The tanto knives history can be traced back to Japan. The tanto knife, also known as a Japanese short sword, resembles the Samurai sword.
Cold Steel popularized the tanto knife style back in the 80's. Cold steel has been producing the highest quality tanto knives ever since. These knives are very popular among knife collectors.
So what makes the tanto knife so popular among collectors and users? Like drop point knives, bowie knives and daggers the tanto knife has thin points. Great for stabbing, slicing, slashing and cutting, these knives are as strong as they look. Even with much repeated use its very difficult to damage the knife tip. The tanto knife has a reinforced end, making the blade extremely strong.
So if your searching for a knife for everyday use or are a knife collector, the tanto knife will satisfy which ever need you have.
