Suitable First Knife For My Son?

[Bisamratte]

Any one know where I'd get one of these?

I cant find any uk shops that stock them on google, but in germany they are quite popular. They are called "Kindermesser" here but I cant find a shop that does english....Hows your german?

This is the knife I bought for my little girl. She was six and three quarters at the time, it was a bit big when she first used it, but now she is nearly eight, it’s perfect, mind you she is tall for her age.
The Brusletto Balder is a good knife for a child to learn to use, the blade is only a couple of inches long, (it had a micro secondary bevel but I removed it.) Some time soon (when her knife needs it I guess ) I’ll show her how sharpen it, and let her have ago. Under my supervision I have few qualms about letting her use it. IMHO A finger guard would make it the “perfect” knife for small kids
