What are Pocket Knives?
A pocket knife is a foldable knife designed for easy, one-handed opening and daily carry. Pocket knives commonly include one or more blades that neatly tuck into the handle, allowing them to be easily carried in a pocket, pack, or toolbox. They are made for function and comfort. Pocket knives are versatile tools, the single most preferred resource for creativity among outdoorsmen, hunters, and everyday carry enthusiasts.
Why do I need to carry a pocket knife?
Everyday carry (EDC) pocket knives are generally designed to handle various applications, such as cutting rope, opening packages, camp preparation, or field dressing. The size of an EDC pocket knife is compact and lightweight by design, allowing it to be used daily without adding noticeable bulk.
The advantages of EDC pocket knives include the following:
- Quick one-handed deployment,
- Blade locks that can secure the knife in the open position,
- Robust steel blades that hold an edge and last through a lot of hard use, and
- Comfortable to hold ergonomic grips.
Whether you are backwoods hiking or working on chores at home, an everyday carry pocket knife will keep you prepared to handle the unexpected!
Selecting the Right Pocket Knife
When selecting your pocket knife, consider the following:
- Blade type - straight, serrated, or combo, depending on the type of cutting you will be doing.
- Opening mechanism - manual, assisted, or automatic, depending on how you'll be using it and the legalities of carrying an automatic knife.
- Handle material - wood, G10, aluminum, or other durable weather-resistant materials.
