Any recommendations for good prices and selection? I'm not looking for anything extravagant. Cold Steel price point or similar. Need to get my 9 year old son his first real pocket knife.
Thanks

eBay. Find the cheapest price with shipping and buy it now on eBay. If the seller is reputable buy it. You can try places like Knife Connection, Barryonyx Knife Co, etc., but eBay is always cheaper. Amazon too.
Just my opinion. Take your son to a real brick and mortar knife shop. I'd be like a candy store. If it's a birthday present, allow him some input. He'll like it a lot more if he helps to pick it out.
If you want it to be something special it's hard to beat the iconic Buck 101. Walmart has them extremely cheap - around $35.
The Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker is another great iconic knife that can be found at Walmart and Target under $20. It's the knife I would tell all my cub scout parents to buy their sons when they earned their Whittlin' Chip.
I want to get him something with a good lock and that he won't easily break. I picked him up an inexpensive CRKT folder that the lock is an integral part of the handle/frame and he has great difficulty working it.
You want a decent folder......won't break the bank.....got a little bit of a cool factor......and you want it to keep the kid happy?
If you would be interested in a SOG........I'll do a karma and declare that the random number generator picked whatever number your kid guessed lol. I'd need an address and name in a PM.
A leatherman would probably be well received, especially if he is handy.
