The traditional pocketknife has changed immensely 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 pocketknives--both practical and tactical versions--and answers many questions, including - How are modern pocketknives constructed? - How do the different locks work? - When makes a blade cut well--and what doesn't? - What are the advantages and disadvantages of different handle materials? - How do different opening mechanisms work? - What are the advantages and disadvantages of various clips? There is a chapter devoted to safely using your folding knives and a special section on the legal ramifications of carrying and using pocketknives in different areas of the world. For every current or aspiring knife collector--or anyone with an appreciation of the artistry of modern folding knives--this book contains everything you'll ever want to know.
