I have both. I find the tanto blade isn't very useful as a work knife, but it is good for stabbing/puncturing, and it doesn't go over very well at the airport (I have teh combo blade on it. The AFCK is a great all-around knife both for utility and self-defense, doesn't seem to raise much attention (plain blade) at the security ckpt. The black coating is nice. Go for it. M2
