Best Folding Knives. Top 5.

 

 A folding knife is a convenient tool for daily use. Even for a city dweller, it can be useful during the day – open boxes and packages, cut off a piece of something delicious during a snack. A pocket knife has been a human companion for two thousand years. With a blade length of less than 15 cm and with one-sided sharpening - in most countries folding knives are not considered as a cold weapon. You can always buy a high-quality folding knife in MyGoodKnife online-shop. We are constantly updating the range and the rating of the best-selling models is constantly changing. But some pocket knives are in constant demand.

1. Buck 112 Ranger is the smaller brother of the equally popular Buck 110 Folding Hunter. With a blade length of 7.6 cm, the Buck 112 is lighter and more compact. The story of its appearance began, of course, with the Buck 110, which was the companion of many sailors of the US Navy. One day, a couple of sailors got into a fight, and the 110 Folding Hunter was used. As a result, the captain issued a decree according to which knives could not have a blade length of a certain size. The 110 model turned out to be too long, so Buck Knives took the initiative and created the Ranger, a smaller version of the 110 model. The Buck 112 Ranger blade is made of 420HC steel with a hardness of 58 HRC. The handle has ebony scales and brass bolsters. The Buck 112 Ranger comes with a leather sheath included. This folding knife weighs 175 g. There is also an automatic version - Buck 112 Ranger Auto and lightweight Slim models.

2. Cold Steel Ti-Lite. This model is available in two sizes: with a blade of 4 and 6 inches, i.e. 10.1 and 15.2 cm. Despite its dangerous appearance, the Ti-Lite has a one-sided sharpening, therefore it is not a stiletto and does not violate the laws of many countries. Both sizes of Cold Steel Ti-Lite are always in demand in our store. Cold Steel Ti-Lite knives can be opened with the flipper or the thumb stud. Like all Cold Steel knives, Ti-Lite models are very strong and reliable, suitable for any, even heavy tasks. The Cold Steel Ti-Lite knife is equipped with a pocket clip. This model is available with handles made of aluminum and polymer. Ti-Lite blades are made of AUS8, S35VN steels. So, you can choose the appropriate option - cheaper or more expensive, depending on the materials. There is also an unusual version – Ti-Lite Kris with a wavy blade. The functionality of such knife is questionable, but it will be an excellent example of knife collection.

5. Extrema Ratio Caimano Nero. Absolutely all Extrema Ratio knives meet the highest standards and are therefore always popular, despite the rather high price. Those who buy these knives know for sure that they paid for a super high-quality folding knife. One of the most popular models, the Caimano Nero, is available in two versions – automatic and non-automatic. The name of the knife is a reference to the Caimani Neri del Piave ("Black Caimans of the Piave River"), a unit of the Royal Italian Navy that raided enemy territory during the First World War. The spearpoint shaped blade is extracted using a thumb or flipper. The automatic version opens with a button and is equipped with an additional lock that prevents accidental opening of the knife. Extrema Ratio Caimano Nero is a part of equipment of G.O.I., Gruppo Operativo Incursori (Operational Raiders Group) Italian Navy. The 93 mm long blade is made of N690 steel and has a partially serrated sharpening and sharped tip. The knife has a glass braker on the handle. Although the Caimano Nero certainly does not belong to EDC knives, however, its quality, reliability and ability to help in an extreme situation makes it a hit of sales.
