A fixed-blade knife is a type of knife that has a blade that is permanently fixed to the handle, meaning it does not fold or retract. This design makes it sturdy and reliable, ideal for various tasks such as camping, hunting, and survival situations. The blade is typically made from high-quality steel, providing excellent cutting performance and durability. Unlike folding knives, fixed-blade knives are easier to clean and maintain, as there are no moving parts that can trap dirt or moisture. Many outdoor enthusiasts, including hunters and campers, prefer fixed-blade knives for their strength and versatility in the field.
