But each of those two parts can also be subdivided into its own parts. With the help of the photo at right and the descriptions below, you will better understand what components make up your knife.Point - The point is the part of the knife where the edge and spine come together. The point is often used for piercing.Tip - The tip is the forward part of the knife and includes the knife point. The tip is used detailed or delicate cutting.Edge - The edge is the cutting part of the blade. It extends from the point to the heel of the knife.Heel - The heel is the rear part of the edge, opposite the point.Spine - The spine is the top of the knife blade, opposite the knife edge.Bolster - The bolster is the band that joins the blade of the knife to its handle. The bolster provides balance for the knife and also helps to protect the hand from getting in the way of the knife edge.Tang - The tang is the part of the blade that extends into the handle of the knife. It is the surface to which the handle attaches to the blade.Scales - The scales are the part of the knife that creates the handle. Scales are often made of synthetic material or wood.

How does a switchblade knife work?

A real switchblade knife uses a spring loaded blade hidden inside the hollow handle and a release lever. When the release lever (i.e. switch) is flipped the spring rapidly forces the blade from the hollow handle into position for use and the blade latches on a catch that is part of the release lever. To put the blade back in the hollow handle the release lever is moved to unlatch the catch and the tip of the blade is pressed against a hard surface to compress the spring again. The image shows one of these switchblade knives with the release lever clearly visible.

What is the tang of a knife?

That tang is the part of the knife that goes into the handle. Full tang means that the metal goes the full length of the handle which helps both the strength and the balance. There is no screw or rivet attachment of the blade to the handle because the blade metal runs straight through to the end of the handle. This makes the survival knife much stronger. In fact, some survival knife models have the metal extend beyond the end of the handle so that the end of the handle can be used as a hammer. This hammer, often referred to as a pommel, can be used to pound tent stakes into the ground, to hammer loosened nails, for breaking glass to exit from a motor vehicle crash, or for good old fashioned self defense.
