The term 'Type of Knife' can refer to three different types of knives: POCKET, Xacto, and BOWIE. A POCKET knife is a small folding knife that is typically used for everyday tasks such as cutting string or opening packages. An Xacto knife is a precision knife with a sharp blade that is used for cutting and trimming paper, plastic, and other materials. Finally, a BOWIE knife is a large fixed-blade knife that was popularized by the American frontiersman Jim BOWIE in the early 19th century and is often used for hunting and self-defense.
