The traditional pocket knife has changed considerably over the last few decades. New technologies and production methods have led to the development of new designs and shapes. This book gives a complete overview of modern pocket knives - both practical and tactical versions - and answers many questions, including: How are modern pocket knives constructed? How do the various locking mechanisms work? When does a blade cut well - and when doesn't it? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different handle materials? How do different opening mechanisms work? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different clips? There is a chapter on the safe use of folding knives and a special section on the legal implications of carrying and using pocket knives in different regions of the world. For any current or aspiring knife collector - or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship of modern folding knives - this book contains everything you could ever want to know.
