With my luck and skill, that pocket knife would fold up and cut off a finger or two.
I have relieved the pressure in cans before throwing them away, but do so by drilling with the point of a knife wiggled back and forth, or else driving a nail into them.

Between the age of 3 to 8 years we lived in England, so I must have been about 7 when our school went on a trip to the zoo. I was given something like 50p for pocket money and I bought a pocket knife. I was really anxious about buying it, fearing it wouldn't go down to well with the hierarchy, so I thought I'd take it home and use it under their supervision. But I couldn't resist opening it up at the zoo, and the resulting 1/2" scar is still visible on my index finger today, over 40 years later. I wish I was still a boy.
@holy-cow I funded the retirement account for the owners of Hydrogen Peroxide from the ages of 5 to 11 almost always being required because of infections resulting from bicycle road rash.
As a boy I often went to a Wednesday night children's function at our church.?ÿ At the age of 7 or 8, I remember receiving, along with the other boys, a?ÿpocket knife as a reward for good attendance or memorizing Bible verses or something.?ÿ I can't imagine the pearl-clutching and inquiries that would happen today if a bunch of boys walked out of church more well-armed than when they'd arrived.?ÿ I still have the knife 30-some years later.
