The Best Folding Knives For EDC: Brief Reviews

When you ask anyone with a comprehensive EDC kit, it will be pretty hard to find a kit without a good pocket knife. Compact and highly versatile, the tool is an almost indispensable part of a good kit.

But the process of going online to find a top rated pocket knife that’s going to fit your budget and your preferences can be difficult and even tedious, considering the fact that there are so many models out there to choose from. Well, worry no further!

This article is here to help. Below are our picks for the best quality pocket knives  worth featuring in your EDC kit in 2020.

1. Kershaw Cryo

The Kershaw Cryo is the go-to knife if you’re looking for a budget (but no less capable) knife. Weighing an insignificant 4.1-ounces, it’s easy to forget the knife’s existence for a while after you’ve put it in your pocket.

The blade, cast from premium stainless steel, is 2.75 inches long. When fully deployed, the entire knife is roughly 4.5 inches and when folded, it is reduced to a mere 3.7 inches approximately.

The handle is also made out of stainless steel. Inside the handle, you will find a frame lock which acts as the lock mechanism to hold the blade rigidly in place. Equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening technology, it can be deployed quicker and more easily.

In spite of the high-quality material and the solid blade lock, you shouldn’t expect it to hold up to heavy-duty jobs. The blade is good for cutting cords and opening boxes, shearing paper etc.

2. Benchmade Griptilian

Now that we’ve got the affordable option laid out, the Benchmade Griptilian is the perfect high-end option if you need more value for your money. Benchmade is just as reputable a knife-making company as Kershaw and has had multiple knife models featured on top-selling charts.

You have two blade length options to pick when buying a Griptilian: Either a 3.4-inch blade or a more compact 2.9-inch version. This review is for the full 3.4-inch version.

The blade has a straight edge and a drop point. Cast from CPM-S30V stainless steel, it’s highly durable and can hold an edge for an impressive length of time.

The knife weighs about 3.9 ounces. When fully deployed, from the bottom of the handle to the blade’s tip, the knife measures about 8.1inches. When folded, it has a length of about 4.6 inches.

The blade can be opened with one hand or both hands. But one thing worth noting about the Griptilian is its deployment speed – extremely quick. As a matter of fact, this is one of the quickest-deploying folding knives we’ve ever tested. We’ve got to give it to Benchmade for designing such a buttery-smooth deployment mechanism.

The handle’s design is rather special. Made from glass-filled nylon and stainless-steel liners, it feels surprisingly good in the hand and, from what we’ve heard from customers, it holds up great in day-to-day usage.

The pocket clip made from black oxide also makes it easier to carry around. Although the clip is not a deep-pocket clip, it will still be able to lower the knife’s body fully into your pocket.

The knife uses an axis lock to keep the blade in place.

Conclusion
