MoraknivClassic Scout 39 Safe Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade and Leather Sheath, 3.3-Inch

I bought this for my nine-year-old daughter as a general camping and carving knife. Pocket-knives are great, but I prefer these because they are more substantial, so safer to use for carving. They also don't fold, which seems to be how I cut myself on pocket knives. The end is blunted for safety, but the blade (which is good quality) is very sharp. The sheath is a nice touch (leather, but lower quality) for added appeal.Although a children's knife, it is still a knife, but a great (probably the best) option for adults wanting to teach children responsible use.

i bought this knife for one of my kids to they can learn how to properly use a knife. With the blunted tip I do not have to worry about her stabbing herself. The thing is still Swedish steel and will definitely hold an edge so there is still some risk. However since it is sharp that risk is less then with a dull knife.

I got this for my boys that where 6 and 7 at the time and the simple design coupled with the finger guard allowed me to teach them how to properly use the knife and limit the risk of them cutting themselves. The knifes came super sharp and in excellent condition from the factory. I did ding them 1 star barbecue the sheath snap pops open very easily at first but that was quickly fixed by tapping the male end of the snap buckle with a small hammer to make the face of the snap a bit wider.

For my son's 13th birthday I wanted to get him his first knife. I did an exhaustive internet search on "first knives" and this one came up many times. And I agree, it's perfect! It is easy for smaller hands to use, it looks great on a belt, and it is very sharp.The handle is unfinished, which is ok. Finishing it will be a great project.I am very happy with it and I reccomend this knife!

If I can give any advice to a parent buying a knife for a kid under 13 it would be to try to keep the blade length shorter than their index finger so that when they hold the knife and point their finger, their finger is very near the tip of the blade. The reason for this is that your kid will have an eyes closed awareness of their finger length and therefore blade length and will be less likely to stab themselves. The 85mm blade is going to be longer than your kids index finger but fortunately the last little section isn't sharp so they got that going for them.The knife is light, has a great blade, easy to sharpen compared to other knives. It comes razor sharp from the factory so make sure you want that for your kid. The knife is small, I have a bigger hand and would not use this knife for myself but for my kids it is great. Also the sheath is synthetic and seems pretty durable. It is a winner. Now if you like to shop for knives then throw this one into your cart keep looking. I shopped a lot and decided on this one and bought one of the classics for myself. I am giving the Mora Scout Safe 4 stars because the handle is unfinished and we're going to have to oil it. Easy.

Great first knife for young ones. Can't pinch fingers like a pocket knife and tip is just rounded enough to not worry about stab injuries. Guard prevents little hands from slipping onto blade. Simple construction. Nothing fancy. Sheath motivated my seven year old to wear a belt! Perfect first knife to learn safe use.

I got this for my son. He likes it. The point is dull so there is less chance of a puncture wound. The knife is otherwise sharp. It helps kids to focus on the proximal part of the blade close to the handle for more controlled whittling. I took off a star because it would be better as a half guard only and the sheath is a little flimsy.

As a first knife, this is much safer than a folding knife, which can fold in on inexperienced fingers. For outdoor use, it's close to perfect for all-around camping, hunting, and for carrying as a boot knife. Also an excellent boner knife for meat prep. Mora gets a big A+ both on overall design, and quality of the SHARP blade.

Excellent small knife, imagine a full tang slightly larger Swiss Army knife, but overall a well made, reliable knife.

Great size for my 8 year old to use in forest school. the tip is blunt just the right amount and the guard is the right size. This is not an adult knife!

5歳の息子と冬のブッシュクラフトに挑戦しようということで、息子のファーストナイフとして購入しました。一緒に木の枝で橋を作ったり、ファットウッドを削ったりしてまぁまぁ楽しんでくれたので良かったです。購入に至ったポイントは下記となります。①息子に扱えるサイズ感（大きすぎない）②鍔（つば）が備わっていること（力を入れて柄から手が滑っても手を切らない）③先が尖っていないこと（ナイフを滑らせたりした際の怪我の程度の軽減）④切れ味が鋭いことおそらく、刃物を持たせる年齢としては早めだと思うので安全対策がしてあることが優先かなと思いました。④については現品を確認しないとわからないので賭けの部分がありましたが、実物は想定上に切れ味が鋭く、取って出しでカッターナイフのようにスパスパ切れます。切れないナイフを使うと必要以上に力を入れるので手元を滑らせたりして怪我をする可能性が格段に増えるので重要なポイントだと思います。サイズが小さく、刃圧も無く、柄の色や刃先の加工など、手に取ると安っぽく価格が高いなぁという印象ですが、どれも子供が使用する安全性を求めた結果で他の標準的なモデルより手間がかかっているので妥当な値段なんだろうと妙に納得しました。当然ですが、小さい子供さんにナイフを利用させる時はしっかりと使い方を教えてあげてください。そして目を絶対に離さないでください。自分の体の方に刃を向けて力を入れちゃダメだと教えても、慣れないうちは必ずそうしようとしてしまいます。あと、怪我をしたときのことを想定して手当てをするものは用意しなければいけません。
