I'm sorry you can't see any of my pictures. You'll have to take my word for it... they're fantastic. 🤫 ;)
I use a third party hosting, buy you're the first person that I've heard having problems seeing them.
I've had the server go down before and none of my pictures showed up, but that doesn't happen very often.

I can see them fine.
 
An old boy's knife made by Hadar Hallström, Swedish cutler EKA's predecessor , between 1882 and 1917. Mr John Elmquist took over the company in 1917 and changed the name to EKA, its present name. I include a pic with an insert of an old catalog showing Mr Hallström's first three knives, mine being the second one, named as "Schoolknife" in, what I understand, is a reference to its intended use. All steel, and ebony scales.

A couple more real boys knives. I picked up this type on my way home from elementary school. Cost about $0.25 then. We'd
play mumbly peg during recess. Nobody ever thought about; not kids, teachers, admin, etc. Quite normal for kids to do.

Those were the good old days when a kid could afford a knife, not modern remakes that require you to sell a kidney to buy.

Yeah, I think some of what is being shown here really stretches the definition of “boy’s knife”, if what is meant is an inexpensive jack knife suitable for a boy. I wouldn’t give an elementary school kid a $100-plus knife to lose on the playground. Maybe one of these qualifies?:
