noun

칼, 작은 칼

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. "

할아버지는 서예 수업을 위해 깃털 펜을 깎는 데 칼을 사용하셨습니다.

noun

칼

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. "

할아버지의 오래된 칼은 현대 칼보다 작았지만 집안의 많은 일에 놀랍도록 유용했습니다.
