The 4 Most Popular Types of Pocket Knives


Typically, a pocket knife is also known as a folding knife which is constructed in a way that its blade is folded inside the knife’s handle. Folding knives are known as pocket knives due to the fact that these are compact in size and can be carried easily inside the pockets. Pocket knives are basically folding knives that can be used for lots of purposes i.e. they can help you in cutting vegetables and fruit, cut rope or open packages. In this article, I will explain the major and minor differences between 4 types of knives: traditional pocket knives, spring assisted knives, lock back pocket knives, and pocket knives with a linear locking.

Types of Pocket Knives
The following are the four most popular and common types of pocket knives. Let us have a look at them in detail.

1- Traditional Pocket Knives
The typical length of traditional pocket knives is three to five inches; whereas, the knives comprise more than 2 blades which are used for various purposes. However, depending on the kind and category, there are also some knives that have more than one blade and are longer than five inches. Traditional pocket knives also known as slip joints; use a spring device between the handles which assist in holding the blade of the knife open.

2- Pocket Knives with a Linear Locking
Typically, there is a leaf cut out of the linear lock which acts as the knife’s spring. If the blade is in an opening position, this particular leaf springs up in front of the blade’s bottom, while locking it (the blade) into a secure place. The knife’s liner is the source for holding the knife’s blade open. This is the reason that this pocket knife is known as the ‘linear lock’.  The best thing about pocket knives with linear locking is that these are safe from casual and incidental closings.

3- Lock Back Pocket Knives
Similar to the traditional pocket knives, a lock back pocket knife comprises of a spring device which assists in holding the knife’s blade open. Yet, this knife differs in the aspect that there is a hook made in its spring. Also, the knife’s blade has a notch in it. If the lock back pocket knife is fully open the spring’s hook and the notch line up which makes the blade get locked in its pace.

4- Spring Assisted Knives
As indicated by the name of these blades, spring assisted knives to comprise of a mechanism in which the blade is sprung open after a certain resistance is overcome by the operator of this knife. Many people, mistakenly, confuse these knives with switchblades; whereas, the blades of spring assisted knives, generally, do not shoot out of the front. Rather, they open/slide out of the side of the knife’s handle.
The above-mentioned pocket knives are the most common ones that you will find in the market at very affordable rates. So, what are you waiting for? Grab one for yourself as soon as possible and get your hands on the best EDC tools.
