Pocket knives as the name suggests is a knife that fits in your pocket, and it also folds in to its handle. Normally these knives are no lager that five inches. But on occasion they can be bigger. These small knives have been used for many things. Things such as wood carving, letter openers, to cut fruits and vegetables , and for hunting. Some people have used them to clean under there finger nails but I would suggest not doing that.
Pocket knives are not a new invention. They have found these knives dating as far back as 600-500BC. All though it is very rear to find one. In thoughts days people used fixed blades. Pocket knives really stated to take off in recent years. For the reason that in many place it is against the law to carry a fixed blade knife with you. Because of this Pocket knives really started to make there way into our lives.
A lot of pocket knives have what is called a slip joint. These knives do not lock, and if there is enough pressed placed on the back side of the knife it will close. I think that most of use out there have cut them selves with one of these knives before. Some blade styles that are on most pocket knives are Clip, Spear, drop point, pen, sheep’s foot, wharncliffe, spay or spey, and hook. The most used one of these blade types is the spear. For the reason that is the most universal blade. Most of the others are very specific to a job. For example the sheep’s foot is made for work on boats and does not come to a point. The Hook is mostly used by hunters to gut there kill. All of the types of blades have there advantages and disadvantages. The Swiss army knives are one of the knives that works with a slip joint. Not one of there tools lock.
Other pocket knives have what is called a locking system of some sort. All those Locking knives have been around since the 15 century they started being made on a much lager scale by knife makers such as Buck knives, Case, Gerber, and Opinel. Most of these knives where made with a lock back system. The maker that rose to the top of this pile is Buck knives. These pocket knives would have been very welcome to people that had cut them selves do to accidental closing. Other popular locking systems where the Walker linerlock, and the axis lock was is also very popular. Benchmade has a patent on that style. One of the down falls of the locking knives is you can only have one blade. To have more would be to much mechanisms on one knife.
Pocket knives really don’t have any legal issues. They are ok in all most every country. They are how ever restricted in airports, schools, and court houses. Most of the time Pocket knives are only used as tools and not weapons. The ones that can be used as weapons are illegal like switchblades or other self opening knives.

The Paleozoic EraThe Paleozoic Era is seen in the fossil record as an explosion of life forms. The Cambrian Period marks the beginning of an era with thousands of new life forms in the ancient seas. Prior to the Cambrian period fossils are extremely rare but after about 540 million years ago the fossil record shows many and varied life forms.
Life In The Seas
It is this characteristic, life in the ancient sea, which distinguishes the Paleozoic Era from all others. You see, the autotroph's makeup didn't just add oxygen to the atmosphere.
