Tanto Knives

A tanto knife has an angular, reinforced tip rather than a curved point, originally derived from traditional Japanese short swords and later adapted into modern tactical fixed blades. Our tanto knives keep that thick, chisel-like tip for piercing strength, with a full-tang micarta-handled build.

Frequently Asked Questions

A tanto blade's flat grind and reinforced angular tip make it stronger against lateral stress and better at piercing hard materials than a curved drop-point blade, though it's less efficient for slicing tasks. It's a common choice for tactical and utility fixed blades that need tip durability.
