Unraveling the Differences in Folding Blade and Fixed Blade Knives

Whether you are choosing a quality folding blade or fixed blade knife for hunting, fishing, work or just to have handy in case of emergency, there are literally hundreds of choices available. Today's folding blade tactical knives come in all forms and shapes-- many have titanium blades, easy grip handles, and self-assisted opening, a great feature allowing you to open the knife with one hand.

Except during hunting season you don't often see people carrying around fixed blade knives in public. You will see more folding blade knives in leather belt pouches and thanks to today's methods of heat treating and blade technology, longer is not necessarily better than shorter. There are so many high quality folding blade knives being made that every individual has the same choice in knives as today's military or police. Folding blade tactical knives are also good for protection and in just about any outdoor situation for which a knife is necessary. Most folding blade knives have some type of scaled steel grip which makes them easy to handle.

For day to day use, you still can't beat a good pocket knife, and today you can get them with so many attachments that it'll take you a year to figure out what each one does. Victorinox pocket knifes, having been around for over a hundred years, sets the standard in Swiss Army knifes, not just for excellence in workmanship but also for their ability to introduce new knives with more and more attachments each year.

Some Victorinox folding blade pocket knives come with up to 40 attachments, which include the standard large and small blade, plus a corkscrew, can opener, small screwdriver, cap lifter, screwdriver, wire stripper, reamer-punch, key ring, tweezers, toothpick, scissors, multi-purpose hook, wood saw, fish scaler, hook disgorger, ruler, nail file, metal file, nail cleaner, metal saw, fine screwdriver, chisel, pliers, wire cutters, wire crimping tool, Phillips screwdriver, magnifying glass, pen, pin, mini-screwdriver, sewing eye, etc. You can choose Victorinox folding blade knives with just about any variation of attachments you desire.

You can still get a classic folding blade pocket knife with only a large and small blade. These can be used for just about any inside or outdoor activity for which a knife is needed. You can also go beyond even the multi-attachment folding blade pocket knives to buy a multi-use pocket tool which has even more uses.

If you want a fixed blade knife, there is no lack of these available, and they come made with all of the same high-tech materials as the tactical folding blade knives--titanium, black oxide finish, blades that are both straight and serrated depending on what you need to cut, and ergonomic handles that are comfortable in your hand.

No matter which you prefer, a fixed blade knife or a folding blade knife, you can get a lot for your money with today's more sophisticated materials and designs. And there is no lack of quality knife manufacturers, whether you choose Browning, Cold Steel, Columbia River, Gerber Blades, Ka-Bar, Victorinox, Leupold, SOG, Winchester or several others, you will be getting a high quality folding blade or fixed blade knife, which taken care of, should last you a lifetime.
