UPDATE: Jim Bennett emails:

When I was a kid I spent a fair amount of time with my paternal grandparents in the country. One day my grandmother asked me to take my knife and cut her a switch of a certain length. I answered that I did not have a knife. She was astounded to hear that.

The next time I visited she gave me a nice pocket knife with a 3 inch blade she had bought for me. “Every boy should have a knife”, she said.

Smart woman.
