Letherman is a great knife.

Opinel, never under estimate the basic look! Excellent knife locking carbon blade....

I'd get a pruning shaped one

Outdoor Edge Mini-Babe

Stashes anywhere and opens easily when there's a job to be done. The high carbon stainless 8Cr13MoV blade is precisely heat treated and hand finished to a "wicked" edge.

I got a victorinox pruning knife for my girlfriend for about £25, went down well as I got it in bright purple (her fave) and they do it in all sorts of colours. Sounds like your daughter is already keen though so maybe dont need to be gimmicky, my preference is for simpler knife only tools then you know what you've got to tackle the job with. Hope she likes whatever you get

wow, what a selection ?
But pricing is a bit more than I would want to pay for a farm knife that will probably be lost at some point ?

Leatherman doesn’t suit everyone but excellent.
opinel, while I think they’re a good blade, the rest of the knife is sh1te and therefore should only be reserved for very experienced users/sadists.

i quite like a blade that can be opened and closed with one hand.

Opinel. AG Edwards sells them locally. Great blades that keep an edge for ages but quite hard brittle steel that will shatter if dropped on concrete. Carbon steel is best but will rust. Stainless steel versions are available. She'd only need a 4 or 5, nothing too big.

An excellent quality and rugged penknife is the CH3504 (Google it).

It's the equal of the big brands, but much cheaper. I think I paid 23€ for mine, including delivery.

Yeah, i lost my rare 'Safety Orange' UKPK on the farm, was gutted as it was £70 second hand and they aren't made any more.

That's why i love the Spydercos, the blade hole allows OHO and doesnt snag or unscrew like a thumb stud (which my current Boker has)

 

[Greenbeast]

Just make sure the blade is non-locking and less that 3.25" if it's likely to be carried off farm, i only buy UK legal carry knives because i don't have to worry about walking off farm with it

A sheath knife is much easier than a penknife to wash/clean up, and a Mora Clipper is a good choice (<10€/10£)

They are good for the money but don't take it off site....

Advantage feeders give away a very good penknife
