Kids first knife

[jamie1475]

Sodbuster jr is super easy to sharpen and hold an edge well. They aren't easily closed even though they don't lock. Perfect choice IMHO

 

[jamie1475]

Case Russlock is nice too. Single blade and does lock.

I do like this one, not too expensive since they will probably loose it. Nice lock and rubber textured grip with finger notch. Carbon Steel. Made in the USA

I might need one of these, lol.

Not a whittling knife by any stretch.

But an excellent multipurpose knife for the price made in the USA

The Opinal makes a lot of sense for safety and the handles are pretty comfortable, plus the carbon steel is easy to sharpen

For a liner lock take a look at Kershaw Chill

The Canoe would be a nice one for sure. I still have one from many moons ago. My grandboy thinks it's " one of the cool ones" in the drawer of many...

I carry a Rough Ryder Canoe couple times a week. I love the design, pretty decent metal for Chinatown.

I really appreciate everyone's replies, my search is now over. An incredibly generous forum member mailed her a couple of brand new Case knives including the Sodbuster Jr. mentioned by several that seems like the best fit. The fact that her first knife is the result of a random act of kindness will probably mean more than if I had bought it for her.

I read a review of Rough Riders a few years ago by a knife collector. He said they were a lot better than the American Brands that we all know because at that time many were being made in China. He said if you going to get a knife made in China, might as well get a cheaper priced Rough Rider.
I think now that a lot of the major companies have returned to making their knives in the US or Germany, etc. You still have to look because some models are and some aren't.

I was impressed with the way the Rough Riders looked and the quality of the build. They make a lot of various types. I looked at some at Smoky Mountain Knife Works in May.

I can't agree more, this place is some sort of family in it's own way and it's amazing that it has stood the test of time against Facebook and all the other means of connecting online. I saw the value of the forum early on as a grounding rod for my profession that keeps me connected with the average hunter (I put myself in that category). It would be easy to get lost in academia and bureaucracy without it. My only hope is that I can contribute more than I've received from this place.
