I remember getting my first lockback knife around that age. Got a Gerber. Still have it and use it regularly!

Nice! I got a buck 110 from my dad. Prior to that he gave me a knock off SAK probably age 10? I don't have it anymore, but I do still have the 110... It's now a safe queen. I would be miserable if something happened to it since my dad is deceased. Plus I have so many knives now lol #SparksSharps
Next I need to teach him how to sharpen.
Yes, teach him how to sharpen! A sharp knife is a safe knife. U fortunately these essential skills are quickly being forgotten...
