The first step in choosing a folding knife is to consider what you’ll use it for most often. Every knife has a different design and function, so choosing the right model depends on your needs. If you plan to use the knife on outdoor expeditions, you’ll likely choose a different type (e.g., the Patron) than if you just need an occasional tool for opening packages or cutting ropes (e.g., the Stovka). And your choice will differ yet again if you’re looking for a knife for self-defense (e.g., Predator), for hunting (e.g., Fixir), or for other specific purposes (military knives, rescue knives, kitchen knives), etc.
