![]() Some good modern fixed blades extend the tang a little beyond that for use as a glass smasher. ![]() Full tang versions are either ground or forged from one piece of steel stock - you can see the steel core of the knife on top and bottom of the handle and all the way to the butt. Fixed blades don’t fail and they come in all sizes, made for all conceivable purposes. OK, maybe you’ll get some strange looks in town and it might not be entirely appropriate attire in all situations, but on the farm or in the woods this knife style makes perfect sense. Wear it in a belt sheath and it’s there when you need it. Looking for a knife that opens with one hand, won’t fold back on your fingers under a heavy load, and requires almost no maintenance? The easiest and best solution is the oldest - not the automatic or the lockback folder, but the old-fashioned fixed blade.
