Hello,
I'm a novice and would like to get a nice, big, fixed blade knife.
From my research I've determined that a one piece steel construction would be best - blade, guard, tang, pommel. Is this correct?
When looking at manufacturers' description on the web - how can I determine a knife's construction?
Also, what is a "tapered tang" compared to a "full tang"?
Thanks for the help.
