If this is a kid, I'd lean toward a Case or Buck Trapper. Go with something stainless though, as kids (and many adults) are not too good about drying them off and oiling. I was given a Case recently (not stainless), and 1 day of carrying in a wet pocket on a spring bear outing found it with a goodly layer of corrosion when I made it back to camp. It's still a great knife, but does not have the appearance that one would like to see on surgical instruments now.
Again, if this is a kid, reinforce that one does not forget and accidently pack it to school.

Oh geezeee... Mooremaker even has a football knife with genuine pigskin handles. It would make a great oyster shucking knife at tailgates. Cool! Dammut Lynn! http://catalog.mooremaker.com/viewProduct.cfm?item_id=739050

Mz Lynn , google " mooremaker" knives in Matador Tx . I think you will find what you are looking for . I've been carrying one since shortly after they came out in 1985 .
Very practical knives that also increase in value over time if it is kept new .For very little more than a Case or other mass produced knife you get a heirloom quality knife .
And [ this is why I started using them ] they make a high-quality CARBON steel pocketknife .
And they make 'em in Matador Tx !!! Simply NOT TRUE. Mooremaker does NOT make ANY of their knives. Period. They are MARKETERS - not knife makers. They have them made to their specs by other firms. Queen and Camillus used to make most of there knives, but with the Camillus plant closing, I believe they use Queen and Canal Street ,now. One thing is for sure, Moore maker never has built their own knives. They are only slightly higher quality versions of other mass produce knives. I think about the only product Mooremaker has ever made in house are their fencing pliers tools and I believe now, even those are made by someone else.

They use Bear and Son now for a lot of the models - not even close to the old Queen issue IMO.

"Fair enough. Same style, however."
byc..
It's a sweet style, I've used it for numerous things.
Besides that one I have a couple of Swiss army ones, a few Cases, etc etc. I like knives :-)

FWIW this is what I carry everyday: ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/CA-029.gif) These are the ones I have carried over the the past 20 years or so. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v133/TLEEF/Knives002.jpg) I am hands down a fan of American made Case knives but the little Camulis "Blaze" in the picture is also a nice one.

And rightfully so.. The sharp edge is mankind's oldest tool besides fire.. Everything we plant or mine from the earth and make into other things would not be possible without those two basic tools. A small folding blade is pretty neat to have around. Even women find them useful.

Agreed! I love the Ingrams as well as some others I bought from Erwin a.k.a., e3ck.
I gave my Mother a Swiss Army knife set for Christmas. She got all excited and immediately put the smaller one on her key chain. Said it was her first ever. Made my day!
