Pocket knives have been a useful tool for centuries, evolving over time to meet the needs of people from all walks of life.
From ancient times to modern day, they have remained a practical and versatile tool.
We at Koi Knives, an Adelaide-based business, have a deep appreciation for the history and craftsmanship of pocket knives, and our knives are a testament to this.
Here's a brief history of pocket knives, and how Koi Knives has contributed to this rich tradition.
The Early Days
The first evidence of folding knives dates back to the Iron Age, with the ancient Romans known to carry small folding knives. During the Middle Ages, knives were a common tool used by tradespeople and craftsmen. The term "pocket knife" was first used in the 16th century when knives began to be designed with folding blades that could be carried in a pocket.
The 18th and 19th Centuries
During the 18th and 19th centuries, pocket knives became more widespread and were used by people from all walks of life.
Farmers, hunters, and tradespeople all carried pocket knives, which were often personalized with unique designs or markings.
Many soldiers also carried pocket knives, which were used for a variety of tasks, including cutting food, repairing gear, and even as a weapon.
The 20th Century
In the 20th century, pocket knives continued to evolve, with new materials and designs being introduced. Stainless steel, which is still a popular material for pocket knives today, was first developed in the early 1900s. In the 1950s, the Swiss Army Knife was introduced, which became an instant classic and remains a popular choice for those in need of a versatile pocket knife.
