Youth Knife "Mein Messer" with Rounded Safety Tip and Leather Handle
Safety First
This knife was constructed specifically for inexperienced hands:
- Rounded Tip: The elimination of a sharp point drastically reduces the risk of puncture wounds, which are the most common and dangerous injuries for children.
- Prominent Guard: The metal finger guard between the handle and the blade reliably prevents fingers from slipping onto the sharp edge, even if the child has wet hands or applies pressure while cutting.
- Ergonomic Handle: The handle is made of stacked leather washers. This traditional material is not only beautiful but, more importantly, provides a comfortable, non-slip grip that feels warm to the touch in cold weather.
Practical Use
Although the knife features safety elements, the 420 stainless steel blade has a sharp edge. It is a tool, not a toy. It is ideal for:
- Learning the basics of knife handling under adult supervision.
- Whittling bark boats, trimming branches, and preparing tinder for a fire.
- Mushroom picking and cutting food while camping or hiking.

History and Tradition
Knives with stacked leather handles have a long tradition, famously used on American KA-BAR knives. For youth knives, this material is used for its durability and ability to conform to the palm. The concept of a "first knife" is viewed in European culture as a rite of passage and an acceptance of responsibility.
Knife Care
To keep the knife looking like new for a long time, teach the young owner how to care for it. The blade should be wiped dry after every use. It is good practice to treat the leather handle with leather wax occasionally to prevent it from drying out and to maintain its flexibility and colour. The nylon sheath can simply be wiped with a damp cloth if it gets dirty.
Important Warning
While this knife has a safety tip, the edge is fully functional and sharp. The knife belongs in the hands of children and teenagers only under adult supervision. Explain to the child that one never runs with or throws a knife and always cuts away from the body.
