About Fixed Blades
Ever since we graduated from sharp pointy sticks to sharp pointy rocks, people have been using fixed blade knives as tools. Over time, the whole category has evolved to meet our varying needs.
What is a Fixed Blade Knife?
A fixed blade knife has a blade that remains permanently extended instead of folding into the handle. Because it does not require a pivot or locking mechanism, a fixed blade is generally simple, dependable, easy to clean, and well-suited to demanding cutting tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are fixed blade knives stronger than folding knives?
Yes. Since they don't fold, they don't need a lock or pivot—common failure points on folding knives. The added strength is one of the main reasons to choose a fixed blade over a folder.
What does full tang mean?
It depends on your needs. Stainless steel resists corrosion, while many carbon and tool steels offer greater toughness and easier sharpening.
Can you EDC a fixed blade knife?
Yes. Small fixed blades work well for EDC. Fixed blades with pocket sheaths are particularly good for this purpose.
How do you maintain a fixed blade knife?
Keep the blade clean, dry, sharp, and lightly oiled when necessary. Never store a wet or dirty knife in its sheath.
Are fixed blade knives legal to carry?
In many US states, yes; however, laws vary by location, blade length, and carry method. Always check your local laws before carrying one.
