Angelina Jolie and Maddox Bond over Knife Play

When you were a child, your mother probably taught you a few lessons to keep you out of harm's way. Maybe she let you stick a fingertip in a match flame to teach you the dangers of fire. Maybe she let you pull the dog's tail to learn that puppies get bitey when you hurt them. But naturally Angelina Jolie is a bit more extreme in her parenting style. She wants to teach Maddox that knives can hurt people by giving the kid his very own dagger. Reports The San Francisco Chronicle:

Angelina Jolie has already bought her eldest son his first knife, because she thinks it's important he learns about the dangers and benefits of daggers.

The actress, a longtime knife collector, was 11 when her mother took her weapon shopping for the first time, and she recently treated adopted son Maddox to his first dagger.

But she insists her son's first knife was dulled for safety and came with a serious talk about violence.

Jolie tells the November issue of W magazine, "We take him to a special shop.

"We also talk about Samurais and the idea about defending someone as good. We talk about everything."

Where does someone like Angelina Jolie buy a dagger? Does she throw on her black trench coat and head down to the transitional store in the mall like everyone else? Does she stock up on other must-have items while waiting for her dagger to be dulled? A few dragon figurines? A Lord of the Rings chess set? And does she stick around to play a round of Magic the Gathering while she's there?
