One needs a variety of tools to get through Christmas.  You need a hacksaw to cut down the Christmas tree, a snow shovel to clear the driveway, and a giant spoon to serve the cranberry sauce.  The nice part is, if you don’t have any of those things, you can just put them on your Christmas list.

Nothing is quite so handy at Christmas time as a good pocket knife, though.  Not only does a nice knife look and feel good in your hand, but it can be used for so many different things.  Slicing through the impenetrable packaging your presents come trapped in, cutting the dead branches off the bottom of the Christmas tree, trimming the ribbons on wrapping paper, even unscrewing the tiny screws that attach the battery doors on your new electronics.

Those are all fine uses, of course, but I have to say I also feel just a little safer shopping for gifts with a four-inch blade like the RoadPro Folding Lock Knife in my pocket.  Don’t get me wrong, I certainly don’t wish to stab anyone on Christmas Eve.  But my wife is getting this tennis bracelet, pal.  Period.  Don’t get in my way.  Last year I didn’t get her any jewelry, and you don’t want to know how well I learned THAT little lesson.
