Well after all that debate - That is a great result all round - I reckon - YayTradition keeps going, great price, and no brotherly squabbles/jealousyFrom my perespective the Champion is bit big for a kid - However I am sure from the kids perspective the more tools the better - More to play with and impress his friends.... And what an amazing price - Less than half what I would have to pay for it Grrrr
Yes JR - I thought you were very kind - But very brave/crazy involving him in the decision making process!! Well it seems like his collecting/collection is about to start - We all know you can't just have one SAK.And I still think the Champion is a great option for a boyAnd I gotta say those 111mms are brutes - and way too big for a 12yr old - IMHOI have a birth year Soldier for my boy (he's 6) - But I am not sure when he will get it - Maybe not for another 10 years!!
The postman dropped off the new bruiser just after lunch and I'm glad I pounced on this sale. Thanks to a small dangler, it does carry well in the pocket and it's not too big in my hand. I'm really liking it, but only time will tell if I keep carrying it or if the old grande dame snatches her place back.
So rather then changing it do I just leave it? Or do I go out and do a diff color? I know this is going to be a BIG special thing for him so idk, green is one of his fav colors so maybe a neon green thread? Errr what to do..

Give him what he wants. Each kid is different and goes on different paths in life. Make him happy now and that gift will return to you later in life when you least expect.
