Chris Reeve Knives is a leading American-based manufacturer of folding and fixed-blade knives designed for everyday work. Known for sleek, innovative design, Chris Reeve Knives has made massive contributions to the knife world, including the industry standard Reeve Integral Lock™ (known to many as the "frame-lock"). Working closely with Crucible Industries, Chris Reeve Knives has also played an essential role in developing CPM S30V, S35VN, and S45VN, powdered blade steels formulated particularly for edge-retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. After over 30 years in business, the once "out-of-the-garage" company has grown into a full production facility known worldwide for quality, excellence, and innovation.Chris Reeve Knives began operations on January 1, 1984, in a one-car garage in Durban, South Africa, when Chris moved from full-time Tool and Die Maker/part time knife maker to full-time knife maker. For a few years, he and his partner Anne were the only employees but gradually and steadily, the company has grown to reach its present position as a well equipped manufacturing company and a noted brand in the industry. The road between 1984 and today has not always been smooth. For many years, the endeavor was under-funded but with determination, Chris and Anne put all they had into producing the best knives possible, within the resources available. In March 1989, they moved from their native South Africa and settled in Boise, Idaho. That move in itself was a major undertaking but vital for the future of the company.Chris has always "pushed the envelope". Whether on a motorcycle or behind a belt grinder, he dreamed of being a world champion. He did not win a motorcycle world championship but in many respects, the standing of CRK today represents one. His induction into the Cutlery Hall of Fame in June 2015 could be considered his championship trophy. The single thought in Chris' mind has always been to design every model with deliberation, taking into account how the knife works, its intended purpose and the most appropriate materials. On this foundation, CRK is a vibrant business, has a great staff of well-trained employees, and remains a company with a worldwide reputation for raising the standards bar - "pushing the envelope" - for the industry.

I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, there was nothing cooler than a Swiss Army Knife. There’s always been something just so appealing about having all those gadgets in a pocket knife form that even now when I’m older, never goes out of style.When people think of Swiss Army Knives, the image of the iconic red-handled pocket knife is probably what comes to mind, but they do a lot more than just that. Since Victorinox has been around since the late 1800s, there are innumerable models to choose from at this point, but we’ve narrowed it down to the Top 10 that we think represents the best of what this hallowed brand has to offer.The Swiss Army PioneerFirst up is the Swiss Army Pioneer, which is the modern descendant of the knife that started it all: the original Swiss Army Knife, the Modell 1890. The original knife had wood handles, but the toolset on the Pioneer is remarkably similar. This can do everything the 1890 did, but thanks to the modern iterations of the tools it carries, it can do even more.It trades out the wood handles for Victorinox’s signature Alox aluminum handles. They look great and they sport a raised grid-like pattern for texture. They even tend to be a little bit sturdier than the plastic, or cellidor knives that you may be familiar with.The Pioneer has two layers of tools. Of course, we get a stainless steel knife blade as well as a nice awl. We also get a bottle opener and a can opener, and each of these has a flathead screwdriver tip. The smaller screwdriver on the can opener can even work on some Phillips screws in a pinch. The bottle opener also sports a wire stripper at the base, and it also has a strong half-stop, so you can exert more leverage on a stuck screw when you have it in this configuration.Victorinox Swiss Army Pioneer X Red Alox KnifeCenter Exclusive open on a tactical backgroundSharing the top spot, the closely-related Pioneer X takes these same tools and adds a pair of scissors for even more versatility. It also comes in silver Alox, but if you prefer a more colorful version, we’ve got Knifecenter exclusive Red and Black Alox options that you can only get from us.The Swiss Army FarmerNext up is the Farmer, and while it may look like the Pioneer we just saw, it adds another layer and another tool. This knife, along with another model we’ll mention later, is one of the two most highly regarded Swiss Army Knives for use while camping or in the outdoors. Thanks to the Alox construction, the Farmer is nice and sturdy, and it has is an excellent saw blade. When it comes to pocket-sized multitool saws, the Victorinox versions are hard to beat. The included awl is also a great tool for the outdoorsman. It’s great for drilling small holes or scraping, and it makes a great striker for a firesteel/ferrocerium rod when you want to get your fire going.Victorinox Swiss Army Farmer X in silver, red, and black, open on a Maxpedition backpackLike the aforementioned Pioneer, the