fixed blade
Solid tang construction
A fixed blade is a knife whose blade doesn't fold or retract—it's permanently extended and typically secured in a sheath when not in use.
Fixed blades are stronger than folding knives because they lack a pivot point, making them preferred for heavy-duty tasks like hunting, camping, and survival situations: He carried a fixed blade on his belt.
