I personally would not spend a lot on a knife for either of my kids yet. My boy is likely to lose it. I lost the first knife my dad gave me.

Top shelf steel from Solingen Germany. Small enough for your girl to wield. What I gave my son in a pearl handle when he was a little younger than your daughter. Can’t go wrong with this one. Include a good whet rock with the knife. Well done weezy! Those and hen and rooster have always been classics, sharpen well and hold a decent edge.

Well over two hundred deer later it’s still not a problem. Wasn’t a problem for a 9 year old to skin and quarter 7 deer with either. Some problems are real. Some are imagined.

Show me someone that has not cut themselves and I will show you someone that has not used a knife much. As for a folder vs a lock or fixed blade, as long as you don’t cut with the back side of the blade, which you don’t do, or or use it for a screwdriver, it is just not an issue.

Brisket bone is a tough cut on some deer. Get a razor sharp Puma locking blade and you'll never need another deer cleaning blade again.

I am a fixed blade guy. Having said that I own and have owned numerous folders and typically use them several times a day. I carry a several different lock-blade folders depending on the daily activity (only point down), and these days, usually inexpensive ones after losing too many good knives. Guns and knives scare me as I've too much experience with the damage they can wreck. Consequently I strive to practice what I envision as "safety first" and try to eliminate as many variables that can have deleterious consequences. YMMV Best, GWB PS: I do skin up and down. I don't care to have to flip the blade over, This copy of a KOA "Muskrat" Knife (AKA Beaver knife) by Tim Olt works great for that. Last edited by Geedubya; 12/05/23 07:09 PM. A Kill Artist.

When they are on sale on Amazon they are usually less than $15. I keep a couple in my pack. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q99RXG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WADUIW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They also have the Roach Belly, It works well too. I like it for skinning. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013DIRHQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 "If your plan is for one year, plant rice.
