Buy pocket knives from top brands

What do you use a pocket knife for?

Despite the fact that more and more people are buying a pocket knife, not everyone sees the usefulness of such a knife. This is mainly because not everyone knows what you can use such a knife for. For example, it is often thought that a pocket knife is only suitable for use in nature. If you survive or camp you will indeed benefit from such a knife. A pocket knife comes in handy here, for example, for preparing food.

What many people do not know is that a pocket knife also comes in handy in everyday life. Even if you have an office job, buying a pocket knife is worth considering. Why? Because you can use this knife for different purposes here. For example, you can use it to open packaging in no time. Many people use scissors for this, but with a pocket knife you open a package faster and easier.

Finally, a pocket knife offers a solution in various emergency situations. For example, you can use the knife to free someone from his or her car after a car accident. With such a knife in your pocket you can easily and quickly cut through a seat belt. In addition, a pocket knife is useful for providing first aid. For example, you can use it to cut open the clothing of an injured person to treat him or her. Do you have to make a connection? Even then a pocket knife offers a solution. With this knife you can cut the bandage to size in no time.

Points to consider when buying a pocket knife

Buying a pocket knife is easier said than done. This is mainly due to the large selection. Also with DailyGear you can buy all kinds of different pocket knives. Some people choose a pocket knife at random, but this is not recommended. Why not? Because then you may regret your choice. For example, you can buy a pocket knife of lesser quality. To prevent this, look at the blade and the handle, among other things. Below we explain both points of attention.

Blade

The most important part of a pocket knife is the blade. This is the name for the part with which you cut. Because a blade often has the same appearance, many people think that there are no differences. Yet this is indeed the case. Different types of steel are used for the manufacture of pocket knives. Curious which types of steel are used? We list a number of popular types of steel below.

• CPM S30V: is known for its high edge retention and good corrosion resistance. Moreover, this type of steel is relatively easy to sharpen;
• CPM S35VN: the successor to CPM S30V. At first glance, the differences are difficult to detect, but this becomes clear under the microscope. CPM S35VN steel is in fact tougher than its predecessor;
• CPM M390: Widely used for its edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. CPM M390 is difficult to sharpen;
• CPM 154: excellent steel for Everyday Carry (EDC). The edge retention, corrosion resistance and toughness of CPM 154 is above average. In addition, you can easily sharpen this steel;
• CTSXHP: scores well in the area of ​​edge preservation. The corrosion resistance and toughness of this steel are also above average. In addition, CTS XHP is relatively easy to sharpen;
• VG-10: has a high corrosion resistance and is also easy to sharpen yourself. This type of steel also scores well in the area of ​​edge retention;
• H1: very stainless steel. Won't rust even if you leave it in salt water. H1 steel is also known for its toughness and is easy to sharpen. The edge retention of this type of steel is less good, but becomes stronger and better with time through use and grinding.

Handle

Many people only look at the blade when they buy a pocket knife. This is the most important part of a pocket knife, but we still recommend that you look further. The handle also plays an important role. Just as for the blade, the handles of pocket knives are also made of different materials. Here we list a number of popular materials from which handles are made today.

• My letter: popular material that is increasingly used to make a handle for pocket knives. Canvas and epoxy are used for the production of Micarta. This is compressed under high pressure, creating a high-quality material. The great thing about Micarta is that it is available in many different colors. If the blade is used frequently, the handle may darken over time;
• G10: material made of fiberglass fabric and epoxy. This makes it not only strong, but also resistant to chemicals. As with Micarta, G10 is also available in different colours. In addition, this material can be made in almost any desired shape. Due to the large number of options, G10 handles are now available in all kinds of variants;
• FRN: a glass fiber reinforced plastic. To manufacture this material, glass fibers are soaked in polyester resin. The result of this is that a solid material is created. Moreover, because glass fibers are incorporated, FRN is particularly light. Finally, the material is resistant to varying external influences. A pocket knife with FRN handle will therefore last a long time;
• Titanium: material known for its high corrosion resistance. If we compare it to steel, titanium is almost as strong. However, it is a lot lighter. Do you choose a pocket knife with a titanium handle? Then you don't have to carry a heavy knife with you. An additional advantage of this material is that it can withstand salt water, so that a pocket knife with a titanium handle will not rust quickly. In addition, a pocket knife with a titanium handle has a long life.

Buy a pocket knife for EDC

Most people who buy a pocket knife plan to carry the knife with them on a daily basis. Are you planning this too? Then we recommend that you buy a pocket knife that is suitable for Everyday Carry (EDC). This means nothing more than that the knife is suitable for daily use. For example, you can use it to prepare food, but also to open letters or packages.

Some people think that every pocket knife is suitable for Everyday Carry, but that is not the case. Before we label a pocket knife as an EDC, it must meet various requirements. After all, a pocket knife that you want to carry with you every day should not be too heavy. In addition, you should be able to store it easily and quickly and the knife should not have too large dimensions.

Do you want to buy an EDC pocket knife? Then we recommend that you choose a collapsible pocket knife. You can store the blade of such a knife in the handle when you're not using the knife. When you fold the knife, it is relatively small in size. This makes it easy to carry it with you. Moreover, such a knife is safe to use. Because the blade is stored in the handle, the risk of injury is minimal when you take the knife out of your pocket.

What does a pocket knife cost?

In the range of DailyGear you will come across a large number of pocket knives. In addition to the difference in appearance, our pocket knives also differ in price. You can buy a pocket knife from us for a few tens, but we also sell pocket knives for a few hundred euros. This allows you to make it as expensive as you want. Don't have a lot of money to spend? Then choose a cheap pocket knife. If you have a little more to spend, it's better to buy a more expensive pocket knife.

Buying a cheap pocket knife is interesting, but it is not always the best choice. Why not? Because the quality of such a pocket knife is often less than the quality of a more expensive one. It is therefore not wise to be guided too much by the price. Rather focus on the material used for the production of the knife. For example, look at the steel type of the blade. If you focus on such things, you will succeed in buying a quality pocket knife. Such a pocket knife also lasts for years, so you don't have to look for a new one again.
