Folding & Pocket Knives

What are Folding Pocket Knives?

A folding pocket knife is a small, usually palm-sized tool with one or more blades that can be folded into the knife's handle. They are incredibly versatile and come in many shapes and sizes, making them ideal for various purposes ranging from camping trips to every day use. The most common type of folding pocket knife features a locking mechanism which allows you to open and close the blade with one hand using the thumb hole, thumb stud, or back flipper.

Benchmade specializes in high-end manual openers made from top-of-the-line materials such as titanium, Damascus steel and S30V stainless steel. Kershaw manufactures a range of budget-friendly folders and some higher-end models constructed from premium materials like carbon fibre, G10 handles and Vanadium blades.

Types of Folding Pocket Knives

Folding pocket knives come in many different styles and designs, such as tactical folders, rescue knives, multi-tools and EDC (everyday carry) knives. Tactical folders are designed primarily with aggressive blade designs and rugged handles to withstand extreme conditions. At the same time, rescue knives feature serrated edges that make cutting through rope or fabric more effortless than ever before. On the other hand, multi-tools combine multiple tools into one convenient package, while EDC knives provide superior value when it comes to convenience without sacrificing performance.
