the main advantage of the fixed blade....

at least, with knives with more compact handles, such as these, is that although same open length, weight, and even thickness, the folder requires the larger handle to enclose a shorter blade, so these fixed blades offer 5" of blade and 4" of handle, vs 4" of blade and 5" of handle. Many fixed blades would actually split that difference. But, again, the folder stowed size and thickness can't be beat.
