I would go for the knife. My kids love to help in the kitchen so they have good knowledge about handling sharp knives. This friday my 5 year old sliced the potatoes with a fairly sharp knife.

A gun on the other hand would freak me out - even with the safety on and the magasine removed. We're not used to handling guns, and I assume any gun is loaded with safety off on the rare instances I handle one.
