When I was 12 (1956) I talked my parents into letting me buy a Kinfolks. My Mother asked -- What does a 12 year old boy need with that? Still have it. Blade is a little reduced in size. Cut a lot of things with that knife, but it is retired now. I bought a Sharpfinger to replace it in the field and used the Kinfolks for years to cut up chickens etc before retiring it. Now of course I use knives I made.
