Fixed blades are ideal for tough jobs. FOLDING KNIFE Folding knives benefit from the convenience of the blade folding into the handle. There are several configurations to choose from. POCKET KNIFE A classic design that is still very popular because of the small size and light weight. Pocket knives are sought after for their practical use and versatility. LOCKBACK KNIFE Lockback knives have the best of both worlds; the durability of a fixed blade combined with the convenience of a folding knife. A lockback blade locks into place when open and requires a manual release to fold back into the handle. LINER LOCKER A liner lock acts like a lockback knife you can open with one hand. A thumb stud or hole opens the blade and locks it into place.
