Thanks.

I agree with you about allowing people to carry knives and about "growing into manhood." I won't tell people and don't mention it in my office, but a knife is with me most of the time. I've brought one with me to work today and pretty much everyday for a quite a while, a multitool. A knife has gotten me out of trouble, cutting lines on ships and other vessels.

I also know schools just won't permit knives, even one so small it could be a key chain.

Their father carries a knife most of the time, so I think outside of school, they will be allowed to get some experience with their knives.
