The switchblade: The cutlery with high-end finishes and an unfailing efficiency

Also known as a “Jackknife”, the pocket knife is a versatile tool and can thus be used for many things. It can perform duties such as slicing food, cutting ropes and is even used as means of self-defence. It is an every-day tool for your kitchen as well as outdoor purposes. The first switchblades were fabricated in the beginning of the Iron Age, centuries ago. At that time, the design of this cutting tool was mostly basic, with a simple whirling blade. Nowadays, thousands of various types of switchblades can be found, conceived in high-grade materials. Their blades which were once manufactured only in iron, are now in stainless steel which makes them more efficient and long-lasting.

With time, the pocket knife has been acquired by collectors, due to its elegant presentation, and is now also used as a decorative object. Its handle can be manufactured in a variety of materials such as rosewood, horns, bones and many other matters.
