Fixed Blade Knives: Made the cut

Fixed Blade Knives

When you ask seasoned adventurers what type of blades they prefer to carry, odds are they’ll choose a fixed blade knife. While folding knives are preferred by many for the convenience it offers, there’s a good reason why professionals in most fields tend to carry fixed-bladed knives. A quality fixed-blade knife offers unparalleled strength and dependability and is ready for just about any use that you task it with. In this edition of “Made The Cut,” we take a look at a selection of the latest fixed-blade knives that can help you out on your next adventure.
