I agree with this. For scouting, this would likely be the best choice. I got a couple of Swiss Army knives a while back, and I was pleasantly surprised at their quality, and at the very good edge that the knife blade would take. It would be difficult to find a better knife for scouting. I mistakenly thought you wanted a single blade knife..View attachment 1294759
I've been involved in scouting for more than 60 years. My son is an Eagle Scout and OA Chieftan. You can't go wrong with a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife (SAK). Get a Pioneer X. Should fit your budget. Very high level of quality. A knife that is rust free (You can get it wet with no problems what-so-ever). Easy to keep sharp and it can do almost anything you need to do. It also has a nice lanyard ring on it. Perfect for anything you want including scouting.

+1 for multitool..Gerber or Leatherman...but $$$ ...look for used.

My first reaction is to send this young man a knife!But I wouldn't even consider it without communicating with the parents.
.
I was inclined, but hesitant for the same reasons.
I'm really glad to see you taking the high road, meako... had me worried there for a bit...I agree ..that would be the main aim of the pm......my youngest son is 16......
Sorry I called you tightwads....Skinflints has a much more distinguished air.![]()
