My Poppy, Mike, who is an Army veteran, carries a pocketknife everywhere he goes. This shows his handiness. He worked as a mechanic along with being in the army. He fought in the Vietnam War! He has always done everything himself, never needing help. I’ve never seen him without his pocketknife. If he lost it, he would probably just go get another one from his drawer that holds all of his extras. 

Some of his pocketknives have endless attachments like screwdriver parts, scissors, and knives. He uses it for everything, from opening up a package to fixing gadgets. You name it, he can use his pocketknife for it. My fondest memories of my Poppy and his pocketknife were always Christmas as a kid. He would open and put together our toys right after receiving them, so we could get straight into the Christmas fun!
