Using Pocket Knives In An Emergency
A pocket knife is a great tool to have around in case of an emergency. There are all kinds of situations that can arise that are much easier handled with a pocket knife. One example is in the event of a car crash. If your passenger, or you yourself, are trapped in a seatbelt, a pocket knife is an invaluable tool that can be used to free the trapped person. They can also be used to cut away clothing in the case that first aid needs to be done to a wound.
One use for pocket knives that one hopes they will never need it for is to use it to ward off a human or animal in the case of attack. If you’re trapped in the wilderness, a pocket knife can be used to cut fruits and remove harmful thorns from different fruits. In this case, you can also use your pocket knife as a flint to get a fire started to provide safety and warmth. Of course we all hope we will never be in these situations but having a pocket knife handy can be a literal life saver.
