history of the pocket knife

Not a bad link until you get down to the Spyderco and Tactical knives.
 
Interessting read, indeed! Nice to see the history on such a tool in such compact way :)
 
Some of it is neat, and I too like the breakdown of popular pocket knife patterns... but some of it is, shall we say, less than accurate.
 
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I knew that the Romans had folding knives, but did not know that they had, basically, hobo knives ;). Many people carried their own eating utensils, pretty cool to see the Romans, at least the wealthy ones, with their own tool kit.
 
That link freezes my Mac. Could you please post the relevant info, I cant read the link, not sure why, I even tried turning off adblock, but still freezes my computer.

Hi Jon,

The issue may be with your browser. I'm on a Mac too and am using Chrome. Works for me. Which browser are you using?

Interesting link! Thanks to the OP for posting :)
