Why a Pocket Knife is the Perfect Gift Idea for your Close Relative

Giving knives as gifts dates back to the ancient days. There are numerous superstitions surrounding why it’s wrong or right. Surprisingly, some of these beliefs have made it to the digital age. Some people believe that giving knives as a gift is a sign of bad luck. They think that blades cut friendship, which kills the bond. To alleviate this, people often give a coin to the giver, so that it seems they bought the knife. Such beliefs necessitate that you gift knives to people you know, preferably family, to avoid disregarding someone’s culture. It’s a thoughtful gift, and they will benefit significantly from having a pocket knife at hand. Here are some reasons why:

An Outdoor Essential

A pocket knife is efficient for someone who loves camping and other outdoor activities. It’s easy to pack and fits easily in your backpack. Activities such as setting up a tent, starting a fire, cutting food, and many other camping activities require a knife. Fishing is more comfortable using a pocket knife. You can easily extract the hook from a fish’s mouth or cut the line after a catch. The convenience a pocket knife brings to an outdoor enthusiast is unmatched by any other gift ideas.

A cutting tool

Cutting is the most fundamental tool of a knife. While it may be impractical to carry other cutting instruments such as scissors, a pocket knife fits in your pocket perfectly. Therefore, whenever you encounter any activities that require cutting, you are fully capable. Additionally, for people who value movies where knives are a convenient tool such as the VIKINGS, they may fancy that pocket knife as a gift. This way, they can relive or recreate their best experiences when cutting stuff.

They Offer Protection

A pocket` knife may be perfect for personal protection. It could serve the role of protective items like pepper spray.  While it may not serve as a weapon, it gives you a sense of security when walking around. You may use it to scare off potential danger. When gifting someone a pocket knife, make sure they are responsible enough to use it appropriately.

It is a First –Aid tool.

Speed is precious when offering first aid. Thus, you may not have time to undress the individual. When you cannot rip the clothes off with your hands, a pocket knife is of great help. Other first aid procedures that may need a cutter, such as finding a make-shift bandage, are also made easier by a pocket knife. The convenience it offers could save a life. At the same time, remember to sanitize the knife whenever it comes to contact with an open wound to avoid infections.

With all the versatile benefits that a pocket knife offers, you never know when you may need it. This is one of the reasons why your close family may appreciate it as a gift. Don’t hesitate because of the unfortunate myths surrounding knife gifting, ensure it’s a close family member who shares the same beliefs as you.
