Why Old Pocket Knives Are Secretly Better!

Описание: Traditional slipjoint pocket knives make the perfect EDC companion – compact, UK legal, and less threatening than modern tactical folders.

Modern folders dominate the EDC world, but after restoring and testing hundreds of traditional slipjoints – from Victorinox to old Sheffield workhorses – I’m convinced the “grandad knife” actually wins for real everyday carry.

✅ Reliability without gimmicks – simple backsprings, proven for decades
✅ Pocket comfort – no hot spots, no clip printing, no “tactical” eyes on you
✅ Easy maintenance – basic stones, simple steels, 5-minute tune-ups
✅ Real value – you pay for craftsmanship and materials, not hype
✅ Heritage & soul – knives that age with you and actually look better with use

Whether you’re deep into EDC or just thinking about your first proper slipjoint, this will show you why the old patterns still make a lot of sense in 2025.

If you’ve written these off as “grandad knives”, give this a watch before you buy your next tactical folder.
