Things to Know About Fixed Blade Tactical Knives

Tactical knives such as the Aura Black TiNi and DEF TAC Pathfinder serve many purposes. They must be durable and able to accomplish its purpose quickly and without failure. The primary task is to allow the user to part one thing from another with one hand on the knife. In a battle situation, the other hand generally is used for protection or holding another weapon.  There are folding, that tuck away like a simple pocketknife and are ideal when camping, and fixed blade tactical knives.

Handling a knife properly is important for safety and performance.  Be part of the knife, like the Karate Master, comfortable in use and technique.  If it is needed in a stressful situation, handling will be easy, requiring little or no thought about what to do.

Fixed blade tactical knives should be solid with a safe handle. It is important that it fits the user, and that it has a good blade that is the proper size for the job. The knife should have a strong point that is hard to break, as it will often be used to pry things open or dig into surfaces such as dirt or wood.

Tactical knives began as close combat weapons for military operations, with origins surrounding dirks and daggers.  Soldiers brought their knife skills and tricks home with them. Whether it was prying open paint can lids, cutting a rope, or removing an unwanted branch from a bush, they found a use for their knife in civilian life. Soon, farmers, fishermen, and campers discovered that the outdoor environment offered many opportunities to use versatile fixed blade tactical knives like American Lawman.

Serrated fixed blade tactical knives are ideal when cutting tree branches and other rough surfaces not requiring a clean cut.  Plain blades give clean cuts. The OSI Single Edge, for instance, is hollow ground and has a keen, thin edge. It sticks, cuts, and slashes, useful to hunters and hikers. The OSI has sectioned, field dressed, and skinned many animals satisfactorily and is regarded as extremely efficient.

Divers, fishermen, and whitewater rafters find the Hammond A. B. C. E. R. lives up to its “all bases covered” claim. Fixed blade tactical knives can mean the difference between life and death, so the user wants a dependable knife for survival, work, and rescue operations. Prying open doors or other blockages is easier with the blunt tip. Also, air compartments aren’t punctured if the knife is accidentally dropped, as they would be with a pointed tip.

When on the water or in the forest, Hammond’s bright orange handle is easy to see.  A sure grip is possible with the friction grooved finger coils. Campers, hunters, and farmers will appreciate the dual cutting edges. A serrated edge on one side and sharp edge on the other clears vegetation and cuts through nets and lines.

If a situation arises for self-defense, it is good to know that GI Tanto by Cold Steel stands ready for action. The broad Tanto point blade is razor sharp, and rust resistant. Its balance allows throwing by blade or handle, with a significant impact. It can be converted into a spear or war club, if there is time. Hiking, working in the yard or fields, or on patrol, fixed blade tactical knives provide protection.
