The many joys of having a knife.

Most boys growing up treasure their first pocket knives that their dads give them. Nothing is funner than going through the Forrest cutting plants and small sticks. If you were lucky enough to have a buck knife, scenes from Rambo and adventure scrolled through your mind. It's no wonder as we get older, knives become a regular part of our lives. Whether you actually need it or just enjoy having it, it doesn't really matter. There is a huge selection to choose from it doesn't matter who you are, you can typically find the one for you.

There are many professions that having a knife is not only nice to have, its almost a necessity. Some of these include fire fighters, ranchers, farmers, construction, military and law enforcement. Having good quality products is essential. Some of the more well known brands are Gerber, Kershaw, Spyderco, Cold Steel, Smith and Wesson, Case and Swiss Army.

Pocket Knives are a huge part of American heritage. On the frontier in the 1700's and 1800's if you didn't have a knife or a gun, you were out of luck. There would be no way to defend yourself, provide food for your family and do a lot of the regular day to day chores.

They have always been around and will always be around. Case knives have been around since the early 1900's and are still extremely popular and well built. IF you don't have one, I strongly recommend that you go out and find one that meets your life style and liking.
