i'll suggest that you have a look at Ragweed Forge.
they have knives from Sweden that are made just for kids..
i bought my daughter a Swiss Army knife when she was in
scouts...many..many..years ago and she had problems picking
the blades open so i was going to suggest a fix blade..
however i have not really looked around for a knife lately
so the newer ones might easy to open...the best idea i read
here was to take her to a knife shop..the malls here in
Minnesota have shops with wall to wall knives....and let her
pick one..with Dads advice..."you know dear that Rambo model
with the teeth on it might be a bit too much for right now"
