Pocket Knife Terms

The following are some of the more prevalent terms used by knife lovers when characterizing the primary characteristics and capabilities of a certain pocket knife.

Back

This refers to the unsharpened side of the blade. When the user is tackling a challenging endeavor, this is never present only for the sake of appearance; rather, it serves the primary function of acting as an anchoring point for the user.

Bail

Some knives have a shape on the end of the blade that resembles a half loop. This is known as bail, and it allows the user to tie or clip anything to the knife while carrying it to prevent it from falling by mistake.

Belly

This is the curved portion of a pocket knife blade. On either side, it might be concave, convex, or a mix of the two. The size and shape of the belly of a knife blade typically dictate its effectiveness.

Blade Bevel

This is a fairly common word that refers to the piece of the blade that has been ground away to form the cutting edge of the blade. It normally begins at the knife’s hilt and tapers all the way to the blade tip.

Blade Lock

When utilizing a Klappmesser, this crucial component is utilized to fold or unfold the blade. There are several kinds of blade locks for pocket knives, and each is intended for a particular purpose.

Bolsters

This refers to the metal cover between the knife’s blade and handle. The majority of bolsters are constructed of brass, silver, or stainless steel, and they create a buffer zone that prevents the hand from slipping into the blade’s edge.

Kohlenstoffstahl

This blade is created by blending around 15% carbon and 85% steel to produce a highly strong alloy that is utilized to build some of the strongest blades available. Most knives customized from carbon steel are among the priciest, yet they will survive for generations.

Choil

This side of the pocket knife blade is not sharpened and is placed on the opposite tip of the blade.

Clip Blade

A typical form of the blade is mostly found in the United States. It has a concave curvature that continues from the rear of the blade to its tip. This design makes them suitable for a range of indoor and outdoor chores.

Concave Grind

This grind is generated when the bevel of the blade tapers from the spine all the way to the edge, forming an arch. It is one of the grinds that are easiest to maintain sharp at all times, but its design makes it susceptible to chipping.

Crink

Crink is the material used to cover the lining between the bolsters. It is a structural component that provides the user with a secure hold on the pocket knife’s handle.

Damaststahl

Another general term that might be perplexing to those unfamiliar with blades. This sort of steel is produced by stacking and welding together soft and hard steel to create a single component. This variety in hardness endows the blade’s design with remarkable beauty and flexibility.

Flacher Schliff

This grind is formed when the bevel of the blade tapers off smoothly and uniformly from one end to the other. The majority of pocket knives include a flat grind, which gives the user more control while slicing and stabbing.

Guard

This piece of metal is located at the intersection of the handle and the blade. It is one of the numerous elements of the knife intended to prevent the hand from sliding and coming into contact with the blade.

Hohlschliff

This form of grind is created when the bevel of the blade tapers inwards, arch-fashion, from the spine to the cutting edge. It is typical of double-edged pocket knives and suited for tactical blades.

Schlüsselband

This leather component is fastened to the butt of the knife and is designed for retaining and carrying the knife on the belt. It binds the knife to any area of the body for quick access and to prevent it from dropping.

Liner

This is the portion of a knife’s frame that is located between the blade edge and the handle. Its primary function is to protect the blade during the opening and shutting of the pocket knife.

Retention

This is the blade’s ability to maintain an edge. Sharpening a blade constantly is one of the factors that reduce its durability. Good pocket knives have excellent retention, which means they can be used several times without needing to be sharpened.

Imbissbuden

The more a person’s familiarity with knives, the greater their vocabulary. There are dozens of additional words used to describe the various knife elements and how they function. Check out Shieldons Website for additional information on how pocket knives are created and their numerous uses.
