Pocket knife, folding knife or pen knife

The main difference between the terms pocket knife, folding knife or pen knife are not always clear. These terms all refer to foldable knives. Knives that are called folding knives generally have a fancy feel to them, and pen knives are usually on the smaller side. To make a clearer distinction, Knivesandtools works with a different classification. We distinguish between gentleman's knives, EDC knives, Swiss pocket knives, hunting knives, children's pocket knives, tactical pocket knives and multi-tools. What they all have in common is that they're foldable pocket knives. As such, you can comfortably carry them with you in your pocket.

Gentleman's knife

Gentleman's knives are beautiful, classic knives. For example, gentleman's knives from Fontenill Pataud are sleek and elegant. EDC knives are functional knives that are great to take with you on a daily basis. Hunting pocket knives are sharp and reliable, and popular brands include Buck and Gerber. Tactical pocket knives are versatile and rock-solid knives from, among others, Extrema Ratio, Zero Tolerance and SOG. These are extraordinary pocket knives for professional use. They are incredibly sharp and very popular.

Buying exceptional pocket knives

A true collector will have a great time at Knivesandtools. That's because we don't just sell beautiful pocket knives from famous brands, you'll also find pocket knives from lesser-known brands in our range! For example, small knife makers who produce their knives in limited editions. Those pocket knives are truly works of art.

The best prices at Knivesandtools

Due to smart and volume purchasing, we can offer the best quality pocket knives for the lowest prices. We have a staggering amount of pocket knives in our range; we are the largest pocket knife store in Europe. Buy your pocket knife online at Knivesandtools. Do you want to make your knife extra special? You can have your pocket knife engraved.

Different types of pocket knives

Of course, you're looking for the best pocket knife. But which pocket knife is right for you, is very personal, of course. That's why we offer almost every type of pocket knife, in different price ranges.

Outdoor pocket knife: for fishing and hunting

If you like to spend most of your time in nature, a pocket knife will definitely come in handy. Especially when you're hunting or fishing, a knife is a must-have. A knife is also great to have when you're out camping or when you're at the Scouts. This could be a reliable survival knife, but a Swiss army knife would also be perfect.

Large pocket knife or small pocket knife?

If you're looking for a smaller pocket knife, we have just the thing for you. Check out our keychain pocket knives. You'll always have these at your disposal, so they make perfect EDC pocket knives. Looking for a larger pocket knife? You can easily filter on blade length in our product filter. That filter will show you all large pocket knives.

Traditional or classic pocket knife?

It's been said that knives are humanity's oldest tools. Unsurprisingly, you will find a lot of history in the pocket knife world. For example, classic pocket knives, Traditionals, or simply stylish gentleman's knives.

Pocket knives with wooden handles

When you're looking for a classic pocket knife, you'll quickly find yourself browsing through knives with wooden handles. Wooden handles are very stylish, and since wood is a natural material, each knife will have unique markings. Pocket knives with handles made from horn also have that classic feel to them.

Carbon steel and damascus pocket knives

Nowadays, all kinds of high-tech modern steels are readily available. Böhler M390 steel is currently the most popular steel on the market. You often see this type of steel in combination with titanium handles. Very modern! Classic types of steel have not gone out of fashion, however. For example, carbon steel and damascus steel are still popular choices for pocket knives.

Pocket knife with flipper: opening your blade with one hand

You will also find pocket knives that you can easily open with a flipper. Super practical when you only have one hand free during chores. Of course, it is also nice if your pocket knife stays open while you're using it. That is why pocket knives with locks are very popular, for example: liner locks or back locks.

Multi-tool pocket knife for DIY

When you're working in your shed, you'll need some tools, of course. Tools are an essential part of DIY, of course! That's why a multi-tool pocket knife is the perfect choice when you love to tinker. Both for hobby DIYers and for professionals. For example, we've been reliably informed that multi-tools are indispensable to electricians.

UK knife laws

In principle, we only sell knives that you are permitted to own in the United Kingdom. So purchasing any of the knives on our website is allowed. Whether you are allowed to carry the knife in public is a different story.

UK knife law allows you to carry non-locking pocket knives with a blade length up to 3 inches (7.62 cm) without any need for a valid reason.

You are allowed to carry a knife which exceeds these guidelines in public, but please remember: you then do need a good reason to carry it. Read more about UK knife laws here.
