I like the Art of Manliness. Great site. But, as a leader of a boys outdoor adventure troop (trail Life USA) we stay very far away from fun with knives.
We teach the tool aspect and every one of our young men knows how to use them safely.
Because they are boys, we strongly encourage the ownership and carrying of knives. My two boys, 17 and 20 own 60-75 knives each. Mostly good ones. Gerber, Kabar, Benchmade, CRKT etc. One is homemade and was carried by a relative in the Spanish American War, another is a WWII heirloom.