Victorinox has also introduced an “X-variant” of this knife, dubbed the Farmer X. The addition of the pair of scissors makes it an even more versatile tool for the camper, hiker, or for other EDC needs.The Swiss Army Classic SDNext up, probably more commonly seen than any other model, is the keychain-sized Classic SD. This little guy has an impressive toolset for such a small unit, sporting a pen blade, scissors, and a nail file with a screwdriver tip. This knife also sports a famous Swiss Army Knife feature: the included toothpick and tweezers that are stored inside the handle scales.Speaking of handle scales, there are perhaps more variants of the Classic than any other Swiss Army Knife, from the classic red cellidor, silver Alox, translucent covers, custom graphic variants, and more. But our favorite has to be Victorinox’s StayGlow material, which is bright yellow in the sunlight and emits a nice glow when the sun goes down, which can be quite helpful if you drop your keys in the dark.The Classic SD is a knife that’s so handy and so attainable that anyone can afford to put it on their keyring. It’s useful for all kinds of day-to-day tasks, and even personal grooming in a pinch.Swiss Army Midnight Mini Champ Victorinox Swiss Army Midnight Mini Champ open on a white backgroundNow, the king of the keychain-sized Swiss Army Knives, the Midnight Mini Champ. This has a ton of tools on it that let it compete with some of their larger offerings, and it even includes a few implements that can only be found on these smaller knives. The best of which is a combination tool that includes a bottle opener, wire stripper, and even a magnetized Phillips-head screwdriver.The killer feature though are translucent cellidor scales that house both an LED light and a retractable ball-point pen. With all of these great tools, you’ll have a hard time finding anything else with this much utility in such a small space.The Swiss Army Tinker Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker open on rocks and logsNext up is the Tinker, which is a great tool for getting things done day-to-day. It’s a pattern that has been so successful for Victorinox that it spawned several other models, like the Super Tinker and Deluxe Tinker with even more implements.The Tinker has both a main blade and a smaller pen blade, which is great for delicate work. Some people like to use the larger blade for most day-to-day tasks, but keep that smaller blade in reserve with a super-sharp edge for those times when you really need it.The Tinker has the bottle and can opener tools as well, and this is the first full-sized Swiss Army Knife we’re looking at that has some tools on the back side as well, including an awl and a nice Phillips screwdriver that opens into a “T” configuration, making it very easy to exert a lot of leverage on a screw despite the short length of the tool.The Swiss Army Spartan Victorinox Swiss Army Spartan PS Onyx Black resting on a red metal trayNext up is the Spartan, which is quite similar and tied with the Tinker on our list, but it trades the screwdriver for another classic Swiss Army Knife feature: a corkscrew. Not only is this great to have on a picnic to open your favorite beverage, but even if you don’t drink wine, this can be a useful implement for things like untying a stuck knot, or other things when your fingernails just won’t cut it. Like the Tinker, you can get this knife in a variety of handle colors, including the version pictured here with glossy black scales and a coordinated black finish on all the tools. It’s called “polispectral,” or Inox spectral, but it looks great and it reminds me a bit of gun bluing, but with a more refined feel overall.The Swiss Army EvoGrip Victorinox Swiss Army Evogrip 14 open and resting on a coil of ropeIt used to be that there were two official Swiss Army Knife companies. In addition to Victorinox, contracts were also awarded to Wenger to make pocket knives for the Swiss military. In their later years they were known for being a little more adventurous than Victorinox with their models.In 2005, Victorinox actually acquired them, and they continued to produce the Wenger models under the original brand name. This lasted until 2013 when they brought all the knife models under the Victorinox umbrella. They discontinued some models in the process, but they kept the best and continue to produce them, and the EvoGrip Series allows Wenger to live on for a new era.The EvoGrip is a derivation of the Evolution Series, which brought curves and swells to the Swiss Army Knife shape in an attempt the break up the normally smooth and streamlined look. The EvoGrip took that shape and added grippy rubber inserts for more traction, and the EvoGrip S18 is the model I personally carry every day.There are red-handled versions of these knives, but the S18 comes in yellow, and this model has a few tool holdouts from the Wenger era where they differ just a bit from the other Victorinox models. The most obvious is a blade lock, which is a rarity on standard-sized Swiss Army Knives. In use, I’ve never found it to get in the way, it actually sits between my index and middle finger, and it’s easy to disengage when you’re done with the blade. The scissors are also a more robust design, and