Fans of RideApart know that I'll always stand up and take notice of a new pocket knife, as I firmly believe that these handy-dandy little knives are perhaps the best backcountry tool of all time. Again, helped me cut myself out of a bad car wreck when I was 16, and they've rarely left my side ever since.
But more than just cutting a seatbelt to extricate yourself from a smoking wreck, a pocket knife can be the do-it-all tool you need for when things go south. From backwoods fixes to slicing up your latest hunting harvest to even being used as a makeshift screwdriver, a pocket knife can be the one tool to rule them all without going overly bulky with something like a multitool.
