As a child I grew up with family camping trips and Sunday drives. And to keep my brothers, sister, and me entertained during many hours in the car, my father would tell the most adventurous and amazing stories about his "trusty penknife." Oh, the things his penknife could do! It could fix his stranded car or fight an angry bear! Little did I know that someday I too would have a trusty knife - my palette knife. And it too can do amazing things.
