IMO your only mistake was not telling her advance. As for the knife, it all depends on your son. Some kids that age are old enough to handle it and be responsible, some aren't. Maybe you should make it a camping trip only kind of thing and you keep it when you are at home until he gets a little older.

I've always felt if you teach kids about things they will grow up respecting them and they won't go crazy when they get it later in life because they were sheltered from it in youth. My mom let me have a BB gun when she thought I was old enough to handle it (i was around 13-14 I think) I had a knife around 10-11. We drank a glass of wine with special dinners throughout the year and my mom had let me have girlfriends over and knew I was getting busy with them in my room but she told me she would rather I do it where she knows we are safe then in the back of a car somewhere. She also hammered the use of condoms into me on a nearly daily basis. As a result when I got older I didn't go crazy with any of these things. Sure I've gotten drunk and done some crazy things but I never saw any of these things as taboos so I didn't obsess over getting to do/have them.

I think most dads want to share the world with their sons and most moms want to keep them sheltered from it.
