Best Folding Knives
Choosing the best folding knives
Finding the best folding knives can be a big challenge. There are so many brands to chose from, literally thousands. So what is the best folding knife brands?
Many people tend to go with the "mainstream" brands when choosing a knife. Sadly, this is not the best way to pick out the best pocket knives. Many of those mainstream companies have taken advantage of their customers and started to produce poor quality products, with a big name on it. It's smart in a business practice, because once that name has been established - people will continue to buy them. A good example of this is "Buck". They did have good quality/priced knives, but now after they achieved their fame are starting to sell China made products with poor quality.

- Brand
- Where it was made
- Steel used to make it
- Fit
- Finish
- Warranty
