Knives, pocketknives, multitools
Knives, pocketknives, and multitools form a group of tools for cutting and handling small tasks, with differences in the number of functions, size, and construction.
List of products
The Knives, Pocketknives, and Multitools category includes tools focused on blade work as well as multifunctional designs that combine several useful components in one body. Their format affects how they are carried, operated, and the range of tasks they handle best.
Knives, pocketknives, and multitools: different roles
A knife's usefulness centers primarily on its blade. It lets you focus on controlled cutting without adding extra tools to the body. In a folding version, the blade folds into the handle, making the tool shorter when closed than during use. This is a practical format when organization and saving space matter.
A pocketknife retains a pocket-sized, folding format but, depending on its design, may offer other useful components in addition to a blade. A multitool goes a step further: its defining feature is the combination of several functions in one housing. The selection of functions depends on the model, so not every multitool has the same construction or serves identical tasks.
Size and mechanism change a tool's character
The folding knife in the range measures 18.5 cm long and has an 8.5 cm blade. These two dimensions describe different aspects of the construction: overall length shows the size of the open tool, while blade length indicates the working reach of the cutting component. This makes it easier to understand the model's proportions rather than judge it by one number.
For this type of tool, the mechanism determines the sequence of operation and the form when closed. A folding knife is designed around its blade, a pocketknife groups components within a shared handle, and a multitool organizes several functions around one body. The more working components there are, the more important it becomes to understand how to operate each one and use it for its intended purpose.
From a single function to a compact toolkit
A knife is a natural choice for repetitive cutting tasks, such as opening packages, cutting string, or working on small materials. A pocketknife is useful when you want a blade in a convenient, folding format. The red Tasman UNI pocketknife is a specific example of this tool type and a distinctive visual variant.
A multitool meets a different need: it allows several types of small tasks to be completed without carrying each tool separately. This does not mean it replaces full-size equipment for demanding work. Its strength lies in combining functions and being ready for simple, occasional tasks where having a tool available matters more than the specialization of one component.
Careful operation and basic maintenance
Open the blade with a stable grip and guide it away from your body and the hand supporting the material. After use, it should be clean and dry before being stored. Protect moving joints from a buildup of dust and residue, since dirt can prevent components from opening smoothly.
Each working component should be used for the task it was designed for: a blade is neither a pry bar nor a screwdriver, and a small multitool component does not replace a tool designed for heavy loads. This approach reduces the risk of damage to the edge, mechanism, and workpiece while helping the entire tool operate predictably.
