Reveal life’s lessons with a Swiss Army Knife

Your little son has finally grown up. It seems like only yesterday that you were carrying him in your arms. And, in a few lightning-fast years, he became the sixteen-year-old boy you had before you. It is a moment any parent would be proud to witness. As you look at him proudly, you can’t help but wonder what you should get him for his birthday. A new car would have been perfect, but you’ve already made up your mind to give it to him after he graduates.

The best after a new car

Maybe 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 explain endurance and perseverance. These two qualities will serve you well on your journey through life. Life can be tough and you may encounter many setbacks that you will need to overcome in the future.

Being an item used in the military, a Swiss Army Knife can also be a symbol of loyalty and devotion. Many soldiers have fallen and gotten up with their knife safely embedded in their belongings. Better yet, when they run out of ammo, their knife becomes their only hope of survival. The Swiss Army Knife has accompanied many soldiers into battle and has stayed with them through thick and thin. 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 and 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 treating someone in need of 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 your way. And, because you care about him, you want to remind him to always be on the lookout so he can prepare himself to overcome them.

It’s more than a knife

A Swiss Army Knife typically consists of a blade, a can opener, a screwdriver, a reamer, and other everyday tools. It is portable and compact. And you can take it anywhere. It perfectly conveys the message that size doesn’t matter. As small as it is, its effectiveness as a tool does not diminish. And, because it has different tools and sizes, it can fit many personalities. Even better, you can deliver all the messages you’d like to pass on to your child. It symbolizes all the virtues and lessons that you would like to transmit.
