Plain edge knives are traditional knives that have one continuous sharp edge. They serve as great EDC and general purpose knives for everyday use. Due to the lack of serrations, the vast majority of cuts with the blade will be clean cuts, which means if you are cutting ropes, fabrics or cables, the material won’t fray or snag.

Plain edge knives deliver clean, precise cuts with unmatched slicing power. Unlike serrated blades, their smooth edge glides effortlessly through meat, vegetables, rope or leather—making them a top choice for cooking, hunting, everyday carry and tactical use.
Advantages of Plain Edge Knives
-
Superior Control: A continuous cutting edge enables chip-free push cuts and fine detailing.
-
Easy Sharpening: Straight geometry means quick maintenance on stones or ceramic rods.
-
Versatile Applications: Ideal for kitchen prep, field-dressing game, rope work and general utility.
Choosing the Right Plain Edge Knife
-
Blade Steel: High-carbon or premium stainless options offer the best edge retention and corrosion resistance.
-
Blade Shape & Length: Drop-point, clip-point or Tanto—longer blades excel at slicing, shorter ones at precision tasks.
-
Handle Comfort: Materials like G-10, Micarta or rubber ensure a secure grip in both wet and dry conditions.
