You can legally buy one at any age, as there is no law about this. However, stores have the right to refuse to sell to minors (under 18) if they so choose, because there is a liability. If the minor hurts themselves or someone else, the store can be sued for providing the knife to them. Whereas if the person buying was 18 and over and hurt themselves, a lawsuit is far less likely to occur or be heard by a court, as a adult is expected to know what they are doing and be responsible for their own negligence.
