I bought the knife for my son (8 years), because he likes to carve and my kitchen knives are too good. I find the rounded tip very well. The sharp blade I find okay, how are people because carve with a dull knife. The build quality is impeccable, as is usual with Victorinox. The tools go a little hard to open, which I think is not bad, so my son can use it without any problems but his two little sisters do not get on. I can only recommend the knife. The price performance ratio is absolutely right. Who wants to see children's eyes light, should pay this small knife carvers.
