 2010 BFC knife with stout springs). I should just go ahead and buy her a Mora, Opinel, or Victorinox Edelweiss to start her off with.

Wow, great pics Paul, thanks a lot for sharing them with us, what a lucky little boy (my first was a Richards Little Chief).

You too Pete, is that a Queen your daughter has there (the knife not the penny)?
