    The Japanese character for Ta, た, is pronounced with the flatter “tah” sound. Japan doesn’t have the phoneme for
    æ (as in “cat”).
    So if it’s of Japanese origin, I’d naturally say the word “tahnto” unless I wanted to throw some southern twang on it.

    Blade HQ
    Tonto was the Lone Ranger’s faithful companion; Tanto refers to a short blade sword. The interesting part is the blade point style is called a kissaki point and was designed to punch under or through armor. Saying Taantoe is a more correct. This style of blade was also said to be the choice for Samurai to commit Seppuku to save face from defeat in battle or other failures to follow the Samurai code. However, it does hold up much better than pointy blades when punching thru tough materials. Cold Steel knives use their own designed point that is not quite a traditional Kissaki style point. I have two early Cold Steel models one uses V10 and one uses German D2 steel. New blade steels are not always better than older ones; in some cases they are just what one knife maker chooses to use at the time. Some steels used in the past were more costly or difficult to use. They were replace for that reason; not that they were inferior steels in anyway.

      When was a kid; I always gazed into knife display cases at the hardware store and wanted one of every kind. I wasn’t very old; when my Mom bought me a pocket knife with Rusty and Rin-Tin-Tin on it. It had the Morse-Code on the other side. I was so little I had no chance of getting it open. I carried it everywhere for a long time. My Pappy would open it; and under his watchful eye and let me try to peel an apple. He could peel an apple and have one continuous piece of peel from beginning to end. I’m still trying to perfect that trick. The day came when I got that knife open; I felt like I was man. The little problem was after whittling sticks and cutting hay bales loose I didn’t know how to close the blade safely. Pappy always did it for me. Well; I cut my finger closing the blade; I had to run to Granny for medical assistance. When I watch the knife flicking show they do on knife channels; I wonder how many people get cut playing with sharp knives. That makes me laugh every time I see them doing it. Thank you for your kind reply. I still can’t stop fooling with knives and likely never will.

    I have a lot of Cold steel knives. my recon 1 tanto blade is my everyday carry. It just feels right and everything else doesn't feel the same. I have two clips on my Spartan. sometimes it's the only knife I carry or sometimes it's my self-defense knife along with an EDC in the other pocket so I can carry it on either side depending on what the function is.

    @ShoutenKen23 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kind of excessive, but I used to carry the Spyderco Yojimbo 2 with both clips for a while (clips mounted for left and right tip up). The ergo's on the knife didn't make it uncomfortable at all, surprising enough. I was working as a lab assistant so it was really convenient to be able to put the knife in either pocket if one of my hands were tied up doing something else and the supervisor walked in randomly.

    I have a CRKT M16 Tanto, which has been part of my EDC for over a decade, and it's such a fierce and potent knife. Just looking at that tanto tip and I'm like, "Yeah, that'll take care of this..." I have my eyes on the Bailout; I'd like to see a different color variance though. I think a plain-edge tanto is a great EDC, and the Bailout is a premier knife that really holds its own!

    I have that exact Kershaw Shuffle 2 and I love it so much. My BFF is a knife girl and she got it for me and I was kinda just like oh cool ya know neat but no big deal. It's SUCH a good little knife though! I use the hell out of it. The geometry makes it stupid easy to get a hair popping edge on it, it's good for just about any cutting task you will run into... it opens beers and it has a flathead/prybar on the back. I abuse it like a nuckle dragged ad-nauseaum and I still haven't messed it up at all. KAI plz make a ZT version or release it in 14c28n and G10 plz!

    Could we agree the Spyderco PM2 Tanto is the best Tanto of the year.

    I'd probably go with the Bailout....mainly because of the aluminum scales. Wish they came in black or blue :)

    I have the Kershaw shuffle 2 . I hated it at first. Then decide to give it a longer try and found it was a great utilitarian knife. Although I have yet to use the most over hyped "tool". Aka bottle opener.

    The tanto pm2 looks super sexy even though I think a normal pm2 has a more useful blade shape.
    Also the term for the tip grind that is missing on the bailout is called the kissaki on a traditional tanto/katana

    Y'all. I got the Stedemon ZKC-03 in Jade CR10 for about $60. F-ing amazing. It's what I carry instead of my WE TI.

    You gotta think of the name like this. One's a knife. One's from the Lone Ranger.

    Kurt pronounces it correctly (in the beginning), just like Tanto from the Lone Ranger.

    Of course I'm picking the PM2. And, it's Tahnto. Originally made from the tip of a broken katana or wakisashi.

    First time viewer of your page. Awesome video and informative, 8:02 Benchmade Bailout, is the knife ambidextrous? Being left handed is hard to find a knife that will suit me. what’s the difference between this vs the 940? Which one do you recommend for light weight to carry around
