Minimum age to buy a knife in the US?

I'm 15 and want to buy a pocket knife (2.5in) and a nice fighting(not that I will be)/survival knife (7in) at our Wal-Mart. Will they sell it to me, being under 18, with no adult there? My mom would be cool with it (and likely use them (how my old pocket knife was ruined)), but wouldn't be willing to go with me to get them.
