| has gloss | eng: A penknife, or pen knife, is a small folding pocket knife, originally used for cutting or sharpening a quill to make a pen nib. Originally, penknives did not necessarily have folding blades, but resembled a scalpel or wood knife by having a short, fixed blade at the end of a long handle. These knives were used for thinning and pointing quills to prepare them for use as writing instruments and, later, for repairing or re-pointing the quills. Modern penknives may have single or multiple blades and additional tools incorporated into the design. |

| has gloss | swe: Pennkniv är ett verktyg som användes både för att vässa blyertspennor och för att snitta gåsfjäderpennor, samt till att snoppa cigarrer. Ofta var den i form av en liten fällkniv, inte sällan med ett par ytterligare verktyg, till exempel korkskruv och nagelfil, men pennknivar med fast blad och fodral förekom också. Pennkniven var, förutom ett bruksföremål, också något av en statuspryl och inte sällan var skaftet gjort av något exklusivt material som pärlemor eller elfenben. |
