What are the parts of the knife?
There are many different parts of a knife. The main ones are here: Back spacer-the material that holds the two sections of the handle together in a folder. Belly-edge curve or arc. The greater the belly, the better you can make sweeping cuts necessary for skinning. In a combat knife, it changes the angle of attack from a chopping cut to a slashing movement. Choil-the unsharpened part of the blade where it meets the handle; many knives have a choil designed to accept the index finger so you can choke down on the blade and have better control. Some makers assert that choils are to avoid ragged indentations at the grind termination when resharpening. Either way, it's for your benefit. Fuller-more commonly known as a blood groove, this hollowed out strip reduces weight without removing strength from the blade. Jimping-notched sections on any part of the knife used for enhancing grip. Quillon-pronounced "key own" (it's French), these are the extensions from the handle that protect your hands from moving down on the blade. Recurve-a sweeping blade edge in an S shape, used for extending the length of the cutting edge, improve slicing, or just for visual effect. This is more difficult to sharpen in the field since you need rods. Scales-the handle sections attached to the tang of a full-tang knife or to the back spacer of a folder. Skeletonized-some pieces of the handle material are taken out to make the knife lighter. Spine-the back of the blade. Swage/swedge-often called a false edge, this taper or bevel on the spine near the blade tip reduces weight and thickness of the blade and if sharpened, produces an extra cutting edge for enhanced penetration. Often seen on fighting knives. Tang-how far the knife blade extends into the handle; the two types are partial or full. Full tang is generally stronger. Thumb rise-also called a ramp or rest, this area at the place where the handle and blade meet allows the user to apply thumb pressure and exert greater control over the knife.
