I love peeling an apple with my pocket knife because it makes me feel like a villain — and you can save 30% on the best pocket knives this Prime Day
This year's Amazon Prime Day sales are almost wrapping up as we near the finish line, so now is (almost) your last chance to save big on your favorite tech and outdoor gear. I don't know about you but I've always enjoyed watching villains use a slick pocket knife to peel an apple or slice open an envelope. You're in the right place if you feel the same way, as I've rounded up the best Prime Day pocket knife deals for you. Whether you're looking for a simple pocket knife or a multitool that includes everything you'll ever need, I've got you covered. My favorite deal is on the WORKPRO 11-in-1 multitool which is currently down to just $14 at Amazon. Or if you want a premium knife from the likes of Leatherman, the Leatherman Free T2 Multitool is currently 25% off which is fantastic, bringing it down to just $37 from its retail price of $49. There's more where that came from. Here are the best deals I've found on pocket knives and multitools from Leatherman, Kershaw, Gerber and more! And once you're done, don't forget to check out the freebies you can secure this week. This multipurpose tool includes long and regular pliers, a wire cutter, a saw, a knife, a Phillips screwdriver, a slotted screwdriver, a wire stripper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and a carabiner. It's the perfect solution for all your daily needs A safety liner locking mechanism ensures the tools are locked away to prevent any hazardous mishaps. You can attach the included nylon sheath to your belt or bag too for easy transport. Leatherman is a prominent name in the world of pocket knives and multitools, and I own a Leatherman pocket knife myself. You can pop open the Free T2 with just one hand, and it includes eight tools, from a 420HC knife and a bottle opener to a pry tool and a variety of screwdrivers. Also, it comes with a 25-year warranty! You know what the Kershaw Olive Outright pocket knife reminds me of? The knife Rio Vidal uses in 'Agatha All Along.' It oozes class and a premium edge, and it looks like something an actor in a superhero movie would use. The steel blade delivers superior hardness, excellent edge retention, maximum slicing power and reliable strength, and it sports a stealthy look. The olive green colorway looks fantastic too. Another classic from Leatherman, this is one of the pocket knives I own. It's highly portable, it folds down and locks into place, and it includes eight tools, such as a pry tool, bottle opener, screwdrivers and package opener. I love busting this bad boy out whenever I receive a package or need to slice open a simple envelope — makes me feel like a detective! The Gerber Gear Dime 12-in-1 Multitool, as the name suggests, consists of 12 tools, including a plain edge blade pocket knife, scissors, small and medium flat head driver, fine and more. For tradesmen or those who spend a lot of time camping or outdoors, it is near-essential.

Police in Berks warn of checkpoints, DUI patrols through graduation party season
Checkpoints, roving DUI patrols and undercover details at stores that sell alcoholic beverages are in the works in Berks County for the rest of June, a time when high school graduation parties are typically held, officials announced. The enhanced enforcement follows a month in which local police took about two dozen impaired drivers off the roads in Berks on a single night in sobriety checkpoints, officials said. While police congratulate the 2025 graduates and encourage them to celebrate with friends and family, they remind them of the zero-tolerance policy for underage drinkers under Pennsylvania law. The checkpoints and DUI patrols are being conducted with the North Central Regional DUI Enforcement Program, which equips, funds and coordinates the municipal police DUI enforcement in Berks, Schuylkill and 12 other counties. The program is funded through grants from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Adults also face arrest if they are caught serving alcohol to a person under the age of 21. That's in addition to their liability for hosting a party in which alcohol is available to minors. Police may also be posing as store employees to catch those buying alcohol for minors, a program known as 'Cops in Shops.' While the latest waves of enforcement have focused on drinking activities surrounding proms and graduation events, anyone who drives while impaired risks arrest. Three checkpoints were conducted the same night in mid-May, one in Cumru Township and two others hosted jointly by the Eastern Berks Regional and Exeter Township police departments. Combined, police made 25 DUI arrests. In just two hours on Route 100 in Colebrookdale Township, officers arrested seven drivers for suspected DUI. Later that night, officers moved the checkpoint to Route 422 in Exeter where they made five more arrests. 'Everyone was surprised by the number of encounters with impaired drivers,' Eastern Berks Police Chief Barry Leatherman said. 'It tells us a lot about the amount of impaired driving out there.' While catching impaired drivers is the goal of checkpoints, locations of which are determined by data on DUI-related crashes, police would rather make no arrests, which would indicate a scarcity of impaired drivers, Leatherman said. 'The reality is if people are breaking the law by doing this (driving after consuming alcohol or using controlled substances) they need to be caught because they're endangering the lives of everyone on the road,' he said. Young people need to think about potential deadly consequences of impaired driving, Leatherman said. 'The thought of getting arrested or losing your license really pales in comparison to the human toll,' he said.

'The calm voice on the other end': Remembering Major Leslie Letherman's legacy of service
LONDON — A hero was laid to rest on Memorial Day, with community members lining London's Main Street to pay tribute as the funeral process passed by. Major Leslie Leatherman spent a lifetime answering the call of public service. Whether through firefighting (39 years with Laurel County Fire Department), emergency medical response, or dispatching, he was known throughout the area of southeastern Kentucky for his steady presence and unwavering dedication. Leatherman lost his life during the deadly storms that devastated London and Laurel County throughout the night of Friday, May 16, and early Saturday morning of May 17. As severe weather tore through the area, Leatherman died protecting his wife, Michelle, who survived the storm. His final act was one of courage — shielding another from harm, just as he had done his entire career. 'Les has spent his adult life dedicated to public service,' stated Brandon Prewitt, Whitley County Police Chief and E-911 Director. 'From his fire training, his time in an ambulance, or most of his time behind the radio for the first responders — if you were out in the field, no matter if it was police, fire, or EMS, Les is the one you would want to be sitting in the chair behind the radio.' Those who worked alongside Leatherman saw his compassion firsthand. He was the kind of colleague who didn't wait to be asked−he showed up, stepped in, and supported his fellow responders in every way possible. Prewitt continued by expressing how great Leatherman truly was at his job, and how his dedication and heartfelt attitude would never leave the dispatch. 'Les's heart was and will always be in the radio room of a dispatch center, and you could sure tell it,' Prewitt stated. 'He was the best example of a great dispatch.' Whitley County Judge Executive Pat White Jr. called Leatherman a 'devoted and knowledgeable dispatcher and Assistant Director,' and said he was remembered by many as 'the calm voice on the other end of the phone.' 'Les spent his life in public service. He dedicated nearly all of his adult life to serving others,' White said. 'He was a tremendous asset to Whitley County E-911. Les was instrumental in training our employees at the dispatch center and was a fine person who will be very missed.' Through every call answered and every life helped, Maj. Leslie Leatherman left a mark on his community that will certainly not be forgotten. The impact of his service remains woven into the fabric of southeastern Kentucky's emergency response system. The echo of his calm voice mentioned by White, the memory of his bravery touched on by Prewitt−these examples he set will continue to guide and inspire those who serve after him. As the region mourns his loss, Maj. Leatherman will be honored not only for how he served, but for the way he lived — with courage, humility, and an enduring commitment to protecting others.
