Fixed-blade knives are essential tools for all of your daily activities. Whether for hunting, hiking, survival, or any other situation.
If someone asks, "What is the one thing you always need?" The answer should always be a knife. Fixed-blade knives are precisely what your pack or pocket needs to ensure you're ready for action. A fixed blade will not fold on your fingers or hand and is sturdy when cutting harder materials than folding knives. Although bulky for everyday carry, a fixed-blade knife can take more abuse and cut harder materials outdoors.
Hunting knives generally have a fixed blade so as not to injure you if a slip happens. A folding knife can malfunction and close on your hand when skinning or cutting a carcass. To avoid this, a fixed-blade knife is preferable. Tactical knives are generally fixed blades because a tactical operator may need to use them at the moment's notice or may not have the freedom of movement to open up a folder. A fixed blade will deliver greater strength and withstand greater forces when utilized than your average folding knife.
