1. What makes a good Knife ?
People who are interested in purchasing a new knife for themselves should ask
themselves "What makes a good knife?" and do their research to decide just
exactly what sort of knife they will want to get for themselves. Fortunately most
knives have the same basic qualities. Here is what to look for in a good knife.
One of the most important aspects to look into is size. While large knives are great
for action movies and perfect for those who want to start a knife collection to look
at or to use as decorative objects most people who just want a basic knife to use
will do well with just purchasing a smaller size knife they can easily carry with
them in their pocket. These types of knives typically lock into place making them
safe to carry and easy to access. One handy feature to look for is a pocket clip that
makes it easy to secure into place on your clothing.
Next one should look at the size of the blade of the knife. For the usual pocket
knife that one will carry with them they can look for a blade that is as small as 2.5
inches up to 5 or 6 inches. This length is great for enabling the carrier to easily get
their knife out and cut materials without having to worry about extra bulk
weighing them down.
2. The blade type is also an important aspect to look into when trying to find a good
knife. Stainless has long been one of the most favored materials to make a good
blade on a knife. Not only does it get and stay extremely sharp but it is also very
durable and will last you for many years. Stainless is also fairly easy to take care of
only requires the basic sharpening you would do with any knife. Knives also have
different edges to consider. Depending upon what you are using your knife for you
can choose from the popular combo edge, a Teflon coated edge, or just a plain
edge.
The handle of the knife is something that many people do not think about when
they are looking for a good knife. Shoppers can find a plethora of handles to
choose from whether they want a nice rubberized handle that is easy to grip or for
those who want a more decorative handle there are many different designs to
choose from. There is everything from knives with camo patterned handles to
knives with handles in the shapes of motorcycles there is something for every
collector out there.
Lastly price should be taken into consideration. Many stores and web sites try to
overprice their knives but quality knives do not have to cost an arm and leg. For
example at one site a textured aluminum handled knife with a plain edge that
lasts for many years only costs $5.32. If shoppers do their research they will be
pleasantly surprised to see that good knives can also be found at good prices.
