In a PC way, it depends on the kid (ie: your guess is as good as mine)

Coincidentally, a contractor I met with today relayed a story where he gave
a pocket knife to his 15 yr old nephew, who he thought would be alright with
the knife and cautioned him against taking it to school etc. Well a few days
later the kid gets suspended for pulling it on a classmate.

Go figure!

Anyone have an opinion in re:
What is the appropriate age for a child to get his/her 1st pocket knife-

I'm of the opinion that 2nd grade is OK...
