Pocket Knives for Kids

Pocket knives and kids might seem like they don't go together, but there is a place and time to introduce kids to tools that they need to understand for their own safety. Pocket knives have become far more than just a blade that folds back into a housing. They have taken on almost mythical proportions of gadgets.

  1. Scouting

    • The Boy Scout pocket knife is a status symbol among young boys due to its unavailability to just anyone. Certain requirements have to be met to obtain this knife. The official jamboree knife is simple and is probably the best choice for young boys. It only has two small blades and two can openers of different sizes. The status comes from a small round insignia on the outside of the knife bearing the Boy Scout insignia.

    Swiss

    • The Swiss army knife is actually a good knife for kids. It teaches them how to use objects like scissors, pliers, screwdrivers, files and of course, blades. The Swiss army knife also carries the air of importance to kids, and is recognized as what it s for its bright red color and emblazoned insignia on the side. A version of the Swiss knife has a very basic two blade set-up but still carries the bright red color and importance of more complicated versions.

    Old Timer

    • More young boys have probably carried an Old-Timer pocket knife than any other type. The outer shell looks like bark from a tree, with that dark-brown textured look that is so recognizable. Old-Timers are very affordable and are available almost anywhere. They are the simple choice with only one or two blades.

    Survival

    • The survival pocket knife is a must for intrepid children kids who venture, or have personalities that will take them deep into the wilderness at some point in their life. The wilderness pocket knife is similar to the Swiss knife but has other options like small saw-blades, stiff blades for digging or prying and a hole for a lanyard, or it might have its own lanyard attached.
