Rescue Knife in use during a camping trip<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“If you haven’t yet discovered the joy of having a quality knife, you owe it to yourself to learn”<\/em><\/p>\n

When I was 10 years old, my father gave my sister and me our first pocket knives for Christmas. Mine was a two-blade Old Timer knife. Being a bit of a tomboy, I loved that thing. I used it for trimming my toenails and eating apples, as well as very useful things like peeling the bark off sticks. I lost that knife 14 years later at the airport when I forgot to remove it from my back pack. I have only the scar on my thumb from the time I cut myself rather deeply to remember it by.
\nKnives (especially customized ones) are a wonderful and practical gift for just about anyone old enough to handle one safely. There are a multitude of good knives<\/a> out there – from a small single blade pocket knife<\/a> to a hefty, do-it-all Leatherman tool<\/a>. You are guaranteed to find one for any recipient on your list. Here’s a few ideas:
\nFor the housewife, try a Buck Nobleman<\/a>, small and lightweight, but more than able to handle opening envelopes and packages, cutting off tags, and any other task that requires a quick sharp blade.
\nFor the hunter, how about a sturdy knife<\/a> able to gut your prey as well come in handy around camp as you prepare meals and split kindling?\u00a0 There’s even camo handles (and pink camo<\/a> for the gals!).
\nFor an EMT, firefighter, outdoorsman, or police officer, a rescue knife<\/a> is an ideal gift; whether they are on the job, in the car, camping, or just hanging out at home, these tools come in handy.\u00a0 With features like flashlights, glass breakers, sharp blades, and\/or seat belt cutters, you can’t go wrong!
\nAh, groomsmen<\/a>.\u00a0 While shot glasses and cuff links are nice, why not gift them with a knife<\/a> that will last them years and never go out of style?\u00a0 Personalize the blade or handle and you’ll be the groom-of-the-year. (And while we’re at it, more petite knives make fantastic and unique gifts for the ladies<\/a> of the wedding party as well!)
\nLet’s not forget graduates, mothers and fathers, bosses, secretaries, anglers, veterans, pastors, and teachers…the list goes on. And, of course, it just makes the gift that much more special when you personalize<\/a> it with a name, quote, date, or inside joke.\u00a0 Who wouldn’t want a customized pocket knife<\/a>?
