I carried 2 pocket knives all through secondary school - I had a swiss army six bladed knife that I used regularly to open my walkman and fix it, and a 3" opinel clasp knife that I used to cut food. Both were kept very sharp (otherwise why have them) and used safely.
Teachers knew, and used to borrow them!
I fear for modern children.
