Folding knives are useful for different kinds of jobs. The camper will find it practical to bring along. They will be necessary for twiddling wood when setting up tents or cutting up food to cook over an open fire. When he catches some fish in the lake he will need a knife to gut it and get it ready for the pan. A folding knife is not just for campers. It is also used as weapons for aggression or self defense.

Knives are also works of art. These are items that collectors will want to own. Art knives are made by the finest blade smiths. Sometimes a particular knife is one-of-a-kind. This is reason enough to have them custom made and have a replica as part of a collection.
