Have you tried using a good leather conditioner on the handle of the knife? It might take a few treatments, but it should put some of the moisture back in the leather and tighten it up. Just a thought.
As to 'dulling' the knife for your son, I got my first knife at about 8 or 9, a Case folder (an inexpensive one) that was only marginally sharp, no matter how well sharpened it was, and I got my first dull knife cut - never happened again with any of my knives.
