Pocket Knife Helps Man to Safety

September 15, 2007

We love stories like these.  Yes a great many news stories dealing with pocket knives are negative and deal with crime.  Yet, pocket knives save the lives of a great deal of ordinary people each year, and we want to shine the light on those stories.  This month has been full of positive stories like the girl that fended off a rapist and the boy that freed himself from an overturned car.  (There will always be negative stories on knives, but remember that if someone with lack of foresight is able to ban knives, then many of these stories will still be about knives, because anyone that would kill or rape is most likely unconcerned with a carry law, and if they were, I guess they would have a screwdriver on them, so they could kill someone without the horrible burden of facing the extra carry citation)  But I digress.  This is a great story.

Just three days ago it was reported by an ABC affiliate that an 83 year old great grandfather was able to free himself from an overturned tractor with his trusty pocket knife.  Go to the full story of The Old Man and the Pocket Knife. (my apologies to Hemingway)

This is just another fine example of how a good pocket knife can keep you safe, and in our latest three stories, only a single blade was needed.  I can't wait to here a story from an individual that has his life saved by the World Record Wenger Pocket Knife.  Please remember to send any great pocket knife story that you would like to share at "mailchum -at- gmail -dot- com"  We would love to share your stories and knife news with our readers.
