A pocket knife isn’t just a small, foldable weapon that you can carry in your pocket. It is also helpful for everyday tasks, like the following we’ll discuss in today’s article!

Carving

A pocket knife can be used to create both functional and artistic objects. You can use a pocket knife to carve a sculpture or a functional object with the right skill.

Creating Kindling

Save yourself the hassle and pain of splinters on a wilderness journey. If you have a pocket knife with you on a wilderness trip, you can use it to break down twigs and branches to make kindling for a campfire.

This will help start the fire, and your friends will be grateful for all the
fingers you saved from splinters.

Cutting Fruits and Vegetables

There's something special about using a pocket knife to cut fruit.   It's a timeless act that connects you to your ancestors while also making you look cool. 

Who needs a chef’s knife when you have a pocket knife?

Cutting Loose Threads and Ropes

We've all been there—you mind your own business, wearing your favorite shirt when you notice a loose thread.

Do you ignore it? Try to pull it off with your fingers. Or, do you reach for your pocket knife and take care of it once and for all? For us, it's the latter.

We can't stand loose threads, and we know that if we try to pull them off by hand, we'll only make the problem worse.  So we reach for our trusty pocket knife and take care of the problem quickly and efficiently.

Making Drain Holes

Drainage holes are small holes in the bottom of a pot that allows water to drain out.

They are important because they help prevent the potting mix from becoming too wet, leading to problems such as root rot.

Opening Cans

You can use a pocket knife as a can opener in a pinch. Be careful, though, as the process can dull your blade. 

If you're looking to cut open a can of beer, your pocket knife can help. Make two holes at the top, and you're good to go.  

Some pocket knives have built in can openers such as a Swiss Army pocket knife.

Opening Everyday Packages

Using your pocket knife to open packages from Amazon or the mailman is a great way to be more efficient. 

This way, you can work on opening the package right away without having to search for a box cutter or other sharp object.

Taking Out Staples

There's just something about using a pocket knife to remove a staple that feels so satisfying. 

Perhaps it's the accomplishment you get from completing a task, or maybe it's just that you get to use a knife instead of a dull staple remover.

Either way, removing staples is a fact of life, and there's no better way to do it than with a pocket knife.

Using it as a Fishing Tool

A pocket knife is essential for any fisherman.  Not only can it be used to cut through fishing wire or slice up the bait, but it can also be used to gut and filet fish.
