I was about 6 when i got my first one. It was a cheap pen knife. Scales would come off and had to bend the little tabs to keep scales tight. Had some kinda picture on the scales. Got a better one when i was 8.
Was born and raised in the country. Wasnt such a thing as kindergarten then even in the small town up the road that i remember. Some of you guys sure brought back the memories for me. Pretty much got the same stories.
I still carry at least two. One in my Leatherman and one in my pocket and a couple in the truck and some in my fishing backpack.etc.
My girls grew up in the country too and they all had one at about 6. But i confess i failed with one. Shes turned into a city slicker and wont let her son have a knife. Ok now i confessed that i feel better.
Dont let the Edmonton IP. address fool ya we dont live there much. Long story.