they actually use the slipjoint leaf spring as the backspring for the scissors which feature micro-serrated blades that are self-sharpening as you use them. The bottle opener is also a little bit different. You can see it in the shape, and also instead of a half-stop, it has a self-locking mechanism that will prevent the tool from closing on you as long as you’re pressing down.Swiss Army Cadet Victorinox Swiss Army Cadet open on a black backgroundNow for the Cadet. If you’re looking to the Swiss for a gentleman’s knife, this is a prime candidate thanks to the slim construction and classy, almost jewel-like quality of the Alox scales. It can fit very easily in a pocket without spoiling the lines of your attire and is not likely to raise eyebrows if you need to use it. It has just enough tools to see you through your day, including a blade, bottle opener and can opener with screwdriver tips, and a combination nail file and fingernail cleaner.The Swiss Army One-Hand Trekker Victorinox Swiss Army OH Trekker, open on a wood plank backgroundWe started with the modern successor to the original-issued Swiss Army Knife, and we’ll end with a civilian version of the knife issued to the Swiss Army today, and that’s the One-Hand Opening Trekker.The main feature is a one-hand opening blade, another rarity among Swiss Army Knives, that comes with a partially serrated edge out near the tip. The blade is secured open by a liner lock, and that same liner actually locks the large bottle opener in place as well. The Trekker is a knife that’s preferred for heavier jobs, and, like the Farmer earlier, it’s a favorite of outdoorsmen as well thanks to the comfortable handle and the inclusion of an even-longer saw.Don’t Forget the Collectibles! Victorinox Swiss Army 2020 Limited Edition Swiss Spirit Explorer on burlapApart from their inherent usability, Victorinox Swiss Army Knives represent a great opportunity for collectors, and they’re more than happy to put out fancy and upgraded versions that make fantastic additions to any collection. Common themes are yearly Chinese Zodiac models and yearly artwork contests, with winning entries showing up on select knife models. They also aren’t afraid to experiment with natural handle materials and premium Damasteel blades.This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Victorinox Swiss Army Knives. They have got, seriously, a ton of models, and if one of these isn’t quite what you’re looking for, chances are they’ve got a model that will have the tools you need. As you can see they’re far more diverse than just the red-handled pocket knives you remember, but you can’t go wrong with anything you’ve seen here.

Spyderco has a long history of taking chances and pus+hing the envelope. From first popularizing the pocket clip on knives, their signature one-hand opening hole, and their maxim of Constant Quality Improvement that lets them keep their models fresh have all paid off with a string of successful models. These are the best Spyderco folding knives you can get your hands on. Spyderco Endela While the Delica remains one of our favorite knife recommendations and the Endura is one of the finest large & lightweight pocket knives, the newest Endura neatly splits the difference in size. With a blade length of 3.4 inches, it is sized for the times, fitting right in with most marquee knife releases these days.Made in Seki City, Japan, it features a number of Spyderco’s staples of design. This starts with their unmistakable blade style with signature round hole cutout for ambidextrous one-handed opening, allowing left or right-handed use without the need for protruding thumbstuds. The full flat grind is a common feature on their knives and it emphasizes a clean and efficient cutting experience.The handles also feature their famous bi-directional Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon – lightweight, it features a radial pattern that provides retention both forward and rearward so you can maintain a solid grip when things get greasy or wet, a fantastic solution for the working individual. Combined with a four-position pocket clipTo secure the blade this knife features a mid-mounted lockback with a small cutout – the David Boye Dent. This feature makes it both easier to find the lock if you aren’t looking right at it while closing, and also is designed to safeguard against accidental closing. The lock is also fully ambidextrous, as is the pocket clip thanks to four possible mounting positions.All of the things on the Endela, and Delica and Endura for that matter, are elements you’ll see repeated throughout their lineup – like jazz musicians reinterpreting a classic riff over and over.Spyderco Native 5 With our next knife, the USA-manufactured Native 5, Spyderco adds another key theme to that riff, and that is the finger choil that spans the handle and the heel of the blade. This feature eliminates some of the dead space around the pivot that folders usually have to contend with, allowing for a fuller grip without the added bulk of a bigger handle when you fold it up and stash it in your pocketEverything else you’ll recognize from the Endela – the lockback (although without the Boye Dent), the FRN, the signature leaf-shaped blade – and it all comes