I wrote a satirical post about appropriate ages to give your children razor sharp weapons here. It originated from a photo of my oldest son holding a two-handed sword.

That single post has generated more search result hits on my blog than any other post! What? Are there really that many people searching google for the appropriate age to give their son a pocket knife or other sharp weapon?

That’s kinda scary but true.

On a personal note (and not in any way to be construed as advice) I have given my 3 of my boys their very own pocket knife. I’m a dad of 4 boys. I’m gonna let them be boys. Blood and all. I’ve trained them on how to handle a pocket knife and willing to put up with some minor cuts (and so is my wife).

Here are some other tips if your crazy enough to follow my example and give your son a pocket knife at an early age.

My humble and sometimes wrong opinion is that there is enough out there turning our boys into over-emotional, in-touch, feminized, sissy boys. Just make sure you watch the animated cartoon below before you give your son a pocket knife.

Good luck!
