Guys, remember, he's asking about a knife for a 16 year old. I know nothing about this young man, but long blades and auto openers are probably not the best choice for most teens.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

He's a member of aldeer...im sure his kid is a tad different than 80% of other kids his age...my 7yr old can shoot his 22 rifle when I'm home as long as he ask me

Jwalker77, I would but that knife is going to be mine first. I’m planning on a new one for pop for Christmas :-) Got my eye on a trapper with a pheasant, since he hunts them 6 days a week during season.

at 16 years old any pocket knife will be lost in a year. I would probably go with a cheap buck light with clip and a kabar skinner fixed blade for hunting. aint much better than the skinner model 1233, and they sell for about $35 on ebay. I still have every knife my dad and pawpaw gave me. I toted the case I got when I was 17 today. Not every kid looses everything.

My first knife was a 3 blade buck knife similar to a case. BUT I would suggest an Opinel #7 with a carbon blade. They’re super easy to sharpen, they stay sharp, they’re relatively inexpensive (highly likely it will get lost) and they have a locking collar which is safer than a case that doesn’t prevent it from folding on you. Safer for him. AND a lot of people customize the handle for personalization with carvings.

I was going to say this. Don't spend too much on one now. Wait until he's a little older. Even really great 16yo boys go downright stupid for a few years while that frontal lobe is developing. They can't keep up with crap except chasing ladies.

I was thinking the same thing, so I prolly wouldnt spend a ton on it, Look at some Bear knives made in Jacksonville Al. I've got one I been toting for over 30yrs now....They make a fine knife for the money...02
