A pocket knife is a foldable knife with one or multiple blades. Typically, the length of its blade is from 5 to 15 centimeters.


When I was 14, I was rummaging through the contents of my kitchen’s drawer and got hold of an old yet decent pocket knife. I needed to cut a rope. The knife served my purpose but I kept it with me as it seemed cool to carry a knife with me at that time.
