How to Choose the Right Knife for Your Needs |
| When looking to buy a knife, there are a few things you should consider. There are many kinds of knives and each one serves a specific purpose. Knives come in all price ranges and sizes and it is important to know what you need from a knife before making your purchase. There are six common pocket and folding knives: Multi-Blade Knives- A pocket knife with anywhere between two to one hundred different blades. Pen Knives- A small, compact pocket knife. Inexpensive and useful for the camper or hunter who desires a portable knife that takes up very little room. Advertising Knives- Used mainly as a marketing device to get a company some recognition. They are usually given away to promote the company or product and are printed with the name of the company or product on the handle. Figural Knives- Similar to advertising knives, except that they are typically in the shape of an animal or person. They are intended for promoting something. Character Knives- A combination of an advertising and figural knife. Usually used to market something and are designed with a pop culture theme. They are often "limited editions". Miniature Knives- Smaller than a traditional knife. Can either be used for decoration or collection purposes, though they can also be used to cut as well. Having a few good quality knives will make chopping up all your food a lot easier. Also, make sure you keep them sharp. Sharpen your knives regularly to make the prep work easier and more pleasant.
