Tanto knife

tanto knife, Honey Badger Knives

A tanto knife is a type of traditional Japanese knife known for its distinct blade shape. The word tanto translates to “short sword” or “dagger” in Japanese. Tanto knives are characterized by their straight-edge and pointed blades, which are typically around 5 to 12 inches in length.

The tanto was originally designed as a weapon, but over time it evolved into a versatile utility knife used for various cutting tasks. The design of the blade provides excellent piercing ability due to its reinforced tip, making it ideal for tasks that require controlled penetration.

In modern times, tanto knives are popular among knife enthusiasts, collectors, and outdoor enthusiasts. They are commonly used for camping, survival situations, and general utility purposes. Some tanto knives feature a combination edge with both a straight and serrated section to handle a wider range of cutting tasks.

Tanto knives can come in different materials, including stainless steel, high carbon steel, or even Damascus steel, and they may have various handle materials, such as wood, G10, or various synthetic materials.

It’s essential to note that the term “tanto” is also used loosely to describe any knife or blade with a similar profile, even if it doesn’t have Japanese origins. As with any knife, the intended use, materials, and craftsmanship are crucial factors to consider when selecting a tanto-style knife for a specific purpose.

The Honey Badger Tanto is available in various configurations. These include 3 sizes, multiple colors and steel types to suit your hand size and personal taste.

There is also the option to upgrade the handles using our selection of G10 scales.

Great budget knives that compete with other brands. Only complaint is that the finish on the edges of the scales could be nicer. Otherwise perfect.

Can’t say enough about my experience with honey badger. Knife was sharp out of the box and arrived quick. When I mistakenly ran my knife through the dryer I lost some parts and thought I would be buying a new one, when I contact customer service, they not only sent me the parts I needed but also helped me identify parts I didn’t know I was missing. All within the hour. Really can’t say enough, honey badger customer service is probably the best I’ve ever experienced
