The Different Types of Knives and Their Uses

At Slick Blade, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse selection of high-quality knives for a variety of needs. While we don't specialize in kitchen knives, we do offer a wide range of other types of knives that are perfect for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, and sports.

Folding knives are a popular choice for everyday carry as they can be easily carried in a pocket or bag. They come in many shapes and sizes, from slim and sleek designs to more robust knives with serrated edges. These knives often feature a locking mechanism that keeps the blade in place when it's open, ensuring safety and reliability.

Automatic knives, also known as switchblades, offer quick and easy one-handed deployment for those who need a knife in a hurry. They are ideal for situations where speed is of the essence, such as emergency situations or self-defense. Our selection of automatic knives features a range of styles and blade shapes to suit any preference.

Fixed blade knives are another popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts and those in need of a reliable, sturdy knife. They are designed for heavy-duty tasks and are often used for hunting, camping, and survival situations. Our fixed blade knives come in a variety of blade shapes and sizes, from small and compact to large and imposing.

Finally, throwing knives are a unique type of knife that requires skill and precision. Used for sport and recreation, throwing knives are designed for balance and aerodynamics. They are not designed for heavy-duty tasks and should only be used for their intended purpose.

While we don't offer kitchen knives, we recognize that they are an important tool in any kitchen. From chef's knives to serrated bread knives, kitchen knives come in a wide range of shapes and sizes for various tasks. They make food preparation much easier and more efficient.

Whether you're in need of a reliable everyday carry knife, a sturdy knife for outdoor adventures, or a knife for sport and recreation, Slick Blade has a knife that will suit your needs.
