ITEM: 1255

Short Tanto, Serrated

The Tanto blade shape, of Asian influence, has a thick pointed blade that's rugged enough for the most difficult tasks. A partially serrated edge makes cutting looped and synthetic materials a breeze. Leather sheath included. Please note a rolling change has been made to the markings on our Black Kraton G Fighting/Utlity Knives. The "USA" marking has been removed and you may receive a knife without this marking. Only the marking has changed; this is not a change to where or how these products are made.

  - Needed a good, dependable knife for my job. Knew about Ka Bar dependability through the military. Bought the short tanto with serrated edge with the tactical sheath. The knife is solid. It is exactly what you expect in a quality knife. Excellent balance and sharp as a razor. My line of work dulls blades quickly, but so far this knife has held it's edge. Absolutely love this knife. I'm going to be ordering another Ka Bar in the future. The sheath I opted to get is a good sheath. It is exactly what you would want for your blade. It secures the knife with a snap closure at the handle and one across the finger guard. The sheath also requires the knife to be pushed in fully which snaps the finger guard into position and locks it there until you actually pull it out. On the first day on the job with me the snap running across the fingerguard seized up and the snap pulled through the webbing. This was due to the conditions I work in however, as the snap seized due to mud getting in it and it pulled through because I was trying to get out of the rain when the snap seized so I yanked it, which I normally wouldn't do. Impressive products from a reputable company. Thanks Ka Bar!

  - First Ka Bar I got. Strong, sturdy, and sharp. I've choped small branches, used the bottom as a hammer. Seems to be good for a lot of things. Leather sheath is good and doesn't break, mine has a lot of wear but it is still in one piece and usable. Best knife I ever had.

  - Used this knife a lot in Afghanistan, just north of Kandahar. I made a 550 cord attachment on the sheath so I could fit it on my belt at the small of my back. The sheath is sweet. Easy to pull out if you need it quick. I used it for cutting the weed plants. Stayed very sharp.
