Kershaw Gravel Folding Knife

Kershaw Gravel folding knife with 64 mm blade length and black steel handle

Folding Blade Knives, also known as pocket knives, are hikers' favorite accessories. Equipped with a sharp and pointed blade, they can overcome all obstacles, even the toughest branches. This type of knife is characterized by a folding structure where the blade fits into the handle. It can be unfolded using an opening mechanism that may be specific to each model. The most common is the nail nick, a notch on the blade. There's also the thumb stud, a small button that allows for easy deployment.
Folding blade knives come in a wide range of models, and the pocket knife is part of this category. They stand out for their hollow, double-ended handle where the blade is housed. In terms of design, the handle of folding blade knives can be made of wood or synthetic material.
