When asked to write an article on knives and all of the various angles concerning outdoor cutlery no one had clue how big of a can of worms had been opened. It reminded me of a neighbor in Tyler that had collected a coffee can full of caterpillars to go fishing and put the can in the trunk of his car. He later opened the trunk and called me over to take a look. There was not one caterpillar in the can. Instead, they were hanging off the bottom side of the roof and sides of the trunk plus crawling all over. That’s how this article is going to be. We’re going to explore many of the aspects concerning knives.
