This question is really dumb, because the first thing I'd do as soon as I saw a child holding either would be to instinctually lunge and take it from them. I'm not sure it would matter which I "rather" they picked up, as I'd react the same way to a child holding them.

I arbitrarily picked knife because I think the understanding of sharpness is learned before the understanding of projectiles. Those extra milliseconds help me take it from the child harmlessly.
