We know because we do it ourselves. As well rounded as a knife may be, not all knives can fill every role you need them for. If you know you’re headed out to the wilderness on an extended hike or maybe a longer overloading trip, you may opt for a stronger, thicker-bladed knife. If you’re working in the office, a smaller, discrete folder may be in order. Here we’ll take a look at a wide variety of pocketknives so you can find the best one to fit your needs—whether that’s for everyday use or for the adventure you’re going on. Each one is very capable, but only your mission will dictate which one you should choose.
