Will you be in a dilemma when choosing a military knife? Do you know the characteristics of each military knife? As a layman, it is really difficult to choose. Today we will introduce some of the advantages and disadvantages of these tools for you to understand.

Pocket Knife and victorinox knife : Some Pros and Cons

The pocket knife’s blade is made of high-quality steel. If you’re looking to carry one just for cutting purposes, then this tool will be good for you, we recommend the Spyderco ParaMilitary 2. If you need a heavy-duty blade, however, you may not want to use the Swiss Army knife as its blades are much smaller and slower to use.

Depending on state laws, you can carry a pocket knife for self-defense. Because it can be operated with one hand, it would be quicker to use as a weapon unlike the SAK, where you have to pull out each tool with your fingernail. On the other hand, Swiss Army Knives combine different tools in addition to a blade. While you may not need the Giant and its 87 tools, SAKs are ideal if you’re looking for compact versatility (speaking of which, Victorinox has also come up with knives that have USB devices and even an mp3 player).

There are pocket knives that could cut seat belts and break glass for rescue purposes. But multi-tools like the Victorinox Rescue Tool would be a better choice to carry if it’s part of your work to be prepared for emergency situations. Tools like a Philips screwdriver and illuminated handle give you a complete kit for a rescue operation and would be easier to use than if you had a knife with limited function. Consider your budget since SAKs are generally a bit more expensive compared to pocket knives of good quality.

A pocket knife with a locking option may be more stable than a non-locking SAK, but the downward cutting motion should keep the blade in place. If safety is your concern, any sharp or pointy object requires you to have knowledge, be aware, and take caution when using it whether it’s locking or non-locking.

Locking mechanism

Double-lined locking system for Soldatemesser 08 and various other Victorinox 111 mm models

Some Swiss Army knives have locking blades to prevent accidental closing. Wenger is the first company to provide “PackLock” for several standard 85mm main blades. The locking blades of several large Wenger and Victorinox models are fixed by sliding locks and operated by unlocking buttons integrated in the scale. Some Victorinox 111 mm series knives have double lined locks to hold the cutting blade and a large flat-blade screwdriver/cap opener/wire stripper combination tool designed for prying.

Great design

The most important thing about the fact that Swiss Army Knives packs so many useful tools into a small, convenient package is how they work. Look at the Swiss Army Knife-which model does not matter-look at all of us. Part of the advantage of the Swiss Army Knife is the clever integration of these tools into such a simple package. They don’t look bulky, they won’t be uncomfortable or unsightly in your hand, and even the most appropriate choice is not ridiculous, which shows something. Many “tools” designed for outdoor people arouse laughter, because they try to include so many useful tools in one package is completely absurd. The fact is that most people doing outdoor activities use knives, axes, and perhaps saws to make do with it.

The Swiss Army Knife is very simple. Most models are rigidly small, humble and diamond-shaped. They pack all these great tools into a compact package, and even if it provides so many indispensable utilities, it will not seem ridiculous. Not only do they look unpleasant, but they are also very comfortable to hold in the hand. The classic diamond shape has a comfortable grip when closed or opened, and is very easy to operate. In addition, the design of most (if not all) models lack sharp corners and edges. The result is not only a comfortable grip, but nothing will get caught in your hand or cause discomfort. As if that is not enough, the number of designs there makes it easy to accurately obtain the variant or pattern you are looking for.
