Most Tactical Fixed Blade Knives Fail - Here's Why

What's wrong with tactical fixed blade knives these days? Some knife buyers will argue that knives just aren't made the way that they used to be. Others say that "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself".

At any rate, knife owners across the globe are finding new problems and issues with their tactical fixed blade knives that you should know about.

You might be OUTRAGED by:

1. Broken tips

2. Rusted blades

3. Poor Edge Retention

4. Slippery handles

5. AWFUL sheaths

Have no fear! I'm sharing 5 secrets with you today that will help you to get the best out of your next purchase.

1. Before you buy tactical fixed blade knives, think about what you will be using them for. If your knife will be used for prying, scraping or hacking then the fixed blade with a stunningly thin point is not for you.

Buying a tactical fixed blade knife with a thin point is wonderful for puncturing or making precise cuts, but it will probably break if used hard enough.

2. Is sharpness an issue with you? I hope so!

High carbon tactical fixed blade knives are well-known for having the best edge retention on earth. The catch with these knives is that they will rust VERY quickly if you don't keep them dry and lubricated with light oil.

3. Look for knives with harder (higher carbon) stainless steel.

This type of steel will be sharp when you need it to be while resisting corrosion at the same time.

4. Imagine your hand slipping on the handle of your knife and GASHING your palm wide open. While this is not a pretty site, it can and will happen if you don't do the proper research.

Sometimes the most expensive handle material is also the most dangerous! Check out tactical fixed blade knives with subhilts for an extra piece of mind.

5. Hard plastic sheaths are known to be especially tough and weather resistant.

It can be more difficult to draw your knife from these sheaths, though.
