Thread: Daughter's first pocket knife

My oldest turns 8 soon, and I had promised to give her her first pocket knife. After consulting with her on the color, we finally settled on the Wenger Scout. I have a Wenger as well, and they're solid knives.



They also have a kids version where the knife doesn't have a point, which is silly imo. I want her to have a real knife because she's got to learn that knives are dangerous. Teaching someone that knives are safe is imo missing the point.

Thanks Bruno for sharing.

My daughter received a red Swiss Army knife for her birthday which is very similar to the Wenger. It is one of her favourite treasures.

My son has a Swiss Army; yes they are great knives with a long tradition.

I like it when kids get knives and are taught how to use them, they should learn to relate to them as tools, not as weapons!

here here!
i too was taught from a young age.

I especially like the scissors on the wenger, because they use the back spring for scissor tension.
Victorinox uses (or used to in the past) a simple spring that would often slip from between the legs of the scissors. I suppose Wenger had a patent on that or such, because the wenger system is superior by far to the old victorinox system.

Nice knife. Well done!

very nice !!! i just bought my oldest son a nice Buck knife for his birthday ... then while cleaning out a closet the other day i found my first Swill Army knife that i think i will pass down the line !!!

Always a great gift from a father. I still have the swiss army knife my father gave me.

that is a great looking knife, also nothing wrong with the bsa standard knife. my son has one and it works great.