together to create a knife that is one of their best EDC designs of all time that is made in America to boot.Also, like many of Spyderco’s classics, there are a ton of variants – including upgraded steels and handle materials, including the version in the image above which falls into their Salt series, a collection of model variants that feature highly corrosion-resistant materials. In addition to the standard size, the success of this model has led to spinoffs. The smaller Lil’ Native is extremely pocket-friendly and adds several different lock options while the Native Chief sizes the blade up to truly impressive proportions.Spyderco Dragonfly 2 Perhaps the knife that most successfully takes advantage of Spyderco’s signature finger choil treatment is another Seki City knife, the Dragonfly 2. By using that signature element they prove that they are masters of making a small pocket knife that feels bigger than the “on paper” specs would suggest.When folded, this knife could easily fit in the small “watch pocket” often found on a pair of blue jeans. Yet, when opened, most users can still get at least three and a half fingers on the handle thanks to the choil, allowing enough control and power to be confidently applied to the blade. Speaking of the blade, several shapes are available, including a Wharncliffe, an Emerson Wave-equipped spear point, a serrated hawkbill, and the classic Spyderco leaf-shaped blade.This knife, at least most versions of it, also shows us yet another common Spyderco element seen throughout their lineup, the folded wire pocket clip. On some models this allows for complete deep carry of the knife. Even on the ones where a bit of handle still sticks above the pocket line, the clip itself is unobtrusive and classy looking. Perfect for those who don’t want to draw unwanted attention.Spyderco TenaciousAs much mileage as Spyderco gets from their lockbacks, they do offer so much more too. That brings us to one of our favorite affordable knife recommendations, the liner-locking Tenacious.This knife is made in China, and when it was introduced really raised the bar for what you could get in an inexpensive knife, winning the Best Buy award at the 2008 Blade Show.The liner lock is housed in textured G10 scales that simply ooze quality as soon as you pick one up. The blade is very capable too with well executed 8Cr13MoV steel, and it maintains the full flat grind on dimensions that neatly bridge the gap between pure slicing efficiency and hard-use durability. Newer versions have incorporated their signature bi-directional FRN handle options and even high performance S35VN steel into the list of options available.There is no finger choil, but they manage to eliminate the usual “dead space” around the pivot that most folders are saddled with. The edge comes all the way back to the start of the handle where, thanks to the gentle finger groove, you can actually get your hand right up behind the start of the edge. This allows the user to choke up right behind the edge for precise control and it is just one of the details that lets the Tenacious perform higher than its lowly price would suggestSpyderco Manix 2Spyderco has tried their hands at their own locks over the years too, and they have come up with some good ones. Their Ball-Bearing Lock is their answer to crossbar-style locks made popular by Benchmade and their AXIS Lock. It is housed most famously in the American-made Manix 2, a true workhorse of the Spyderco lineup that can cover everything from EDC to combat and tactical rolesThe large ball-bearing that gives the lock its name is pressed into the tang of the knife by a sturdy spring with (on the Manix at least) polymer tabs sticking out both sides of the knife to enable easy, ambidextrous use. The blade itself is broad, typically full-flat ground, and comes in a variety of steel options, including some of the best performing steels on the market, including S110V for extremely high degrees of edge retention.Spyderco Paramilitary 2 & Para 3 Next up is the one-two punch of the Paramilitary 2 and smaller Para 3, also made in America, and featuring their flagship locking mechanism, the Compression Lock This lock has a tab of metal that interlocks with the tang of the knife, but in use, you can kind of think of it like a spine-mounted liner lock. It offers easy one-handed operation for right-handers, although left-handed versions of the 2 are available, and it even allows blade flicking action for fast opening and closingBoth of these models are actually offshoots of Spyderco’s Military folder, but these designs have eclipsed that groundbreaking model in popularity. Like the Manix 2, the Paramilitary 2 has plenty of grip on its own, and the choil allows for choking up even closer. G10 is standard on both the 2 and Para 3, although if you want lightweight FRN, you will be restricted to the 3 at this point in time.The reasons these models are considered to be at or near the top of the Spyderco lineup are these: when it comes to a versatile model that can do it all – combat, self-defense, heavy work, or just plain everyday utility – these knives do it better than most options on the market at any price.   The article is shared from Internet...knifeglobal：https ://knifeglobal.com
