Since we were children exploring the the African bush (or our neighbours back yard) one thing that many a South African child had in common was that we all had a pocket knife. We used them to tame an imaginary lion, or to lift a chop off the braai fire as the sunset painted the skies on our holidays in the veld. Carrying on that tradition, many of us still carry a pocket knife, be it for practicality or self defence, these stalwarts of our youth deserve a bit of credit. Why not bling old faithful up with a lanyard and beads?
