Knives and MultiTools
While certainly not in any
way "Locksmith tools", knives have an attraction of their own to any sort
of technician. We've chosen to include this category to offer our
customers more than just the common tools of the trade, and because, frankly,
I find these things fascinating.
Knives have a rich history, going back to times prior to written
history. Stones and bones were used by man's ancestors in ways that
foretold the advent of true knives, both as utinsels and as weaponery.
These crude tools evolved quickly when the Bronze Age took root,
because with the discovery of metals and procedures to work with them knives
soon came into existence in the form with which we are so familiar.
Knives are used in countless ways:
- As weapons
- As utinsels
- As tools
- In ceremony
- As collector's pieces
- For self defense
Multitools more or less evolved from simple pocket knives as more and
more features were crammed into what could be loosely termed a small package.
Early pocket knives started appearing with bottle openers, tooth
picks, and files. Later on, products such as the Swiss Army Knife
and its derivatives found unique ways to add tiny pliers, screw drivers,
and tweezers.
This paved the way for the recent explosion in what have become known
a multitools. Leatherman forged ahead with some wonderfully creative
and attractive designs, known for strength and durability. Multitools
like the BydrRench are as much about art as they are about utility, and they
make fantastic gifts -- especially for men.
We wanted to offer a good variety of knives, multitools and utility
tools and here they are, represented by only the best manufacturers.
This section of our catalog offers some pretty cool knives as well
as other related tools.
