Penknives & Leisure Tools

A penknife is among the most flexible and handy tools around. Often called pocketknives considering they can quite literally fit in your pocket, penknives can be used for everything from opening a package and removing staples, to carving and sharpening a pencil. Name a fiddly job requiring a blade, and it's almost certain a penknife can help save the day. Here at Building Materials, we have a range of penknives for sale from some of the world's leading brands, including FatMax, Stanley and Vitrex.
