Life is full of little problems. Here are more then 20 solved by the humble pocket knife.
This particular knife is the Gerber Paraframe I - Serrated. I've carried it for several years. In my opinion it's the best choice for an EDC (EveryDay Carry) pocket knife.
Safety Caution: Knives can cause serious injury. Always handle a knife within your experience. Here are some good tips for knife safety.
Legal Caution: Many, if not all, jurisdictions have laws governing knives or any cutting implement for that matter. Check with local law enforcement before choosing a knife to everyday carry.Author: Mrballengi Image Information
