Best Pocket Knife

[TexZ71]

Some of the case knives do lock. I have a single blade that locks that i really like

Yep, I have two different styles of Case knives that lock.

I have 2 outdoor folding knives. One is my EDC.

Anyway, Swiss Army Knives, they're nice. I've got the Rucksack model which has a large locking blade and a saw amongst things. It's not UK EDC (every day carry) legal because of the lock and length of the blade. However I'm 31 and have no cautions or convictions so I'll keep it my rucksack for day to day stuff and take my chances. Depending on the copper there should be no problems.

I also like the French made Opinel https://mechanicguides.com/best-pock...for-whittling/ Available in carbon or stainless and in many different sizes. They lock with a twist of a metal collar. They're very good with wood or food. Tried and tested over many years and of high quality. They do the job for me, plus they're very cheap. Even though this is "old world" looking I don't EDC it. The SAK is far friendlier for a street Copper due to the tools on it.

Apart from the SAK I'm moving away from military knives for general work.
I certainly don't need thumb studs or serrated edges.

If you want military looking knives no problems though.
Life is short, carry the knife(s) you like, not the knives that I like.

One question, would you need a folding knife for the outdoors if you've got a 4inch fixed blade?

The best pocket knife is one that you will actually carry all the time and not leave sitting on the table because it’s too big. Some of these knives I see some guys carrying are huge. I gut/skin deer with smaller knives than what they call a “pocket knife”. I hate things in my pockets. My phone and a debit card is usually all I have in my pockets. I lock my keys in my truck so I don’t have to carry them (Ford with the door key pad). I found a very slim profiled Benchmade 940 that I don’t mind carrying at all. It’s very light. Has a nice clip. My Dad was a Case Knives guy. I still have them all, a nice collection, but I can’t take something like that loose in my pocket. It has to have a clip on it.

Another vote for the Opinel, I have one with Olive wood. Sturdy, light, and inexpensive. So light you can kinda forget it’s in your pocket.
