Got notn better to do so.... my ma is actually considering gettin my 9yo brother a pocketknife for his 10th Bday!? I've never seen a 9yo w/ one and frankly I think she is out of her gourd. Anyway would u trust a 9yo w/ a pocketknife? I wouldn't... Especially my bro.... but ur vote. I think he wants on cause I got one...

I had one as a Cub Scout then a Boy Scout---its sort of an entry into the world of becoming a man, there is alot that goes with knife ownership maybe you should help him read this: http://www.crossroadsbsa.org/pathfin...nifeSafety.pdf
Perhaps times have changed, but I'm sure I was carrying one by at least 10. I always carried one with me throughout middle and high school. Amazingly, it never jumped out of my pocket and stabbed anyone either....
My point is that there are many things that children can use to harm themselves and others with.... if they're so inclined...
I had one when I was eight, but I'm a pretty non-violent guy (now). Certainly I never threatened anyone with it, even though I was getting beaten up all the time.
