noun

पॉकेट चाकू, कलम चाकू

Originally a small utility knife for cutting the points of quill feathers or reeds into nibs to provide or repair writing implements in times before pens with artificial nibs, generally metal, became commercially available in the 19th century. Early versions of penknives commonly were small sheath knives.

Examples :

"My grandfather used penknives to sharpen his quill pens for his calligraphy lessons. "

मेरे दादाजी अपने सुलेख पाठों के लिए अपनी कलमों को तेज करने के लिए पॉकेट चाकू का इस्तेमाल करते थे।

noun

पॉकेट चाकू

As the need to cut nibs for pens fell away, but small utility pocket-knives remained popular, "penknife" became synonymous with "pocket-knife". Modern penknives often incorporate other tools such as corkscrews, but as a rule are smaller than general-purpose pocketknives.

Examples :

"My grandfather's old penknives were surprisingly useful for many tasks around the house, even though they were smaller than modern ones. "

मेरे दादाजी के पुराने पॉकेट चाकू घर के आसपास कई कार्यों के लिए आश्चर्यजनक रूप से उपयोगी थे, भले ही वे आधुनिक लोगों की तुलना में छोटे थे।
