Discover the Best Pocket Knives at BudK

Pocket knives are an essential tool for everyday tasks, outdoor adventures, and collecting. Whether you need a practical blade for daily use or a unique design to showcase in your collection, BudK offers a wide range of pocket knives to suit every purpose.

Automatic Knives: The Future of Convenience

Automatic knives, also known as switchblades, are designed for one-handed operation. With just the push of a button, the blade springs open, offering speed and ease of use. These knives are perfect for situations where quick access to a blade is essential, such as outdoor tasks or emergencies.

Our Gangster's Edge Automatic Stiletto Pocket Knife combines sleek design with high functionality. Its stiletto-style blade is perfect for precise cuts, while the automatic mechanism ensures reliability. Automatic knives are ideal for those who value efficiency and modern technology in their tools. With features like a smooth deployment, durable handle materials, and a secure locking mechanism, this folding knife offers exceptional everyday carry utility.

Why Choose Traditional Pocket Knives?

Traditional pocket knives have stood the test of time for a reason. These classic folding knives are built to last and are perfect for everyday use, from opening packages to whittling wood on a camping trip. Their simple yet sturdy design makes them a must-have for anyone who appreciates timeless craftsmanship.

Take, for example, our Honshu Black and Blue Sekyuriti Pocket Knife. This knife blends a classic look with modern materials, offering durability and a comfortable grip. Traditional pocket knives are perfect for those who value simplicity and reliability in their tools. Many knives in this category feature carbon steel blades with excellent corrosion resistance and closed length designs that fit comfortably in your pocket.


Assisted Opening Knives: Speed Meets Simplicity

Assisted opening knives strike a balance between traditional folding knives and automatic knives. With a spring-assisted mechanism, these blades deploy quickly and smoothly when you apply manual pressure to the thumb stud or flipper.

The SOA Scout Assisted Opening Pocket Knife is a standout option in this category. Its rugged design and swift blade deployment make it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and everyday users alike. Assisted opening knives are a great choice for those who want speed and control without the full automation of a switchblade. They’re ideal for everyday carry and can handle tasks like slicing food, cutting rope, or prying open items.

Out-The-Front (OTF) Knives: A Unique Blade Deployment

OTF knives are designed for precision and innovation. Unlike traditional folding knives, the blade of an OTF knife extends and retracts straight out of the handle, offering a compact and futuristic design.

Our Ghost Series Black Double Edge OTF Knife is a prime example of this cutting-edge style. Its double-edged blade and sleek design make it an excellent tool for tactical use and a conversation starter for collectors. OTF knives are perfect for those looking for something both functional and unique. With a combination of carbon steel blades and ergonomic handle materials, these knives offer durability and life-long performance.

Caring for Your Pocket Knife
