Much to my dismay, a friend showed me HIS own personal transformer in the form of a knife/multiblade that had me googooing for hours. The Striker Folding Multi-Blade is one of those robots from the future that you can fit on your belt, and you don’t have to worry about unsighlty mutiny or revolt from an alien power rising out of your hip!

This Striker knife features an aggressive file, quick change blade, a blade storage compartment, and a corner saw.

If you need another tool to grab with one hand, and a cool name and concept, please let me know, because I would be hard pressed to desire anything but the latest multi-fold from Striker.

- I live in Illinois, and DANNY’s answer is as honest and straight forward as I would want, but also only possible if you are a complete doofus and misuse a knife. Use your knife for a utility tool and not as a weapon and you’ll be fine.

ll over the internet lurk computer generated websites that are as flaky as the adwords you sometimes see on websites that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual content on the page. It’s funny, it’s sad, but it’s also pretty easy to spot.

A week ago I was doing some reading on different ways of sharpening the different knives I have around my house and garage and I kept finding these horrible recommendations on purchasing HUGE and more often than not EXPENSIVE sharpening systems.

Why would I sharpen a $20 knife on a $100 sharpener? Does that make any sense?

Regardless, I typed in KNIFE SHARPENING TIPS and happened upon KnifeSharpeningTips.com – HOLY WOWSERS!

I don’t know the dude, but I read his site quite a bit, and you should too!

All of those are useful and I tend to keep them on me at all times.

Today is no different.

I just used a penknife to pry back the hose clip on an auto siphon while siphoning homebrewed beer into a carboy. I had both hands full and my knife in my mouth and just as I was about to lose the flow on my siphon, I took the knife out of my mouth with my right hand, secured the siphon stick with my left hand inside the primary fermenter, and carefully used the non blade side to lessen the pressure on the hose going into my secondary.

That might sound confusing to someone who doesn’t brew their own beer from time to time, or isn’t experienced with an auto siphon.  But rather than needing three hands in the future, I slowly and meticulously inserted the non-blade side of my penknife into the clamp and pushed forward giving my hose more room to drain my primary.

Penknives: your excuse for a third hand.

After every election I wait and see which of my freedoms will be challenged next. I didn’t feel like my privacy was being invaded when I was told my phones were tapped and my library activities were being documented. Both of those seemed like good ideas, and since I don’t often plan bombings on the phone or borrow books on explosives or Jihad, I figured those were accpetable means with which to protect our population from doom.

But my penknife?

My beloved pocket knives?

The one in my fifth pocket, the one in my center console, the one clipped to my visor in my truck and the one in my desk drawer – all threats to national security NOW when I’m not allowed to carry a gun in my state either.

If I can’t open a beer bottle with a gun like Homer Simpson, NOW I can’t pop it open with my knife either!

Mister President, do something else with my tax dollars please, or I’ll carve my frustrations into the nearest Oak tree!

The cool thing about actual penknives is that the pen isn’t just for show! Most of the affordable penknives are actual pens with actual knives!

ACTUALLY AWESOME!

Some online vendors also stock the refills for the writing half of the penknife in bulk, so you could buy a penknife with a slim blade, and use it at work and no one will know!

With all of a regular pocketknife’s uses, the penknives that contain both a pen and a knife are actually quite handy around the office. Letter opener, fresh bag of potato chips slicer, banana dicer, loose string on your shirt trimmer, dirty fingernail cleaner or a perfect missle for a foam drop ceiling with no pencil holes; your imagination is your only limiting factor.

While they make better tools than self defense products, they are categorized in general as a self defense item, so defend against boredom!

I knew where to go for help.

My Grandpa, my Uncle and my Dad all carried penknives. Every day of every season, from the time I was old enough to remember until now, they always had a tool in their pockets to either pry something open for one of us kids or to make their lives easier.

Penknives, pocket knives, folding knives and switchblades were around everywhere I went from the time of infancy until the time I earned my first penknife. Having been around them my whole life, I have never seen a pocketknife in a negative light or to be used as a weapon.

One of my penknives is always in my right pocket, or fifth pocket if I’m wearing jeans, and it has become a staple of my “must have items” along with my wallet and my bandanna.
