I have a bunch of these Smith & Wesson Fixed Blade Knives and I love how they feel in my hand. They are the perfect size to slip in my boot, tuck down the back of my pants, or strap on my MOLLE Vest. That means they are highly likely to be in my hand when I need them. Just make sure that wherever you put them is legal in your location.
My buddy always complains about my Fixed Blade Knives. He can clip his folding knife to his belt and because its not concealed it is 100% legal in his state. While it is better than nothing, I prefer a Fixed Blade if I have a choice. Folding knives are great, but when it comes to making a spear for survival I don’t trust that hinge point. The second it takes to open the blade also worries me. Sure I have to draw my Fixed Blade Knife but the moment the tip clears the sheath I am ready for action.
I also find that from a quality perspective it is hard to get a folding knife at this price point. That is important because I like to stash these Fixed Blade Knives in various locations. With a bit of glue or a magnet I can stash these just about anywhere. And yes, I am always careful to keep them out of locations where kids could find them.
Fixed Blade Knife Scoring
These Fixed Blade Knives can have a moderate impact on your survival and score a 251/1000. They get points for being easy to stash but loose points because they are close in weapons.
