Choosing The Right Pocket Knife
April 12, 2011
By Paul Westphalen:
When you go camping a great pocket knife can be a necessary piece of equipment. When choosing a pocket knife, remember you get what you pay for. You need to ensure it’s made of high quality steel that can hold a sharp edge.
Case, Gerber, Kershaw, SOG etc are all high quality knives that can hold a sharp edge. Remember, these pocket knives are not always used for cutting; they are great for removing splinters or thorns. They can also be useful for opening bottles.
Once you get your pocket knife for camping, you will want to always be sure it’s clean, sharp and used with caution. The blade will become dull over time, and if it doesn’t get sharpened the knife can become dangerous.
A dull blade will slide from the pressure from trying to cut which can end up causing you to cut in the wrong area or even cause injury because it is unpredictable. Make sure to learn how to sharpen your pocket knife blade so you can alleviate these problems.
