Folding Knife Guide
Best Folding Knives
Folding knives are the core everyday carry category: pocket-friendly, practical, collectible, and useful for work, outdoors, and daily tasks.
How to Choose a Folding Knife
Start with use. For work and daily carry, choose something pocket-friendly with a dependable lock. For collecting, look at handle materials, brand, pattern, and finish.
- Everyday carry: linerlocks, lockbacks, assisted openers, and compact folders.
- Collectors: traditional folders, Case patterns, Rough Ryder, and special handle materials.
- Gifts: choose useful size and simple style over something too extreme.
