Which knife should you choose every day?

Choosing a knife on a daily basis is not easy due to the fact that the offer of knives today is huge. You can buy an assembly knife, a survival knife, a folding knife, or a rescue knife. What is the difference between these individual models and how to use them? How to sharpen knives and what steel should they be made of? You will find the answers to all these questions in our short guide. We hope that thanks to us you will never have a problem with choosing the right knife again.

What are the types of knives?

The first and at the same time very popular type is the butterfly knife. It is distinguished by the fact that it can be used both for work and in the form of a melee weapon. This type of knife comes from the Philippines. You can fold it and unfold it very quickly. We recommend this model in particular for those who are looking for a tool that they can use not only on a daily basis, but also during tourist trips. The training butterfly knife, on the other hand, is the type that is used to practice knife fighting and disarming techniques. It is definitely a specialist knife. In this category you can also find models of knives with a fixed head. When using such a knife, you should always wear protective glasses for your own safety. The traditional folding knife is something a bit different. It is made of stainless steel and equipped with a liner-lock lock. Its advantage is undoubtedly its extremely high corrosion resistance. In addition, it is worth mentioning that it very often has a clip for attaching a knife to a leash and is distinguished by its low weight. You can use this type of knife on a daily basis as well as during outdoor trips. We can especially recommend Master Cutlery, because we can vouch for its exceptionally high quality.

Survival knife for work and camping

The survival knife is an exceptionally interesting variety. Its most important feature is that it is suitable for trips. A survival knife will be the perfect choice for you if you are going to the seaside or to the mountains in the near future. Of course, you can also use it for everyday activities such as slicing bread, for example. Survival knives are manufactured, among others, by Master Cutlery, which confirms their high quality.

Which knife to choose for polystyrene?

A styrofoam knife is a completely different type. It is characterized by the fact that it allows very precise cutting of polystyrene boards. Unfortunately, such a knife is classified as a professional tool, which is confirmed, inter alia, by its extremely high price. If you have to cut several polystyrene boards at home, buying a knife for a few hundred zlotys simply misses the point. Any larger and very sharp knife will do well with this task.

How to sharpen knives?

You can use different types of tools to sharpen your everyday knife. You can choose from: traditional sharpening stones, natural sharpening stones, ceramic stones as well as diamond and pocket whetstones. Each of these tools has slightly different properties and you should adjust them to your individual needs. We must point out here that there are currently two major companies on the market. The first is, of course, Hultafors. It will be the optimal choice for everyday, simple activities. However, if you are looking for something more advanced, we can confidently recommend Master Cultery knives.
