What's the purpose of manufacturing a knife with a hollow handle? Is it for storage?

Yes for storing a few small survival items e.g. matches, fishing line water purification tablets etc.
1750803
Yes, and of course you can use a stick to make a spear out of it as well. Their is a screwdriver socket set inside in from the factory.
1750804
For storage; matches small fishing line; fire starter, etc. This is a good knife.

One would think the screw on cap would be a dead giveaway to storage capability of a SURVIVAL knife with SURVIVAL supplies at hand if all you end up with in an emergency is your trousers, belt, and knife.

Yes, it is for storage. Typically, one would carry maybe weatherproof matches, fishing line, etc. The one-piece design makes this a much stronger rendition than the models that have the blade welded onto a hollow handle.

No, the handle will not work for this purpose unless you are going to be spearing very small fish and then you would have to uses something like bamboo... I use is purely as a backup knife or knife of last-resort...

If you grind down the top blade edge, maybe. But I wouldn't take the chance because it might mean jail time and thousands of dollars in attorney fees and court costs. The only place you can store this while you're away from home is in a locked tool box and not in your pocket. DON'T END UP IN JAIL!!!!!

It's there to let the air, that would otherwise be trapped inside the hollow handle, expand and contract while the bowl is in an oven. If it wasn't there the hot air inside the handle would expand and shatter the bowl while it's being heated.

It does have a hollow handle, but does not have that hefty feel that denotes high quality stainless steel.

I don't, I guess you would if you were trying to death grip the knife and chop? When I cut my knuckles aren't directly under the knife handle though. This is one of my family's favorite knives, my parents, my brother, and I each have one at our homes. If you want a smoother more expensive smaller handle they do make it out of wood and metal but it's like four times the price and the blade is the same.

There is a separate small block made to hold the knife. When I am not using the knife and cutting bowl, I stand the bowl on end then put the knife and its little holding block on top.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.

I believe that it is Chinese steel and no it is not a full tang knife. The handle is hollow and doubles as storage.

Yes, The Hollows are located about a 1/2inch away from the edge, giving youplenty of area to sharpen the knife, . I love this knife it is well made and with proper care will last a life time

No....it's a working knife...with regular use just ever once in a while is good or when storing it for a few weeks.

Welp, I can't say for sure but I imagine the handle is hollow. Take the answers of the other guys commenting. The butt end of the knife has a clip to attach to an AR barrel. The knife is likely hollow but there is no open end to it.

Its to place a finger through when holding. It adds support, especially when using the knife to gouge or skin the blade.

No, the handle is not hollow. It's completely sealed and no water goes through the handle part.

Sure. It's sort of a weird design, but if you hold the knife parallel to the ground, blade up, you will see a metal band with ribs that basically continues down the blade into the handle. Use your finger or finger nail to slide that toward the center of the knife while slowly closing the blade. I say SLOWLY because it's designed to close on your hand otherwise. Useful tool, not the brightest design. Hope this helps.

Huh?!? Hollow? I have never even HEARD of a hollow knife...lolAs the description states, these are REAL DAMASCUS.

Neither of the 2 I've owned has had an aluminum handle, but I would imagine that it being a one handed operable knife that having a little extra weight would be to it's advantage.
