The tool on the cover of Knoppix Hacks, Second Edition, is a pocket knife. Since prehistoric times, knives have been used for hunting, eating, and defense. Frontiersmen, explorers, travelers, and soldiers all found ways of making their knives portable. Some knives were placed in sheaths and attached to belts, or they were slipped into stockings. Knives that were designed to fold into the handle were carried in pockets.

These folding, or pocket, knives were first made in the first century by the Romans for use in exploration and conquest. By the sixteenth century, they had gained popularity in America, because unlike sheathed knives (which were suspicious-looking), pocket knives were easily and safely placed in pockets, invisible to the eyes of potential enemies.
