My son who is a great young man, somehow manages to break or lose any knife or multi tool

This was a lion steel from Italy. The AL frame and lock are no match for a 17 yr old.

If anyone wants the blade there isn’t a mark on it and it is Bohler steel.

Is he learning from his errors? Might just get him a Milwaukee Fastback, pretty robust not too expensive and really doesn’t lend itself to pry bar use.

Mine covers about 90% of my daily needs. Boxes, cord, shrink wrap, wire stripping, mail, it’s not much for whittling or bushcraft. They’ll “cut a bitch” in the personal defense role .

Looks like its time for a fixed blade until he figures out the limits of working w/ a folder

Eafengrow EF121. $28 D2 Chinese fixed blade on Amazon and he can beat the dogshit out of it and I'd be shocked if he can break it. Stout little blade.

Is he buying his blades with his own money or you buying them for him ???.... Maybe he would be more careful if he was paying for them out of his own pocket.. .............................. drillsgt.

This was mine and the only one of mine so far. Couple of multi tools lost fishing were freebies.

He is a great kid, if this is the worst for an 18 yr old I’m blessed.
