Large Folding

How to convince my parents to let me get a folding knife?
I have a couple swiss army knifes and the tiny blade just doesn’t cut it. I want a larger serated folding knife but my parents won’t let me get one. what are some reasons for having a bigger knife. Or just how do I convince them.
Depending on how old you are, I would say to tell them that you’re a guy and that’s just the kind of things that you’re into. Because you’re a guy you just want cool weapons and tools etc. I am 15, my Dad was the only one who let me buy weapons and would buy me weapons at first. Now my mom doesn’t care as long as I keep them out of reach of my siblings. You could also try telling them that it could come in handy if you ever go camping and that all your friends have them and so on and so forth. Another thing you could do is offer to let your parents control when you have them out and are using them and such, offer to let them keep it in their closet or something. When I told my dad that it could come in handy when we go camping he offered to buy me a bowie knife. I instead chose to get a hiking knife so that I could carry it around. Just make sure that they understand you’ll be careful with them. It also would help quite a bit if you did something to show them how responsible you are.
