The high carbon content and heat treatment makes these superior characteristics.

The chrome content provides excellent corrosion and stain resistance. This does make it a little more expensive than those made of cheap metals, you do get what you pay for.

A folding knife has a blade that one can move between open and closed with one hand. A blade is connected by a fixed pivot pin to a casing which has two handles or cover pieces which provide a casing with a space for receiving the blade in the closed position. A substantially V-shaped slot extends through one of the cover pieces in close proximity and partially surrounding relation to the pivot pin. Folding knives make a great gift.

History:

Folding knives have been around for a VERY long time! We are talking since the 1600's. Some were seen in Roman history. Not all folding knives are known as Western folding knives. Western folding knives usually have brown handles and blades with only one sharp side that are as long as five inches when folded out. A Western folding knife's blade will lock into place. They look like oversized pocket knives.

Design:

A One Handed Opening Folding Knife is convenient because it fits into your pocket, therefore you won't have a knife sheath to hang off your belt which is a nice feature. Folding knives have a lock back spring which has been in use for over a century. It makes the knife fold so you can put it in your pocket. It also uses it like a straight knife when it's open.

You can rest assured that your folding knife will never open by itself in your pocket. Lock back springs like those on folding knives operate vertically, and snap into a cutout in the tang of the blade. When you press the spring on the back of the knife handle, you can release the lock on your folding knife. It's secure so, a folding knife's lock back spring normally requires two hands to operate.

Caring for your Folding Knife:

One Handed Opening Folding Knives, just like any knife, need to be taken care of. The blade of your folding knife should always have a thin layer of oil on it to repel water and humidity. The blade of your folding knife, needs a lot more care than the outside. The blade and spring should be regularly oiled and wiped clean. Depending on the material the handle of your folding knife is made of, you may want to polish or just clean it. If you use your folding knife for hunting, you should clean it after every use. If you sharpen your folder, you should do so every time it is cleaned. Keep it away from moisture when you're not using it.
