Snap-off knives take one blade width, so match the spare blades to the knife. Trimming Knives lists segment blades in 9mm, 18mm and 25mm widths in packs of 10. The 9mm size suits light work such as paper and film, 18mm is the general-purpose size, and 25mm is for heavier cutting. Knives on the page are named with 9mm or 18mm blades.
A retractable knife slides the blade back into the handle, a folding trimming knife hinges shut like a pocket knife, and a fixed blade knife holds the blade rigid and needs a cover or holster when carried. The page lists each kind, plus auto-retracting safety knives at 160mm and 170mm, where the blade springs back when the slider is released.
Hooked blades cut on the pull stroke with the point turned away from the surface below, so they are used on sheet materials such as vinyl flooring, carpet and roofing felt without scoring what lies underneath. Trimming Knives lists hooked blades in a heavy duty pack of 5 and a pack of 10; check that your knife takes this blade pattern.
Compare the function count and how you will carry it. The page lists a 13 function pocket knife, a 14 function pocket multi-tool, a 15-function tool with a belt pouch and a credit card size 50-in-1 steel tool. Trade-specific options include Rollingdog decorator's 10-in-1 and 14-in-1 multi-tools and a Knipex multi-tool for electricians at 190mm.
A quick change knife lets you swap a worn blade using a release on the handle, without undoing screws or splitting the body. On this page the feature appears on locking pocket knives, including one measuring 110mm closed and one 175mm open, and on a heavy duty retractable trimming knife. Check which blades the knife takes so that spares match.
Yes. The page lists an electricians pocket knife with a wire stripping function, a Knipex stripping knife at 146mm and a Knipex multi-tool for electricians at 190mm. These are shaped for removing cable sheath and insulation rather than for general cutting. Choose by whether you want a folding pocket knife or a dedicated stripping tool.

Folding Knives includes locking pocket knives, while Pocket Multi Tools covers pocket multi-tools, including a card-size design.
