A pocket knife is a perfect assistant that a camper could ask for in the wilderness, especially when it folds and quickly fits in your pocket. It’s a faithful companion that stays put in both good and bad times.<\/p>\n

However, the first step to purchasing a pocket knife is to understand it’s varieties, and that’s precisely what we will be discussing in this article. Take a look below to find the perfect pocket knife for you!<\/p>\n

5 Different Varieties of Pocket Knives You Need Look before buying<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

1. Friction Folder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A unique variety in the pocket knives category, the friction folder uses a no-spring technology to operate. Such a knife is dependent on your hand for movement. From locking to opening, you have to use a little force to make it work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Axis Lock<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Next up is the axis lock knives. Due to their ambidextrous properties, axis lock pocket knives in the UK<\/a> have gained incredible popularity in the market. Since Benchmade knives have patented them, you can buy one only from them. It’s easy to use and surely flaunt-worthy, so get yours soon.<\/p>\n

3. Lock Back<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To operate a lock back knife, you need to use its spring mechanism. The knife is moved back and forth where the spine will engage in a notch in the back of the blade to open. This is a durable variety which comes in several designs, making it a hot-favourite all over Australia.<\/p>\n

4. Multi Tool Knife<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the name suggests, a multi-tool pocket knife makes the perfect knife for camping<\/a> in every sense of the term. Along with the blade, it has several other attachments which can come in quite handy in the wilderness. Such a tool fits perfectly in the pocket and helps with several tasks around the camp.<\/p>\n

5. Frame Lock<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Last but not least, a frame lock has its special place in the pocket knife industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The durable, effective and easy-to-use frame lock mechanism makes it an interesting choice for campers who are more interested in food than other things.<\/p>\n

Such a knife ensures finesses in cutting, chopping and even piercing. It’s available in different designs and surely can be used for several tasks in the woods.<\/p>\n

Let’s face it, making a smart choice with a pocket knife will go a long way. However, the opposite can cost you dearly in the woods. That said, be wise when choosing a knife. After all, it is a man’s true companion in the wilderness. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
