Who was the first to make a Pocket knife?

American pioneer Daniel Boone is credited with creating the first pocket knife. He fashioned it from a broken scythe blade in 1770 while living in Kentucky. The knife had a single blade that could be folded into the handle, making it easy to carry and use. Boone's design became popular among other pioneers and frontiersmen, and the pocket knife quickly became a standard tool for outdoor activities.
