Default RE: Knife Balde Makes and models.

ORIGINAL: NightFire

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.
I remember being 7-9 so do my parents
Thats exactly why I go for top quality steel.
Cause it will that abuse.
Maybe I'll geat them some throwing stars as well as a stocking present for Christmas.
In all seriosness though.
My brotherdoesn't mindidea ,his wife hates the idea
because of the age.but I'm doing it anyway.
These knives will be locked away in the gun cabinet
never to be touched unless they are used for the purpose of gutting or skinning.
My brother has promised his wife that.
Falkniven H1 is out because they recomend experienced people only use their knives because of the handle shape.
I'm taking this pretty seriously and still have time cause safety is at the foremost.
Thanks for replys guys, I'm look into them.
