Currently, there is a wide range of knives from different manufacturers, differing in their functions, design, size, purpose, materials, etc. Choosing a product for yourself is quite difficult. And if everything is still clear with kitchen blades, then choosing a folding knife is much more difficult. When choosing, there are many important issues to be resolved.

First you need to decide on the functionality, the purpose of the folding knife. They can be either standard, having only a throw-out blade,, or equipped with many additional devices: a corkscrew, a screwdriver, scissors, an awl, pliers and much more. This way, you can avoid having to carry a lot of different tools when you go hiking.

Based on the functionality of the product, there is another question that needs to be addressed when choosing a folding knife. This is the manufacturer's definition. Everyone knows that Swiss knives are of the highest quality, they are multifunctional, reliable, and durable. Very durable and beautiful products are products from the Spanish Navaja. However, they are all distinguished by their high cost, which is not acceptable for everyone.

Lowerknives from Russian and Chinese manufacturers differ in price. They are less functional. Most often they are limited only to the blade without additional devices. But their quality also remains at a high level.

The blade of a folding knife is also of great importance: its sharpening, material, etc. There are various ways to determine the sharpness of a pen, ranging from traditional, known for a long time, to more modern methods. The most valuable metal for a knife is Damascus steel, damask steel, low carbon steel. Swiss blades are made of particularly durable and reliable steel, which once again confirms the undeniably high quality of products.

Distinguish folding knives and the way they open. So, they are divided into lateral, straight, end. You should also choose the most convenient option for you.

Front folding knives can only be automatic, when you press the button, the blade "flies" from the end of the handle, and folds manually, resting it on a hard surface.

The most convenient and common is the side folding knife. The blade in such products can be opened with two hands, and there are such designs in which the blade for the knife unfolds automatically.

There is also a special design of a folding knife - balisongs. Among the people, they have a simpler and more well-known name - a butterfly knife. In this case, the blade itself remains stationary, the handle itself opens, dividing into two halves. Butterfly knife is one of the strongest and most rigid construction of all other types of products.

In general, a folding knife is primarily necessary for tourists, hunters, fishermen and many other people who travel outside the house to nature. In these cases, it is very convenient both to use and to wear, compact, and in some cases multifunctional.
