When I was 9 I got my first real pocket knife. It was a Cub Scouts official knife. I did not cut myself with it, but it was one of my fondest memories. A locking knife is way safer than a non-locking one like a Swiss Army knife.
I agree with getting him an El Cheapo knife. He'll use it for everything from undoing wood screws, to trying to pick his sister's diary lock, to hanging G.I. Joe's enemies from it.
You can get any number of knives at Walmart. My recommendation is to get a semi-grownup looking one with two blades and some sort of screwdriver and that's it.
