About this trail:
Most folding knives have a locking mechanism. The most traditional and commonplace lock is the slip-joint. This is not really a lock at all, and is found most commonly on traditional pocket knives. It consists of a backspring that wedges itself into a notch on the tang on the back of the blade. The lockback is the simplest and most common true locking knife. It is like a slip-joint, but the lock includes a pivoted latch connected to a spring.

A bread knife is a knife with a long serrated blade especially designed for easily cutting all types of bread. The blade is straight with a blunt end. The serrations (teeth) allow it to cut bread using less vertical force, preventing the bread from being compressed. This may leave fewer crumbs than other knives.

A dive knife, diver's knife, or river knife is adapted for use in diving and watersports. These knives are usually fixed blade, use high chrome stainless steel or titanium for corrosion resistance, have tough synthetic handles, and durable, quick-release sheaths that can be affixed to a PFD or dive vest.
