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.

The blades are usually a little thicker, too.

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
