How to Choose the Best Pocket Knife for Your EDC

As with all EDC gear, finding the right knife for you depends on plenty of factors. For general everyday use, you’ll most likely want a folding knife with a locking mechanism, a pocket clip, and a blade that’s around 2.5“ to 3” long. However, there are still a few things to consider besides those factors:
- Size and weight: The most useful knife is the one you have with you. An EDC knife should be compact and light enough that you won’t feel inconvenienced to carry it every day, but large and robust enough to feel comfortable in your hand and effective while cutting. A good ballpark range for an EDC knife size is around 4“ long when closed and around 3.25 oz in weight.
- Blade length and shape: A drop-point shaped blade between 2.5“ to 3.5” long should handle most everyday tasks. The trade off with length is the longer you go, the more cutting edge you can work with, potentially making tasks easier. Any longer and it may feel unwieldy in hand. Shorter blades are ideal for lighter cutting tasks and seeming less threatening when using them in public.

If you can’t legally carry a locking knife,
- Handle Materials: There’s more to a knife than its blade—the handle is an important part of the equation. You’ll want a handle that’s comfortable, durable, and grippy. G10 is a good all-around material for its light weight and grip but you might also like other materials like anodized aluminum, micarta canvas, or wood.
- Styling: Once you’ve gone over the considerations above, you can narrow your search to knives that look great and fit your style alongside the rest of your gear. You might want a tough-as-nails tactical blade, a classy gent’s knife to use around the office, or a traditional design for that timeless appeal.
