 | | The simplest type of knife is the Full Tang Blade, this is a fixed blade knife that has a handle molded around or attached to the extension of the blade, i.e., it consists of only one piece of steel covered by a handle for the grip. |
 | | The main fighting value of this knife is as a variant of brass knuckles on steriods, something like a fistful of dimes with teeth at both ends as you engage in a very nasty fist fight. |
 | | In terms of employment, drawing a folding knife is the slowest, drawing a pistol is faster, but at belly-to-belly range, drawing the fixed knife from a quick draw scabbard is the fastest of all. |
