Fixed Blade Knives

Fixed blade knives are what you reach for when a folding mechanism adds complexity you don’t need. They’re simpler, stronger, and faster to deploy because there’s nothing to open – just blade, handle, and whatever retention system keeps it secure. At No Boring Guns, we stock a range of manufacturers who understand that a well-designed fixed blade serves roles from everyday carry to field work without the moving parts that introduce potential failure points.

Fixed Blade Knives for Everyday Carry

EDC Fixed Blade Pocket Carry Options

The best EDC fixed blade designs prioritize low profile and secure retention without bulk. Pocket fixed blade knives typically feature blade lengths that keep overall dimensions manageable while providing enough edge for practical cutting tasks. Kydex sheaths dominate this category because they offer superior retention characteristics, allow for ambidextrous carry configuration, and maintain their shape under stress. We stock various manufacturers like Manly Knives who’ve refined these compact designs, understanding that an EDC knife gets carried daily but used occasionally – comfort and discretion matter more than maximum blade length.

Utility and Field Knives

Larger fixed blades serve different purposes entirely. These tools handle tasks where blade strength and leverage become critical – processing game, batoning wood, or general outdoor work where a compact EDC knife proves inadequate. Construction typically emphasizes durability over minimalism, with thicker blade stock, more substantial handles, and belt-oriented carry systems rather than pocket clips.
