Reveal Life's Lessons With A Swiss Army Knife

Your little boy has finally grown up. It seems like yesterday that you were carrying him in your arms. And, in a few years that seemed like a flash, he has turned into the sixteen-year-old before you. It is a moment any father would be proud to witness. As you regard him with pride, you can’t help but wonder what you should give him for his birthday. A new car would’ve been perfect but you have already made up your mind to give it to him after his graduation.

The Next Best Thing To A New Car

Perhaps you could give him a Swiss army knife. Having survived many battles and camping trips, a durable Swiss army knife is the best way to spell out endurance and perseverance. These two qualities will serve him well as he journeys through life. Life can be harsh and he may meet a lot of setbacks that he would need to get over in the future.

Being an object that is used in the military, a Swiss army knife can also be a symbol of loyalty and devotion. Many soldiers have fallen and risen with their knife safely tuck in their belongings. Better yet, when their ammo has run out, their knife becomes their only hope for survival. The Swiss army knife has accompanied many soldiers in battle and has stayed with them through the good times and the bad times. With this as a gift, you can emphasize the importance of loyalty and devotion in any relationship. It is also the best way to say that you will be with him through thick or thin. And, just like a Swiss army knife, you can always be counted on.

Because this compact instrument contains a collection of tools that can be used in many situations, many boy scouts have a Swiss army knife. Whether it’s as simple as opening a can of beans or as complicated as attending to someone who needs first aid, the Swiss army knife is always ready to help. By giving him one as a gift, you are sending him the message that he should always be prepared. In life, many obstacles will come his way. And, because you care about him, you want to remind him that he should always be watchful so that he could prepare himself to overcome them.

It’s More Than a Knife

A Swiss army knife usually consists of a blade, a can opener, a screw driver, a reamer and other day-to-day tools. It is portable and compact. And, you can take it anywhere. It perfectly carries the message that size doesn’t matter. No matter how small it is, its efficiency as a tool doesn’t decrease. And, because it has different tools and sizes, it can suit many personalities. Even better, it can deliver all the messages that you’d like to relay to your son. It symbolizes all the virtues and lessons that you would like to pass on.
