Knives are among the oldest tools known to man and while there are countless types out there, one of the biggest divides comes down to how many edges the blade actually has. A single-edge knife only cuts on one side, which makes it easier to control for detailed work, while a double edge knife is sharpened on both sides, giving it a symmetrical point that cuts no matter which way you swing it. This difference might seem small on paper, but it changes how the knife handles, how it’s used and who tends to reach for it.
