The best pocket knife for a person depends upon what kind of utility the person is looking for out of the knife. There are many knife brands in the world, and every brand makes excellent types of pocket knives. There are Kershaw knives which are very affordable, and there are Victorinox multi-utility beautifully-designed knives too. However, the basic question to ask is what kind of knife you need, and what is the best knife among them. Here are some pointers that will help you…
Shopping Tips
First of all think what kind of utility you are looking for. Are you looking for a simple folding knife, which you are going to be using only as a knife? Or do you want additional features in it? Are you looking for a set of features in your knife, that you will be needing? Also, are you looking for some special knife blade type? For example, if you want a pocket knife for gardening purpose then choose a knife that comes with a folding knife which has pruning blade, a wire stripper, a wood saw, a reamer, and importantly a large blade.
If you will be using the knife for camping, then consider a folding knife which is loaded with features like two blades, nail filer, scissor, toothpick, and other tools like a magnifier, a compass, thermometer, etc.
Other things you need to keep in mind is what kind of brand the knife is from. Is it a reputed one? Select from the best brands in the world. Also, look for the warranty the knife comes with. Many times one gets lifetime warranty with the blades, sometimes it is limited. Also, check if you are getting a better deal elsewhere. Are you getting some knife sharpening equipment with the knife for a discounted price. Also, for good knife care you will be provided with a quality pouch, which many times has a strap that you can attach to your belt. Here are 5 best pocket knives, that you can consider.
