Violet Crown Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We're getting Middle Girl a pocketknife for her tenth birthday. Any recommendations for a starter knife? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fhjmom Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 My knife-officianado brother favors Case knives. The mother of pearl would be a great choice for a girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Geek Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Dh and I both like these little knives from West Marine. They are light weight, fairly small, and easy to open an close. Please make sure you get a stainless blade. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_11151_10001_98265_-1?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=98265&cid=sc_googlepla&gclid=CPyAxd6lzrMCFQf0nAodM00ALg#.UKN4aY5brS8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We have several of the folding pocketknives from Spyderco, and they're very nice. We have this set: http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=709 They're nice sizes for kids, especially the larger one (the Grasshopper), and they are available separately as well. DD also has a pink-handled one that DH got her; I believe it was from Cabela's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We are Swiss Army fans. Dd has two because she lost her first for a while. She recommends you get the one with the little scissors--truly comes in handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 My knife-officianado brother favors Case knives. The mother of pearl would be a great choice for a girl. my dh and BIL, both knife collectors, love their case knives. We've had a few Swiss Army knives break. But then again, we have a farm and we are hard on knives. You may want to consider getting her 2. One to carry all the time, and another to keep at home. Knives are notorious for gettting lost.

Shellers Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 My husband carries a pocket knife on him all the time. His favorite brand is Kershaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
