By around that age, all the kids in my family get a basic scouting knife, like [Scouting Knife] (http://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Classic-Scout-Stainless-3-3-Inch/dp/B00EAL17G6/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1426612525&sr=8-32&keywords=morakniv)
They've proven very practical first knives for beating around.
The Mora comes in a lot of different forms and the price is pretty nice Ex1 http://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Classic-Craftsmen-Utility-3-9-Inch/dp/B003Z5CTV0/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1421064634&sr=8-19&keywords=MORA+fixed+blade Ex2 http://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Classic-Scout-Stainless-3-3-Inch/dp/B00EAL17G6/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1421064219&sr=8-14&keywords=MORA+fixed+blade Ex3 http://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Classic-Craftsmen-Utility-4-2-Inch/dp/B003Z5GRUY/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=08QQT1AEGRYMCVC9NXTB I dont know much about Elk Ridge tho which model from Elk Ridge do you like? If none of the Mora's are of interest to you then maybe someone can find you a knife like the Elk Ridge your looking at. Or maybe someone who owns one can tell you the quality of them.
I don't know what kind of paces your pappy put that knife through, but it just goes to show that Moras will. not. die.
The biggest issue is probably the giant chunk carved out of the handle, although it kind of looks like it may have been done intentionally to improve ergonomics. How does it feel in-hand? If it feels natural or like the notch was carved intentionally, I'd just give the handle a coat of mineral oil and leave it alone. Otherwise, you could try filling it and painting over it, or you could try carving a new handle for it.
It looks like there may be a small chip about 2/3 up the blade, but that's simple to take care of. Scandi grinds are easy to work with, but it takes a long time to work out a chip with a stone. Don't worry about the blunt tip, the Mora scout doesn't even have a tip.
Looks like a bit of rust on the bolster. You could buff it out or leave it be, it probably won't cause problems.
