Pocket
knives come in very handy for your everyday needs. Have
you recounted an incident where you wished you had a pocket knife? Maybe you
were outside and the threads in your pants suddenly came loose. If you had a
pocket knife it would be much easier to just cut them as opposed to struggling
with your bare hands. Pocket knives have different uses and are versatile
tools.
Pocket knives are not just a necessary tool for
camping or the outdoors, it is also very useful in daily situations. Sometimes
having a razor blade within reach is convenient and helps you to accomplish
your tasks much faster. Here are some uses of a pocket knife.
Peeling Fruit
If you are outside at a shopping mall or maybe
having a picnic with your family and you happen to have some fruits with you,
you can always peel them with a pocket knife. Pocket knives are an easy tool
for peeling and cutting fruit effortlessly. This is as opposed to if you use
your fingernails or bare hands which would be more time costly, inconvenient,
and may not yield fruit cuts or peels that are consistent.
Making A Fire
Pocket knives are very useful when making fires
in the woods or outdoors. If you want to make a fire, it's best to make
kindling. Making kindling using a knife is much easier and this will allow you
to start a fire much faster as opposed to if you opt for the traditional
hunter-gatherer method where people rubbed twigs using their bare hands to
generate friction. Starting a fire using a knife is also less dangerous as
opposed to rubbing your hands on the twig as you would not develop blisters or
rashes.
Camping
Pocket knives are essential
for camping. Whether you are making food, setting up a tent,
or sharpening twigs, pocket knives are a survival tool outdoors. There are so
many ways you can use a pocket knife such as cutting ropes of different lengths
and sharpening twigs.
First Aid
Pocket knives can be used to cut bandages and
wrap tourniquets to a proper length and coverage for the injury. You can never
be sure when an accident can occur and thus it is useful to have a pocket knife
in hand. Pocket knives can also be used to carve messages on tiles, and wood in
the event of an emergency such as a terrorist attack or if you are stranded in
the woods.
Opening A Bottle
Pocket knives are also useful tools for opening
bottles. Have you ever encountered a beer cap that just cannot be unscrewed? If
you do not have a bottle opener, a pocket knife will work just fine as you can
use the blade to pop off the top of the bottle.
Cutting Meat
Your
pocket knife is also useful if you need a tool to cut meat or fillet fish. If
you are camping outdoors and have caught a deer, a pocket knife is necessary
for skinning the deer and removing the bones.
