Fixed Blade Knives

Fixed Blade Knives for Tramping, Hunting, and Camping in NZ

Fixed blade knives are a reliable choice for outdoor adventurers in New Zealand. With no folding parts to fail and a solid, full-length blade, these knives are built for strength and quick access in demanding conditions. Whether you're setting up camp, processing food, or preparing firewood, a fixed blade knife offers straightforward performance and durability.

Why Choose a Fixed Blade Knife?

Unlike folding knives, fixed blades offer enhanced structural integrity. This makes them ideal for tougher tasks such as batoning wood, cutting cordage, or field dressing game. Their open design also makes cleaning easier, which is especially useful in wet or muddy conditions.

Common Types of Fixed Blade Knives

• Tactical knives – Often designed with additional features like partial sawbacks or double-edged blades. These are useful for survival kits and rugged backcountry trips.
• Gut hook knives – Designed for hunters, these include a hooked edge for cleanly opening animal hides without piercing organs.
• Paracord handle knives – Lightweight and practical, the handle wrap can be unwound for emergency use, adding extra functionality for trampers and campers.

Choosing the Right Knife for NZ Use

When selecting a fixed blade knife, consider the length and weight. A longer blade may offer more leverage but adds bulk to your pack. Compact knives are easier to carry and handle, making them better for everyday use or light-duty tasks on the trail. Look for knives that come with a secure sheath, especially if you're carrying it on your belt or leg.

Transport and Legal Considerations in New Zealand

In New Zealand, fixed blade knives are legal to own and use for outdoor activities like hunting, tramping, and camping. However, they should not be carried in public without a valid reason. Always store your knife safely in a sheath and keep it in your pack when not in use. Avoid carrying fixed blades in urban settings unless you're heading directly to or from an outdoor trip.
