A locking blade isnt concern i fully intend to eventually get them to buy their own clippers/moras or generic cheap sheath knife,
The problem i am encountering is that parents nowadays have bought into the knife as weapon line of thought(fact i am trying to teach thier little cherubs this is not true has gone past them methinks)
however a scout branded knife i think will be one step closer to showing the parents it isnt a weapon but a valuble tool.
