What is your favorite style of knife? You might like bowie knives, daggers, spear point knives or even drop point knives. What do you like most about that style of knife? Is it simply the way that it looks, or does it perform better than other styles of knives?
Knife buyers have been in love with tanto knives for many years. This is because of their Japanese sword-like appearance and SUPER strong point.
Here are three reasons why you should buy tanto knives:
1. Many knife styles have VERY thin points. These are great for stabbing or puncturing but make the knife vulnerable to breaking or cracking.
Bowie knives, daggers and talon point knives are perfect examples of thin pointed knives that could break if used hard enough. Although tanto knives usually have a point that is thin enough to puncture or stab, it is reinforced and thick enough to withstand rigorous torture testing.
2. Don't get me wrong. Tanto knives are normally made with a thick enough spines to withstand a lot of abuse. They are also hollow ground, which means that the thick spine "tapers" down to a RAZOR thin cutting edge.
3. Sharpening a tanto knife is unlike almost any other knife. You should remember that tanto cutting edges have two separate angles.
The "primary grind" is the long and straight cutting edge. The secondary grind is the smaller portion of the blade that curves upward. When you sharpen your tanto knives, remember to adjust the angle accordingly for the two different grind styles.
