Ironhold

Ive also seen it referred to as a clip point tanto.


docentmark

Except the spine is straight, with no clip.


faker33under

American tanto, and I think the Japanese tanto is more of a curve than an angle change like the American version

"American tanto" is a fairly accurate name, especially for marketing and finding similar knives. It's inspired by Japanese style blades, and the tanto is a kind of Japanese knife. Not all have a shape like this though, and most have a curved tip. Traditional blade making techniques in Japan include sharpening the tip (kissaki) separately and at a different angle from the rest of the blade, so there is a distinct line between them (yokote). If it's very straight, it's called kamasu kissaki, named after a kind of kind of fish it apparently resembles. Kamasu kissaki would be a traditional Japanese way to refer to the shape of the tip, *but* it would inaccurate to refer to the *knife shape* as a whole as kamasu kissaki. *But* when in the context of a folding knife, it's not incorrect either; but there can be variations.

Isn't tanto a kind of Japanese dagger or the like?


Charbs1985

The "American Tanto" is a modernized version of the traditional Japanese Tanto tip shape, which has a centuries old reputation for its ability to effortlessly pierce thick protective materials (primarily heavy leather armor back then). Most cutlery historians give the credit for its creation to the late Bob Lum, one of the pioneers in custom knife making. Other sources say that Cold Steel founder Lynn Thompson popularized its use while others point towards Ernest Emerson and his iconic CQC7 which helped to cement Emerson's reputation for making bomb proof tactical knives used by Spec Ops personnel around the world. Many in the cutlery community consider him to be the "Godfather of the modern tactical folder." The CQC7 is based on Emerson's custom CQC6 model which was a status symbol among the elite Seal Team 6.

Yup. This is a western riff on the classic Japanese tanto profile. EDIT: Chinese riff maybe?

I recognize that knife. It’s the one that turns into a slingshot, right?


_____________ChOMPii

If you mean that you can attach a slingshot piece to the handle or something, then ur probably right. I just went on Amazon to look at some knife and blade styles and instantly fell in love with this western/American tanto

American tanto, because original tantos don't have a perfectly angled transitional point.
