When choosing a pocket knife, the first decision to make is fixed or folding. The tasks that you want the blade to aid you in will likely dictate the answer. Fixed blades tend to be more specialized with an extra-strong construction that’s ideal for hunting and backcountry survival. Meanwhile, folding knives, with a design that safely stows the blade and keeps the form small, are more practical and universal. They integrate more seamlessly into everyday life, which in turn helps them be at the ready for unexpected chores, however big or small. Here are three that are on sale right now for as much as 50 percent off, should you need a sharp new sidekick.
