Pocket knives are suitable for numerous applications. The compact knives prove to be practical not only in outdoor activities - such as hiking, camping, and fishing - but also in everyday life and while traveling. If you are looking for a versatile tool, a pocket knife is almost a must-have. Particularly elegant versions are also popular as collectibles.
Meister Messer offers you a wide selection of pocket knives. Our range extends from simple pocket knives to highly modern multi-functional tools and from affordable models to particularly high-quality designs. We have the right pocket knife for every taste and every application area on offer.
What is a pocket knife?
The term "Sackmesser" is a synonym used in Switzerland and southern Germany for folding or pocket knives. When referring to a Sackmesser here, it may also mean the famous Swiss Army Knife.
Therefore, it is either a folding knife in the traditional sense or a knife designed as a multi-tool. The Swiss Army knife was originally designed as a military pocket knife and equipped with a blade, a can opener, a slotted screwdriver, and an awl. However, modern models usually have additional tools, such as scissors, a wood saw, and/or a corkscrew.
The characteristic features of pocket knives
Pocket knives are available in a wide variety of designs. You can find models designed as one-handed knives as well as two-handed knives in stores. In addition, various locking mechanisms are used. The Liner Lock, Frame Lock, and Back Lock (sometimes also referred to as Lock Back) are particularly proven.
The shape and length of the knife blade as well as the materials used for the blade and handle may vary depending on the model. However, all pocket knives share a common characteristic feature: The blade of the knife can be folded into a sturdy handle, making it safe to transport.
In the product category "Pocket Knives," our focus is on folding knives that are similar in construction to the original Swiss Army Knife. The models offered in this section have a blade length of six to nine centimeters, making them compact enough to fit in any backpack or pocket. They are often equipped with additional tools and usually feature a delicate main blade that is opened with two hands using a nail nick.
Purpose of use crucial when buying
Which pocket knife is best suited for you personally depends mainly on what tasks or in which situations you want to use the tool. If you are looking for a compact tool for simple cutting tasks - such as opening packages or cutting fruit - a folding knife with only one blade is suitable. Corresponding models are handy and easy to use. If you want to buy a particularly elegant pocket knife, a Gentleman's Knife is recommended.
However, a pocket knife equipped with multiple tools offers you greater versatility. Such multi-tools are ideal for situations where you need different tools, for example, for DIY projects and camping. In the online shop of Meister Messer GmbH, you will also find pocket knives designed for specific tasks, such as hunting knives or knives for sailors.
