Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the advantage of a clip point blade over other blade shapes?
A clip point blade combines a sharp, controllable tip with a strong cutting edge. The clipped section creates a finer point than a drop point while maintaining more blade strength than a needle point. This makes it versatile for both precision tasks and general cutting.
How does assisted opening work on folding knives?
Assisted opening uses a spring mechanism that engages once you start opening the blade manually. You initiate the opening with thumb pressure on the blade stud, and the spring takes over to complete the deployment. This allows reliable one-handed opening while keeping the knife legally compliant in most areas.
What steel type should I look for in an EDC folding knife?
3Cr13 steel offers the best balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and affordability for daily carry. It’s easy to sharpen, holds an edge through normal use, and resists rust better than carbon steels. Higher-end steels exist, but 3Cr13 handles most EDC tasks without the premium cost.
