RE: Knife Balde Makes and models.
So, these knives are for a 7 year old and a 9 year old. Think back to when you were that age ( a bit of a stretch for some of us), and what you did with your knives. With that in mind, do you really think any knife is going to be able to withstand the abuse? I used to throw my knives into trees, fences, the ground, and other places. It was a screwdriver, a chisle, a hammer and a prybar.
I would say, get a good Buck knife or similar. I certainly wouldn't spend more than $30 or so.
