The ever-reliable 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.

• How do the different locks work?
• When makes a blade cut well—and what doesn't?
• What do steel designations and related metal properties mean?
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of different handle materials?
• How do different opening mechanisms work?

There is a chapter devoted to safely carrying and using your folding knives. And a special section contains an in-depth discussion of the pros and cons of knife and weapons bans and the legal ramifications of carrying and using pocketknives in different areas of the world.
For every current or aspiring knife collector—or anyone with a keen appreciation of the elegant design and artistry of modern folding knives—this book contains everything you’ll ever want to know.
