Some models also feature a reinforced bolster and extra safety mechanisms.
How to choose your folding knife
To get it right, start from the intended use: a lightweight EDC folding knife for the city, a tougher hunting knife for the field or a collector's piece for display. Weigh up the blade length, the locking system and the handle material depending on whether you want lightness, a secure grip in wet conditions or an eye-catching finish. A wood like olive adds warmth; Micarta and G10 bring technical durability.
