Sheath Tanto Blade




Can someone help me find a knife?

I want a Full Tang knife, with very strong steel. I want to be able to remove the handle and put para cord on it even if i have to drill out rivets. I found the Ontario rd6 knife but i was looking for a tanto or something that looks better, and not so boring. So i was thinking of the Cold Steel gi tanto or true flight, but their a little big i was looking more for 10″ at the most, 8″ would be perfect. If someone wants to look for one, or knows of one that would be great.

Right off, I would look to Cold Steel, again. In most cases, they are “cheap” in price, but hard workers. And, if you’re going to break it down, you don’t want to pay more than $100 and toss have that.

I’m thinking of the black, Recon Tanto, and wondering how it was too big, at about 8 inches. I may be wrong, but I thought it and the Recon Scout were in this range, and only missed on the para cord handle. And, while I know that is the style, I prefer a handle that won’t come off, so I know my grip is secure when I’m using it, even if I have to wear the para-cord to hold my pants up.

The original Tanto, along with the larger versions, run bigger and more costly, but they hold up equally well. I think the “biggest” you would want is the Magnum Tanto, in San Mai steel, but this knife has a massive reputation to keep up there. It was huge in the 1980s, and has only grown since, as it has been improved.

I think Bill Bagwell has similar ideas to yours, except for the size issue. He likes the bigger knives, for good reasons. I prefer small ones, that don’t scream they are there to everyone. You might check and see what he’s going in the fire today. I haven’t seen his stuff since the late 1980s, when he was writing for SOF.

These are about the only ones I know besides the old Marine K-bar, which may be a little plain for you. Still, she’s a fighter and then some, as any Marine can attest. She may be old, but she’s still got fire there and hasn’t given up a fight since the 1940s. Don’t know which is tougher, that knife or then damn Marines. (Yeah, you can have no better friend or worse enemy)

One of the best knives I know is given to the Special Forces when they complete their training at Rowe U. Chris Reeves little Green Beret knife, also known as the “Yarborough” knife, can’t be beat. However, butchering that knife is a pretty grave sin, to most.

I’ve used the Cold Steel UWK, black and “white” for years. I’ve heard that they’ve been dropped from the line (WHY?) but you should still be able to find them for sale, at higher prices, if you look on the websites. There is also a Combat or Military Classic, which is even bigger.

Al Mar had some wonderful knives out there, but I’m not sure what is still being made today. And, custom knives tend to be pretty good without being modified, and the price can make one rethink it if you’re wanting to improve on it. I think his ideas are still being carried on under SOG, but not sure.
