Exactly what I was going to say!!
When I was 5 I found an old rusty Barlow out in the barn and ask my Dad if I could keep it.
Dad cleaned it up and removed all the rust, and taught me to sharpen it shaving sharp. He gave me a small pocket hone to go with it, and told me if he ever found it dull he would take it away. I’ve carried one ever since, and it is always scary sharp!
