Willis Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Its a very good looking knife, but I dont think its in the traditional tanto style. I'd personaly use it as a skinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KST1-Derek Fultz Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Willis, I don't think he was calling the knife a tanto. Based on his user name, I think he was signing out. Either way, nice looking spike knife. I like the deep irregular twist in the handle and the little curly scroll from the spike head/pommel. Really nice for only your second try. -Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technicaly the word tanto is Japanese for small knife :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
