My Grandsons are turning 8 and 7 this year. Both dads are very much outdoor guys, and the boys are following in their foot steps. I want to buy the boys used classic sheath knives for their birthdays, and make sheaths myself from my new hobby, leatherworking.
So, of course, an 8 yo really doesn't need a big sharp blade, but we are done with giving the boys plastic junk. I have permission to give the boys knives and their parents will be in control of them till they are old enough to safely handle them.
I see on eBay lots of old knives, but I'm not really knowledgeable about the classics.
What I'm looking for is a wood handled classic sheath knife, something a boy can hold, in the $20-30 range used on eBay. I know that's not much when you look at today's prices but any leads on old affordable classics will be appreciated
