Unsurprisingly, I have a huge collection of pocket knives. And I know, many of you must have maintained a nice collection too. Given the extraordinary benefits of pocket knives, I don’t consider it surprising if many of you collect and carry them. I tend to carry knives with me, almost every time. Whether I am on my way to office, travelling to witness some landscapes, or at my home, I always remain equipped with a few knives. Why? Following are the things that encourage me to do so:
Self Defense
This is the most obvious reason why I carry pocket knives. Like many of you, I’m afraid of the attackers because I often need to travel in the midnight. A sharp bladed weapon in my pocket provides me the much needed confidence to travel during midnight hours.
First Aid
Not many are aware of this significant use of pocket knives. This is perhaps the biggest encouragement behind my tendency to carry pocket knives. Once I had to assist a victim of a car accident where I realized how useful a knife is as a first aid tool. I used my hidden blade knife to cut the victim off his seat belt. So, a handy tool during emergencies.
Fishing
I’m not talking about catching fish here. But, a pocket knife is pretty handy during fishing. You can easily remove scales from fish using your knife. So, being a fisherman, I never go fishing unequipped with a knife.
Camping
Believe me, there is no better camping tool than a pocket knife. Don’t mind if you have nothing except a knife, You can still do the job well. Often, I just have a knife which is enough for me to serve my camping needs. It allows me to cut woods, set the tent and prepare food.
Opening Canned Objects
We all buy some canned objects while purchasing grocery items. But, what irritates all of us is opening those cans. No problem, if you have a knife. I have pocket knives with extremely sharp blades that allow me to open all these cans comfortably.
Cutting Fruits
I am a regular eater of fruits; yes, I am health conscious. Eating fruits regularly keeps me healthy and smart. But, eating fruits isn’t easy once you don’t have a tool for cutting them. However, I have my pocket knives that enable me to cut fruits in an easiest way possible.
Opening Letters and Boxes
I receive many letters from my company regarding meetings. It makes me sick if I try to open them using my hands. Now, I do it professionally. I use my pocket knife to open the letter in a nice way. Similarly, I receive packages and boxes, often the products that I order online. My knives help me opening them with ease.
Trimming Loose Threads from My Shirts
Pocket knives allow me to cut any loose threads from my clothes. I often find myself struggling to get rid of these loose threads, specifically during winter. There is no alternative of a small blade when you are looking to cut these threads. With your knife, you can trim them in an efficient manner.
