This is my sons first year in Scouts (he's 9) and he has had a blast with Scouting. This handy pocket knife is a great first tool to teach responsibility. The product is study, just the right size, and has an attractive covering that fits in with the Cub Scouts colors.
The Scouting logo on the side of the knife was important to him as well. I think that it gave it some validity. :)

I highly recommend this knife for several reasons.

First, it's well made. The grip is good, the size is right for a kid and the edge holds. It's an appropriate size.

Second, it looks like a Cub knife which gives identity to the kid. It's a Cub knife for a Cub.

Third, it's non-locking which I think is good based on my experience of kids trying to figure out how to close locking knives. Also it discourages a kid from gouging. Major source of knife closings unexpectedly.

Gave this to my 9 year old son when he joined cub scouts. The knife is very sharp and seems to hold an edge for quite some time. He has been using it to basically whittle sticks down to nothing.
