I wasted time watching this vid, actually. I thought you'd say why the tanto blade is more suited for a specific task than other blade type. And all you said is "a knife is good if it cuts". I don't hate this blade style, had a couple of knives with it, but saying that you don't notice the transition between angles is bullshit a bit. With most common type (both "edges" flat), even a low degree transition is noticeable. Even you, in the video, stated that once you rounded the angle of one of the knives it started to cut better. And it is the fact, that long, curved blades will cut better than the straight ones, just because the length of the cutting edge is longer. Btw, I'm talking here about the type of cut, where you pull your whole blade (like sabre fighting). Tanto might be good for sort of pull cut, where you just stick it in a bit, and drag it without moving the blade up or gown. Like a scalpel. (sorry for my english, and lack or proper terminology, it's not my first language)

Furn333 true, not the best for food prep but the tanto shines when it comes to extremely hard use. I can slam my Recon 1 tanto trough a steel drum, split logs, and use it as an improv pry bar with zero damage done to the blade. Also its a supremely effective blade shape for defense. The sharp angle of the American tanto slices with a ton of force and can penetrate bones easily when thrusted.

good video discussion. i totally agree, dude. i prefer the "taun-toe" pronunciation because, like you said, this is how it's pronounced in its language of origin. ppl can pronounce it however they want, but when they wrongly claim its mis-pronounciation as the correct way, they are only showing their ignorance. anyway, after using different blade shapes over the years, i find the tanto most versatile in its utility use. for ppl who say it's only good for stabbing, again, ignorance. a drop point is going to be just as intimidating for defense as a tanto, but for me, a tanto seems to have more utility versatility, especially with a serration combo. the first little flat edge between the tip and main edge, has been so handy for scraping stickers or gum, etc better than curved belly blades. also that angle where the belly would be focuses more force at an obtuse point, making cutting cardboard @ my job easier than other blade types I've used. also, i trust a tanto tip more, when a lot of force is required to pierce thick, tough materials. although i think blades with curved bellies would probably be better for dicing. anyways just my 2 cents.

For anyone about to watch this video for the first time.... This is the summary of the video, A knife is good...if it cuts. Now, for a Chef's point of view, one who uses knifes for a professional reason, and for hours a day. I am a Chef who is involved with multiple types of culinary experiences from Japanese dishes, to french, to English, to general European, and one thing I have learned is this mans opinion is not wrong. But!!!! Also remember who is making your knife, was it made with care? Is the blade steel good? What type of steel do you want? What thickness do you want? What is that knife for.... This is the big question. I don't use a Chef's knife to serve sushi, just like I wouldn't use a soba blade to prep vegetables. A Tanto knife, is based off the Katana to a smaller degree (this is the first issue I have with the video where you state the "americanized version is the straighter back tanto". A Tanto is generally very straight, or has a very slight curve in the spine with a dual angled blade. The typical uses for a Tanto blade is to pierce , and for very precise elbow cuts. An elbow cut is where you hold the blade straight and do not move your wrist during the cutting process, but rather use your elbow and bring it down in a singular motion. So should you buy a Tanto blade? For EDC it is ok, it can do the jobs of another blade, and if your not spending much on the blade what do you really care? If your spending $100+ on your tanto for a EDC option....you must really like the blade style lol.

I'm currently considering the tanto version of the SOG Flashback for EDC. Very informative video by the way.

I'm a big fan of tantos. They actually serve as a unique cutting tool when doing a number of tasks. The secondary tip of a tanto allows you to cut things that you would not be able to cut using just the tip on the end, at least not without potentially damaging it or it being an awkward angle. You can use that secondary tanto point to start divots in sticks for a bow drill or primitive traps. And the straight edge tantos have a nice straight blade which makes certain tasks easier and gives your more control. And of course it is more lethal from a tactical perspective because it has two points instead of one. That ZT is sick btw.

IMO a tanto (tahn-tow) is a better cutting blade because the angle change, and thicker belly at the angle change, seperates the material as you cut through it. Cut through some cardboard with both and notice the residence with each. You have to drag it through at a 45 degree angle to see the difference.

The benefit of a tanto knife isn't in the edge, but in the strength of the spine for stabbing through hard surfaces like body armor. Given how thin some of those OTF knives look, I doubt they're gaining any benefit from the tanto style other than looks. Take a look a typical cold steel fixed tanto, it's like they took a steel girder and sharpened down one side. When you combine that strength with the needle tip, you could literally stab someone through a car door without slowing down. I think of a solid 6" tanto blade as the knife equivalent of a 9mm. If you punch straight through to the vital organs with a knife of that size and twist on the way out, it's basically the same effect as getting shot by a small pistol.

You didn't even have to rant, X. You're 100% right on how Tanto is pronounced (Japanese phonetics are REALLY stiff, kinda like Spanish), and if peopla have to pull out your accent into the spotlight because they're losing the argument, they don't deserve even a line of the words you put up on the screen. BTW, your accent is awesome and don't let ANY shithead try and tell you otherwise - a dude's way of speaking doesn't measure his or her intelligence, that's the job of the words he or she tosses out there. And you got good words to say, you know your stuff. As for tanto blades, all I personally know is that I'd love to get one in a liner lock folder in a good alloy. You said yourself the front part is like a mini-knife that you can use for finer work, and someone else said that you can have it sharpened in a different way from the main edge for different tasks, which I agree with. Besides, as long as it's got a bit of a tip and the front edge is sharp, ANYTHING can pierce through things. The bevel works like a guillotine. It just can't be at a right angle from the length of the blade, then you don't get a point to concentrate a shit ton of the pressure on. Keep these coming, buddy, you're tons of fun and information to listen to!

My dad says that Tanto blades are too like... bad looking, like it looks like a very dangerous weapon because I want the ColdSteel recon series Tanto knife to carry (not the huge one)

Honestly, if you can't do your edc tasks with any type of blade, what the fuck. Even for the woods, you can manage with whatever you have.

Not sure if you've been on the bali market lately x4cto but if you get a minute take a look at the BRS Replicant. Got kind of a tanto bowie shape. Looks badass

Haha love the video I'm about to maybe get a Benchmade - Griptilian 553, Plain Tanto, Black Handle and I had question what you think about this knife? and should I get serrated?

At the end, you show your three favorite tanto blades. The last one, a folding knife - what is the name of that knife? Also showed in the beginning of the vid.

Tanto blades are worthless for tasks. I've owned them. The best tanto I've owned was ground down to a normal semi curve.

renemanjr123 Thank you, I appreciate you watching. Some of them can be a little harder to sharpen indeed, of course I tend to use a constant sweeping motion when sharpening a tanto because I like to knock the hard edge off... but more care is indeed needed if you want to maintain that secondary point.

camarotwofast I've not personally tried that particular model, but Buck is known to make some great blades that won't break the bank.
