Short Blade Knives

BY TREAD STAFF

Because not every situation requires you to whip out a knife large enough to dice up an entire side of beef, we present to you a selection of the latest knifes equipped with short blades. There are times when a shorter blade is more suitable to use over a long one, as in the case of shaving down wood to make kindling for a campare or opening up a freshly delivered package of new parts for your truck, for example. A larger knife, while more powerful, can be harder to control for detailed work. Short blade knives come in all different sorts of styles, from traditional folders and fixed blades to automatics and even more unique styles such as a retractable floating blade like to one seen in this guide. Perfect to clip to your pants pocket or stow away in your pack, these knives may be diminutive but are packed full of usefulness. Which knife would you choose from in the following collection?
