I am sure that many people are asking themselves this question. We all want to know how long we can expect our pocket knives to last and for what purpose they will be used.

We have outlined 9 things to keep in mind when using your new pocket knives so that it lasts as long as possible!

– Keep your knife sharp! A sharper blade is safer and will last longer.

– Don’t use it as a screwdriver or pry bar, try to avoid any heavy-duty tasks that are not the intended usage for the tool.

– You wouldn’t want to chop down trees with it, even though many knives can do so. Likewise, don’t peel an apple with a serrated edge pocket knife; use another utensil instead!

– Clean off all dirt before storing in sheath/knife roll or case every time after finishing a task (be sure to dry). Dirt = corrosion over time and neglecting this process could lead to rust on metal blades which often ruins them completely.

-Blade type – blade size and shape are important in choosing a good knife. This is because the end-user may have specific tasks that they want to use their pocket knife for. So, choose it wisely.

-Sharpening stones – it’s very helpful to keep a set of sharpening stones around as you’ll need them from time to time.

-Knife care – there are a lot of different ways that you can store and clean your pocket knife. Again, it’s all about making sure you have the right setup for what will work best with your lifestyle
