For us, we always reach for a good pair of sunglasses, sunblock, and one of our trustworthy pocketknives. Aside from saving our retinas and skin from the sun, we recognize that a good knife can take care of many of our other needs on the trail, including cutting, digging, and prying, and can be useful in our daily tasks as well, such as opening those Amazon packages. In this edition of Made The Cut, we look at popular pocketknives for outdoor and daily use. Which one will you stick in your pocket?
