1095 Carbon Steel
1095 Carbon Steel
An excellent hard use steel, 1095 is a primary choice for camping and larger fixed blade knives for it's extreme toughness and ability to hold an edge. Corrosion resistance is very limited with this steel, most blades come with a coating to prevent premature rusting.

KaBar tang
Alot of people seem to get confused by the tac welds holding the hilt on, and think that the tang is welded on, everyone thought the SOG fusion fixation bowie had a welded tang, but its just the hilt being tac welded in place, Yes this knife is called a "fighter" but it is still a utility knife. If you look at true fighting knives like the AF commando knife or bayonets, they are double edged daggers, the bowie is a popular design because it is an all purpose knife and has enough wieght to make it an effectice slashing weapon true fighting knives are light fast and used for penetration, but arent very good for much else, So you would either carry 2 knives a dagger and a swiss army type knife or use an all purpose design like the KaBar
