Penknives

30th September, 2021

A classic small penknife, with its tools on display. I have a penknife in my bag. It’s useful, and has a pleasing physicality. The click of a tool snapping into place; the gentle weight in your palm. I mostly use it to file rough nails or trim horrifying finger skin.

This might be the perfect gift; even if your recipient already owns one, there’s always somewhere else to deploy it. Keep the new penkinfe in your car’s glovebox, or your office drawer, or the bedside cabinet.
