Hi All,
Not posted for ages but frequent visitor! My 7 year old son is itching to copy his Dad making firsticks, tent pegs etc. I know this has been covered before but searches reveal old threads with inactive links.
So, what would you suggest as his first knife? I have seen that Opinel do a folding 'children's knife' but wonder what else I should consider. I guess the selection criteria are: must be small enough for child's hands, must be round tipped (or safety tipped) and must not have any 'tactical' appearance (his learning to date with knives has been on their use as tools, not anything else). Steel type etc is not important - I can teach him to look after it. He has expressed a desire for a wooden handle.
Appreciate any recommendations. Thanks.
