Pink is a great color because it immediately identifies it as belonging to her. Knives are a guy thing unless they're pink, even if it is a hot pink
Normally I wouldn't think of giving a knife to a girl/young lady as a birthday present, but she seemed to like my yellow mini-RSK and when I mentioned that it came in pink she was all smiles
Back to the scouts -- it's really too bad that the Brit Scout bureaucracy sees the answer to perceived knife problems in society to be the denial of their Scouts to have and carry tools that have been part of every Scout's kit for decades. Sad.
