It has no point and resembles a butter knife, but it can cut through anything. This knife is in the hands of all three of my sons, and it has served them well in scouting. It sharpens a stick like no other, and I don't have to worry about it jabbing into someone or something.
Mine is a simple ring that rotates easily.
Yes, you can purchase it as part of a package deal at times, but you must purchase it separately at other times. I can't say enough good things about this knife. I love it

For my 8-year-old daughter, this is an excellent knife. The first thing she did was cut herself, but she quickly discovered that knives are extremely sharp. When I was filleting a fish the other day, I cut my hand. I'll be more cautious next time. The knife is well-crafted, lightweight, and razor-sharp. It's something I do as well. Knives are a type of responsibility that you can give to your child. If they aren't prepared, they will not be prepared. That level of responsibility demonstrates your faith in them and increases their self-assurance. If you treat your child as if he or she is a disabled person, their self-esteem will always be low. br>br>Also, handing a knife to a child is not enough; they must be taught how to use it.
Don't be fooled by the butter knife's appearance; this is a genuine butter knife. My 5-year-old begged for a real pocket knife, so I went on the hunt for one that didn't have the ability to "stab. " Day one: He slashed his thumbs on both sides. Early the next day, His pinky finger's outer edge was sliced. That was a bit excessive. I am not blaming the company in any way. I can only imagine how disappointed my little boy was when he misplaced his brand-new pocketknife - (His "paper cuts" are unimportant to him). If you're short on bandaids, you might want to soften the edge a little.
I bought this for my son, a Bear in the Cub Scouts, and my daughter, a Junior in the Girl Scouts, as their first knife. There are a number of YouTube videos available to assist you in introducing knives to children, particularly Opinel. I keep the knife in a safe place with my other pocket knives, and I only use it when we go camping. Because the knife's tip is rounded, it's easier to handle. There is no spring mechanism to contend with when opening the blade, making it easier for small hands and fingers to open and close the blade, as well as reducing the likelihood of accidental snap closures. The metal ring in the middle is used to lock the blade into place (open or closed). The size of the wooden handle is easier to use for their smaller hands and is comfortable and secure, as opposed to the unlocking mechanism on most knives we tested, and safer than the unlocked blades of a Swiss Army knife.
For my cub scout, the following were my requirements for a first pocket knife: 1. br>br> a smaller frame with a better grip (for smaller hands)br>2. a smaller frame with a better grip (for smaller hands)br> a larger main blade with a sharp edge made of high-quality steel (to teach knife maintenance and blade respect)br>3. a larger main blade with a sharp edge made of high-quality steel (to teach knife maintenance and blade respect)br> Because they're still boys, there's a locking blade with an easy disengage. )br>br>This knife possessed all of these characteristics, as well as a blunted point. It's the ideal teaching knife because it's a real knife with a razor-sharp edge. br>br>It's a real knife with a razor-sharp edge - You can't just hand it over to a young boy and expect him to be safe. It should be taught as part of a knife-handling course. However, it is the appropriate tool for the job in that situation.
This nice is one bad mother make sure you keep an eye on the kid with this thing until it dulls a little can cut right through the shipping box with very light pressure way to go France was sharper than my bench made pocket I was astounded by it a it holds that edge for a long time we have whittled many sticks with it and it's still crazy sharp remember you're more likely to hurt yourself with a dull knife than a sharp they say but this knife can cut to the bone effortlessly.
a child of five years). I wasn't expecting much for 19 dollars, but this point of sale belongs in a dollar store. The quality of the fit and finish is abysmal. It's a little dangerous because it's so dull (yes, I could sharpen it), and the lock/unlock mechanism is as smooth as a bad country road. This is being returned. br>br>.
I gave it back to you. My eight-year-old received it as a gift. He looked after it admirably. With only a few uses, the bottom of the wooden handle broke off or chipped. I did get another Opinel knife, but this time I got the kids composite handle one with the whistle in it, which was a shame because I liked it otherwise. It feels a lot more solid, and the blade is a little less rounded, which I prefer.
I was trying to think of how that could be a safety feature, but it appears to be more of a hindrance because when my son closes his eyes a little, it wants to snap shut. I believe that having the knife lock open would be safer. Overall, a good purchase, but for $20, I could have gotten a much better Gerber knife than this one.
