I'd definitely take away the pocketknife too. Who knows why boys do some of the things they do? Sometimes it really doesn't make sense. You might set a jar out and have him start putting money in it ahead of time to help pay for the linoleum. That way his punishment starts now not in the future.

Such as why does a 17 yr. old boy decide to stand on a motorcycle seat when it's going 55 mph down the highway? My son TRIED this one!! He fell off and ended up having surgery on his elbow and spent 4 days in the hospital. I think that he was showing off, but who knows? It made no sense to me!
