Kids and knives

[Skean Dhude]

I too had a fixed blade knife in my kit when I was in the scouts and I was about the same age. I've been informed now that even the scoutmaster can only bring a knife in to show a task and then has to take it out.

My kids have been handling my knives and guns since they were 10. Once I was sure they understood the rules. I never left them alone with the guns until they were a bit older and I even let their friends handle them when I am there.

As was said. It is only by regular use that you learn safe use.
