The Tanto design is pure utility. Its probably the strongest type of knife put out and they can be extremely sharp.

As already noted, the point design is almost indestrutcable. I say "almost" because some people consider knives to be general purpose tools, a combination srewdriverbumperjackhandlecanopenernutbustingpeanutbutterspreadingtoolofallsorts.


I have the Coldsteel Recon Tanto that Runt talks about. Ive been using it for years to camp,hunt, clean fish and I occasionlly carry it on duty when Im playing Cop.

I can testify to its toughness.Ive broke the tips of several traditinal style knives. Im not saying the tip cant be broke on a Tanto point, but one would really have to work at it .
