Due to its small size and simple function, folding knives are among the cheapest equipment items for hunting. A simple model with a plastic handle can be purchased for around €10. Better versions, which are more finely crafted and decorated, range in price from €50 to €200, which is insignificantly low compared to other items needed for hunting.
In the field of so-called cold weapons, which also includes folding knives, there are countless manufacturers that differ fundamentally in quality and price. Particularly popular are knives from manufacturers such as Bergkvist, Helle, Böker, Walther, Sauer, and Victorinox.
It is of great importance to regularly clean your knives, ideally after each use. The blade must be cleaned particularly well to prevent rust and dullness. The handle of the knife should also be treated with care and cleaned after use so that the knife as a whole can fulfill its function for as long as possible. A basic rule for good and high-quality hunting knives is that they should never be cleaned in the dishwasher. The aggressive cleaning agents can damage the edge and make it dull. It is advisable to gently clean the knives by hand with mild cleaning agents and a cloth. The blade should also be sharpened from time to time to ensure it is always ready for use.
