But fixed-blade knives are better than folding knives because fixed-blade knives are generally stronger, especially when the blade and the handle are the same piece of steel. Folding knives are more convenient \u2014 to a degree. Fixed-blade knives are stronger, and they\u2019re not as difficult to carry as you might initially think. Fixed-blade knives come in all shapes and sizes, are made from all kinds of metals and serve many different purposes. These might not be your top five fixed-blade knives. But, for now \u2014 and in no particular order \u2014 these are mine. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h2>1.

Like their pistol counterparts, Glock knives are outrageously tough, durable, reliable and useful in a variety of situations. Glock offers two knife models \u2014 the survival knife you see here and a field knife. The only difference between the two is the survival knife has a saw on the back of its blade.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve pounded my Glock knife through a 4&#215;4 post with a hammer and pried it out with a crowbar, only to find it mildly scratched up but intact and worthy of continued use as a toolbox knife. I can\u2019t prove this, but if you pop the cap off the handle, the Glock knife will mount on a certain Steyr rifle. The Glock sheath fits on a belt up to 2.4 inches wide (or just clips on your pants), locks the Glock knife in it and sports a drainage hole and a loop to lash it to your leg, a vest or a pack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best use:<\/strong> Heavy duty cutting, chopping, sawing, piercing or prying, or as a close-quarters weapon when you\u2019ve burnt through every last round of ammo.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Glock-Perfection-Field-Survival-Sheath\/dp\/B01LX4RG86\" campaign=\"GlockKnifeAmazon\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a> to purchase a Glock knife.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

This uniquely shaped tool sports a 9.5-inch 1095 Carbon Steel blade with a Titanium Nitrade coating. The handle is wrapped in paracord, which helps with grip. (Paracord, of course, has six zillion other uses, so it seems clear that this knife\u2019s mission leans toward survival.) The sheath can attach to your belt or backpack, but it can be a bit awkward to retrieve the tool, especially if you need it in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s most noteworthy about the Farson Hatchet is the unbelievable edge that comes from the factory. You should handle all knives with care, of course, but you really want to be careful in the extreme with this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best use:<\/strong> Medium- to light-duty survival chores, or when you want to cut a tomato into those paper-thin slivers you see on cooking shows.<\/p>\n<p>To purchase the Farson Hatchet from Fremont click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremontknives.com\/farsonhatchet.php\" campaign=\"FarsonHatchetFremont\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a>. \u00a0To pick it up on Amazon, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=farson+hatchet\" campaign=\"FarsonHatchetAmazon\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>4.

The knife clicks in and out of the sheath confidently, requiring you to provide leverage with your thumb against the sheath to draw.

Marttiini\u2019s Little Condor (and its other Finnish brother and sister knives) proves that usefulness and utility is more a matter of thoughtful design than of sheer strength and size. This knife is inexpensive, lightweight and just the right size for, oh, 90 percent of the reasons you need a knife in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>This stainless steel unit goes fishing with me, has a place in a micro toolbox, travels in the car on vacation and rides in a backpack or shoulder bag almost every day. The rubber handle is simple and effective. The leather sheath covers about 75 percent of the knife and the belt loop attachment requires me to unbuckle my belt to loop it through, which is terrible so I never use it. But I do use the knife regularly and keep it in the sheath when not in use. (Usually, it gets stuffed in a back pocket.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best use:<\/strong> Almost any light cutting task.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marttiini.fi\/Little-Condor\" campaign=\"MarttiiniKnife\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Marttiini website<\/a> to learn more or purchase one on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Marttiini-Little-Classic-Knife-8in\/dp\/B00408USKA\" campaign=\"AmazonMarttiiniKnife\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more critical information on the use of deadly force and other firearms and self-defense topics, visit\u00a0<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica\" campaign=\"USCCAShouldIShoot\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">www.uscca.com\/GunsAmerica<\/a><\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These might not be your top five fixed-blade knives.
