A fixed-blade knife is a strong knife with a permanently fixed blade that cannot fold down. It stays in one position all the time.
Hunters especially find them useful because they're stronger, more useful, and faster. These knives provide a solid grip, making it easier to use them for different purposes accurately.
Pros
Durability: Firstly, fixed-blade knives are durable and actually more durable and stronger. Durability-usually the structure of the blade and tang run the full length of the knife, handle and all. The blades are usually a little thicker, too. Reliability: With fewer moving parts, fixed-blade knives are more reliable and less prone to malfunction, making them suitable for demanding tasks without worrying about mechanical failures. Fixed blades can be brought into action significantly faster than around 90% of folding knives on the market. Weight: Despite their strength, fixed-blade knives can be lightweight and easy to carry. Ease of cleaning-pretty much everything can be cleaned with a fixed-blade knife. There are very few places for detritus to hide.Cons
Larger and more challenging to carry May be subject to stricter legal restrictions in some areasThe laws regarding the carrying of fixed-blade knives vary by location, so it's important to research and understand the specific regulations in your area.
In general, it's important to carry a fixed-blade knife responsibly and for lawful purposes.
In Washington, you can’t carry ANY fixed blade knife, regardless of size. In Tennessee, you can carry any knife you want.
Consult the LegalBlade app for your state’s laws.
