When you leave the house, which pocket essentials do you reach for fi rst? Your smartphone, wallet, and keys are must-haves. Other essential tools most likely include a pocketknife and fl ashlight. If you don’t already carry a knife, we highly suggest doing so. It may not seem like it, but you’d be surprised just how much use you get out of a knife throughout the day.
This ageless tool serves a variety of purposes and can be used many times a day without the user even realizing it. From opening freshly delivered packages to slicing up fruit on your break time, the pocketknife comes in handy for too many daily uses to list. In emergency situations, a knife can even be a lifesaver. Breaking glass to rescue someone stuck in a crashed vehicle or deployed as a defensive weapon, a knife can be an indispensible tool to have with you.
