folding knives

Knives were usually kept in a sheath for two reasons. One is to protect the person from the sharp blades. The other is to protect the sharp edge of the knife from being deformed. The sheath was earlier hanged from the belt. It was symbolic of the warrior.

The knives in sheaths eventually took on a sleek look. The handles folded into the blade thereby protecting them from accidents. These were called folding knives. Modern day folding knives are popular collector’s items. You can find simple single blade knives or the sophisticated multi-blade Swiss knife. It is an important tool to bring along when camping.
