The History of the manly pocket Knife

Back in good old days of the 1st century it was the romans who invented the first folding knife, it was used mostly by soldiers, boy scouts and explorers when out and about on journeys and and conquests.

By the time the 16th century came along all the Romans where dead but the pocket knife continued to be popular anyone from a farmer to a doctor, gentlemen from all walks of life carried a pocket knife. It was the ultimate man tool and came in handy for all sorts of tasks including getting nails out of horses hoofs and eating, it is recommended that you clean your knife in between uses you can use a clean old sock for this.

Gentleman have been carrying pocket knifes for centuries, but now as gangs roam the streets using knifes for stupid irresponsible and harmful reasons that cannot be justified and the increase in security at airports and other buildings, the carrying of the pen knife is dying tradition.
