in the US there are generally no laws on ownership of knives, only possession. usually its over 16 in most states with slightly different laws on blade length - usually under 4 inches from the hilt - NOT smaller than the width of your palm (palms are different sizes)

It is probably not illegal to own a pocket knife. It may be illegal to posess a knife at different times like school-sports games-mothers presence-traffic court.

I just bought a knife at Wal Mart, and you have to be at least 16 years old, and you will need to show ID. To clarify, most places of business require you to be an adult of legal age of consent to purchase. Many times this is not a Law but a policy or a zoning requirement for the business. 18 years old is considered to be the age of consent nationwide for many things like voting but there is no age requirement to carry a knife in the state laws.
The age of the knife will depend on the specific knife as the brand old timer pocket knifes are still in production. Taking your knife to a local antique dealer for an appraisal will be you best option.
You have to be 18 years old.
