Akinod Knives & Magnetic Cutlery Sets: Folding Paring Knives and Portable Camping Utensils at Black Country Outdoor

Short answer: Akinod makes compact, affordable knives and portable cutlery in two lines. The folding paring knives have 3Cr13 stainless steel blades of about 3 inches and work as EDC knives or kitchen helpers. The magnetic cutlery sets are 7-inch boxed sets with wooden handles that assemble magnetically for camping, travel or gifting. Most items cost between $23 and $45 right now.

Here is how each type works, who it suits, and how to choose.

What is Akinod?

Akinod is a brand stocked at Black Country Outdoor. Its range centers on small, practical blades and portable cutlery, with natural wood handles (olive wood, coralwood) and budget-friendly 3Cr13 stainless steel. You can browse everything in the Akinod collection.

Akinod folding paring knives

These are small linerlock folders with roughly 3-inch blades and about 4 inches closed. That makes them small enough for a pocket and capable of everyday cutting.

Akinod 18H07 Paring Linerlock, Olive Wood, Titanium Coated

Akinod Paring Linerlock, Transparent Jungle Handle

The Transparent Jungle Handle paring knife is the lowest-priced folder here at $23.52 (was $34.99). It has a 3-inch 3Cr13 stainless blade and a translucent handle, which gives it a modern look.

The Coralwood paring folding knife has a satin-finished 3Cr13 blade and a coralwood handle. It is $28.59 (was $44.99) and is marketed toward home cooks. It suits peeling, trimming and picnic prep.

Best for: kitchen use, picnics, anyone who wants a folding paring knife.

About the 3Cr13 stainless steel

3Cr13 is an entry-level stainless steel. It resists corrosion, is easy to sharpen at home, and keeps prices low. It won’t hold an edge as long as premium steels, so plan on occasional touch-ups. A basic knife sharpener or a set of stones and strops will keep it sharp.

Akinod magnetic cutlery sets

This is the more distinctive part of the range. The sets come as boxed 7-inch sets with magnetic assembly. The pieces store compactly and snap together for use.

How to choose

1. Decide the main use. For carrying and cutting, choose a folding paring knife. For eating and food prep outdoors, choose a magnetic cutlery set.
2. Pick your handle. Olive wood is the most classic, coralwood is warmer in tone, and transparent is the most modern.
3. Set a budget. Most items fall between $23 and $45. The cutlery sets and paring knives are good gift-sized purchases.
4. Plan for care. Wipe wooden handles dry, avoid soaking them, and oil them occasionally. Use cleaning and maintenance products on blades.
5. Check local laws. Knife regulations vary by state and city, so confirm what’s legal where you live before carrying.
