i really want the crkt knife (columbia river knife) (i think that is what it is called)
crkt is a good brand.
cold steel, benchmade, buck, gerber, are all good too.
there are a lot of really good makers, and a few really bad ones.(if it's in a fishbowl at a gas station cash register, it's ok for a tackle box.) you get what you pay for.
whatever you get, take care of it and it will serve you well.
get a sharpening stone and learn to use it, it's easier to maintain an edge than to get a new one.
if you want a classic folder, i'd suggest the buck model 110, it's the quintessential lockback knife. and not outrageously priced.
i got my first pocketknife at age 5, my first hatchet at 4.
first sheath knife at 10.
12 is not too young for a knife.
