Folding knives

Modern folding knives are a functional tool with which you can conveniently use a cutting device not only at home, but also outside the office and apartment. Their main feature is compactness, the ability to preserve all the properties inherent in a high-quality blade, and at the same time not look bulky and massive.

Folding knives and their main features
A folding knife is a handy assistant that is used within the city or at home. Its main scope is to perform small household tasks - peeling fruits and vegetables, removing packaging material, cutting food in the office and more. At the same time, a folding knife is taken with them on picnics, fishing or hunting, since the folding model is much more functional and takes up less space than a fixed blade product that does not fit in a pocket.

The designs of folding models differ from fixed ones in the following nuances:
· The presence of a convenient opening mechanism that can allow snapping and snapping with one finger;
· Comfortable lock, which reliably protects against accidental opening of the knife in the process of carrying it in your pocket;
· Lighter design that makes the folding knife lighter and easier to transport;
· Functional handle, which should not only be comfortable, but also have recesses in order to hide the blade inside when folded;
· High-quality materials that will protect the blade and handle from mechanical damage and corrosion;
· Durable clip, which provides comfortable carrying not only in a backpack, but also in a pants pocket;
· The presence of a hole for a paracord or any other mount, which allows you to turn a knife into a keychain.
Folding knives differ from clumsy ones in the presence of a so-called lock. The most commonly used is the Back Lock, which functions with a special rocker located on the back of the knife. Another option is the Liner Lock, in which a steel plate is integrated into the handle and rests against the heel when the blade is opened. And also note the Axis Lock locks, which are distinguished by the presence of pegs, which must be pulled with a finger to remove the fixation from the blade.

Rules for selecting folding knives
In order for pocket knives to serve for a long time and at the same time satisfy their functionality and quality, safety of use, it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances and features of their characteristics when choosing.

When choosing a folding pocket knife, pay attention to:

1. Mechanism: selected according to comfort considerations. Left-handers are better off choosing Axis locks, but products fixed with Back Lock are less prone to breakage and wear.

2. Blade material: carbon is sharper and less likely to need sharpening, but it rusts faster and requires special care. Therefore, choose stainless or powder steel that can withstand high loads.

3. Handle: handle pads provide comfort for holding and using the knife. G10 is used as standard, plastic, rubber, less often - natural wood.

4. Blade shape: the profile of the product indicates how easy and comfortable it will be to use the knife. The best choice is a classic V-shaped blade, or a hook-tipped model if you plan to butcher and gut hides and meats.

When choosing folding knives, consider their dimensional dimensions. Models with short blades up to 6 cm are used for everyday needs - opening packages, cutting ropes, etc. Medium blade sizes (up to 12 cm) are considered universal and are suitable for outdoor recreation, fishing, hunting and tourism.
