Every cowboy knows there are some things worth keeping close at hand, and a good pocket knife is one of them.
In this episode of Cowboy Cantos, Jason Curtman takes a humorous look at what makes a pocket knife worth carrying. It doesn’t have to be fancy, polished, or expensive. It just needs to feel right in a hard-working hand, stand up to years of use, and hopefully turn up again when you forget where you put it.
There’s a little cowboy wisdom tucked in among the laughs, too. Scratches and wear aren’t always signs that something needs replacing. Sometimes they’re proof that it has served you well.
And there’s one more lesson every cowboy ought to remember: if you’ve got something you really want to keep, think twice before lending it to Joe.
The Moral: Fancy Don’t Make Something Dependable. Taking Care Of It Does.
