Rich, yes the Voyager (gunsite or not) has the tanto blade. Ohhh, the function of the tanto shape in general?? Have no idea, other than to look "samurai-ish". Maybe someone else can enlighten....IIRC, the ad for this knife advertises that it penetrates a car door without breaking the tip. So, perhaps the geometry of the shape somehow strengthens(?).
