My father gave me my first knife when I was around 8 or 9 years old and it was a 3 bladed Schrade Old Timer. That was over 40 years ago and I still have it and use it. My father passed in 2002, so this knife has a lot of sentimental value for me.

I told my kids they can get a knife as soon as they start treating it like a tool, not a toy. Their first knife is a Victorinox Tinker. I got them each of their own. The oldest one is getting a Buck Bantam BBW soon. Excellent performance and many size/color/patten to choose from at affordable prices. A high value USA made blade in deed. My first EDC is a Kershaw Leek. Love it. I favor the frame lock over the liner lock though.

Fair point and well noted sir! I would still go for the Delica in either case though... we always think little hands should have little handles, but as gross motor function is still developing when young, a little extra handle length will be easier and safer to control. If you are talking about teenagers though that definitely starts to shift, so bring on the smaller knives! -DCA

The parcel hook on the Compact makes a good holder for the pen. Open the parcel hook and lay the pen in the groove. Then gently close the hook onto the pen.

Something interesting young knife enthusiast likely might not know. About every pocket knife or hunting knife sold long ago came sharp as butter knife out of the knife case. Crazy as it sounds it’s true; because people kept cutting themselves on sharp ones. Most pocket knives had two blades one short and one long. Often both had rounded points and straight edges; there were exceptions but sure not like today's knives. The idea was; if you didn’t know much about using a knife you were less likely to hurt yourself. A boy and his dog included a trusty pocket knife. Most pocket knives were hard to open to keep little boys from being hurt. It works; I can tell you from experience. There is a saying; a dull blade is more dangerous than a sharp one which is true. However, that is if you know how to use it; is not mentioned. The first thing to lean hammering a nail is not hitting your thumb. The first thing to learn about knives is not cutting your finger; the second is how to sharpen a knife. Little blades make little cuts, big ones make big cuts. Real sharp ones make Emergency Rooms lots of money. There are two kinds of knife enthusiast; one’s that never got stitches and one’s going to get stitches.
