The tool that always fits in your pocket

Buying a folding knife

A folding knife has a single blade that folds into the handle. It is simpler and often sharper than a pocket knife with lots of functions, and ideal for bread, sausage and rope at the campsite. The Opinel is the classic with a wooden handle and locking ring; Buck makes sturdy folding knives with a lockback mechanism. Choose a folding knife with a blade lock, so the blade cannot close unexpectedly.

What to look for

• Pocket knife: Victorinox for tools in one, Opinel for a sharp blade.
• Multitool: with pliers for caravan and bike; True Utility.
• Lock: a blade lock stops the blade from closing.
• Rules: some knives, such as gravity knives and butterfly knives, are banned in the Netherlands, and many Dutch municipalities prohibit carrying a knife in the street. Transport your knife wrapped up and check the local rules when travelling.
