I am looking for some good ol' anecdotal evidence, or other type of historical evidence, on when kids would normally get their first knife. Obviously today is different than, say, 30 years ago, and 30 years ago is different than 60 years ago. So, at the very least, when did you and maybe your siblings/friends get your/their first knife, and maybe even what type was it? And, if you are historically inclined, what do you know about historically when people would get their first knife?
To start, I got mine when I was 11. My paper route paid enough for a shiny white scaled Victorinox. This was late 80's.
