Every child should have a penknife. Perhaps if children had a healthier relationship with knives they would get less of a thrill from carrying them.The blade and the hammer are the original human tools (unlike guns); it seems anti-human to stop us from carrying them. We shouldn't need an excuse. "I carry a knife because I am human" should be enough.
