How to choose a pocket knife ?
Looking for a sharp knife, easily accessible, usable on multiple occasions and that you could carry everywhere?
You need a folding knife!
Goyon-Chazeau gives you its advices to choose the pocket knife adapted to your needs.
The size
The size of your folding knife will depend on the size of your hand and the use you want to make.
A knife that will be daily used must be comfortable in hand. Indded, if it is too long, too thick, or on the contrary too small or thin, its use can quickly be unpleasant.
Conversely, if the knife has a particular vocation, its size will be related to its use rather than to the comfort of use. Thus a closing knife for hunting will necessarily have a large handle and a knife for handbag will voluntarily be small.
The blade
The choice of steel blade is an important criterion when you buy a knife, whatever it is for.
3 types of steel are generally proposed on folding knives :
- stainless steel : ideal to resist corrosion and moisture.
- carbon steel : softer, this steel offers the most powerful cutting edge but wears quickly.
- damas steel: manual (handmade damas) or chemical (industrial damas or stainless damas) combination of several layers of steel with complementary virtues, it is a steel known for its robustness, its hardness … and its elegance!
The handle material
If handle plays a big rule in aesthetic, unique character and knife ergonomy, it is also the knife part that will reply to your use and solidity needs.
