I am looking for a small folding knife, keychain size, for daily work/utility stuff. The blade only needs to be about 2 inches long, but I’d like to get one made of high-quality steel, that will keep an edge.

I’d also like to know the best way to sharpen one, in order to keep it sharp and durable.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, it needs to have a keychain hole.

Hi, I’m looking for a razor sharp pocket knife that I wont need to sharpen for a while even after some rough use, so it needs to hold an edge well.

I’m hoping mostly to use it for EDC (Every Day Carry) but it needs to stand up to some really thick rope, and the small possibility it will be used for self-defense in a bad situation.

It does not have to be big, but not absolutely teeny (not under 1 inch, please).

It also cannot be an assisted opener or automatic opener, because everything that opens by itself or with a small flick/gravity is very illegal here in Maine.

I’d love for it to lock open, but locking closed isn’t a must! Hoping for something under 200, and maybe even under 100 if it’s possible.

Thanks for your help guys.

Also:
I’ve checked out tons of popular companies, and my favourites are definitely Spyderco, Cold Steel, Buck, and Leatherman. Any recommendations from any company are accepted though.

It’s a bit like a Swiss pen knife – the tools get clicked/locked into their out position while in use, but I can’t work out how to unlock them to fold them back in to the handle. Any ideas? I’m sure it’s very simple but I can’t work it out!!
