Multi-Functional Pocket Knives

Yes, a multi-function pocket knife is the perfect everyday carry style because of its versatility. Whether you need to open a package or make some quick repairs around the homestead, a multi-function knife is a trusty companion that will come in handy throughout the day.

With that said, not everyone needs a knife with built-in tools. Some knife enthusiasts prefer the elegant simplicity of a knife with one, two, or three blades. Your personal preferences and unique needs will determine if you should carry a multitool knife or a traditional folding knife.

Most multi-tools can be cleaned just like a traditional pocket knife. After every use, wipe down the blade and tools and dry them thoroughly. 

Perform a deep cleaning whenever you can see grime accumulating or if you notice performance issues, such as gritty action or resistance when opening or closing the blade and/or tools.

In addition to cleaning the blades and tools, knife care also involves sharpening the blades when they get dull, occasionally lubricating the moving parts with knife oil, and conditioning the handle from time to time if it’s made from wood, bone, horn, or other natural materials.

Here are some suggestions: 

• Swiss Army Knives are famous for featuring a large selection of handy tools, such as screwdrivers, nail files, can and bottle openers, and many others. If you prioritize versatility, we recommend the Victorinox Swiss Army Evolution Wood 10 multitool knife.
• Tactical Knives often feature emergency tools, such as rope cutters and window breakers. The TF606WS is a great choice if you need a multi-use tactical knife, and it has a built-in can opener, too.
• Multi-Blade Knives are perfect if you don’t need a full-featured multi-tool pocket knife, but you still want something a little more versatile. For example, the Stockman style features three distinct blade styles that can handle a wide range of tasks.
