Pocket knife any idea on age?

Found this at a site where we've found several War of 1812 Artillery buttons. No markings other than the saying on one side: ALWAYS WHITTLE FROM YOU THEN YOU'LL NEVER CUT YOU. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.

I don't think it dates to 1812. Looks like a low priced knife for kids My swag, based on nothing, is probably pre WWII.

Thanks BosnMate. Didn't think it was 1812 either but hoped someone would recognize it...still a cool little piece, I think. Thanks for the input!

That saying seems to fit better here in the south!!! Thanks for looking GatorBoy.

It's a neat knife they've made them so similar for so long it's hard to tell I've found some like that at early 1900 sites.
Take care

Might have something to do with boy scouts or something?just a guess ,judging by the instructional advice written on it.
