Cool Pocket Knives

Pocket knives have emerged as the most advantageous and multi-features knives. Gone are the days when we had massive knives that were difficult to carry.

In this smart world, things are becoming smart, so do the cool knives.


People like small sized pocket knives because they are easy to carry and hence they are able to do their routine cutting work easily.

Though there are many features that these knives possess. However, I would like to talk specifically about five brilliant features that I like about these knives.


Following are those five features:

1. Foldable Blade

The most appreciated feature of a pocket knife is its foldable blade. A few decades ago, who would have thought about a knife that could be folded and carried in the pocket.

But, it has happened today. Now we have a knife that can be folded and kept in the pocket. Most importantly, there is no need of a sheath to cover the blade.


The blade can be folded inside the handle and then locked. Similarly, you can open it whenever you want.

There are two ways to open the blade, either by some assistance with your hand or by pushing a button.

2. Locking Mechanism

The second significant feature that I like in the pocket knives is the safety lock. These knives feature powerful locking mechanisms that make sure that the blade is locked when opened or folded.

When the blade is folded inside the handle, the safety lock ensures that the blade does not move unless the user wants.

It prevents it from opening itself. Similarly, when the blade is opened, the safety lock prevents it from folding itself.

3. Switchblade Option

Since there are two opening mechanisms of pocket knives, I like the switchblade option i-e the push button.

I hate the spring opening mechanism which causes a little delay in the opening of the blade. Switchblade opens quickly and is more reliable.


As I push the button, the blade opens quickly.

4. Seat Belt Cutter

Another key feature of a pocket knife that I specifically like is the seat belt cutter. This is not present in all sorts of knives, but is available in most of them.

However, I suggest to add this feature in all versions of this knife. This is helpful in emergency situations where I need to cut the seat belt to get out of the car.

5. Bottle Opener

This is another additional feature of pocket knives. This is also not present in many knives, but it is extremely useful.

You can use it for opening bottles and cans. If not, you can even use its blade for doing so, but this will be damaging to the blade.


Anyways, these are the five features I like in these knives!
