Buying A Folding Knife
Deciding to purchase a folding knife dictates that one must review all the different characteristic that are offered
. Much like getting that new car, one must do their part in doing the research to get the right one. Blade characteristics, handle composite, and overall configurations must be looked at by the purchaser and deemed appropriate for the purchase of the knife.
You did it, you are going to get that new knife. It could be for self protection, the fall hunting trip, or fishing. Its a important decision. Its important cause that new knife will be asked to complete some pretty tough duties. Get the incorrect knife for the job and your task has now become much tougher than originally intended. So there are three qualities that need to be addressed by you when making your decision.
1. Yes you have to be concerned with what the actual blade is made of. Not all blades are equal and their quality will range greatly. Today's knives can be made from a variety of new material, but the best is still the steel versions. If possible get the premium grade stainless steel versions. You find these more on custom knives but they are worth it. The steel tends to be much tougher and does not loose its edge as fast. The drawback is that sharpening the blade becomes much harder with this type of knife, but still the best choice.
2. Another important thing to look at is the housing unit or the storage compartment that the folding knife actually folds into. This can also greatly vary depending on the knife. Such material as plastics, composites, and metal are often used. Now what is best depends on the user. There is not right or wrong answer as long as buyer address concerns such as weight, water resistance, and slip proof features.
3. Finally one must look at how the blade is shaped and its length. Different styles and configurations have to be looked at. Remember that the pretty or cool blade might not be the best blade for the job that you are asking it to do. As all these new, fancy knives hit the market, I suggest that is it best to pick the tried and true configuration as it is time tested. Also make sure your blade is the right size for the job you need.
In conclusion, if one were to take all the above into consideration and do their homework then they will come away with the right folding knife for the right job. It might cost a little more than you hoped for, but you get what you pay for in the world of knives. It is best to get a quality product that will be there for you for many years to come than scrimp and have to just replace it.
