Frequently Asked Questions

Is a tanto blade better for self-defense than a drop-point?
Tanto tips are built for piercing strength, thanks to their reinforced point geometry. Drop-point blades offer a larger cutting edge for general use. Which one suits you depends on what you expect to use the knife for day to day.

What should I look for in a folding knife blade if I carry daily?
Focus on lock strength, blade steel quality, and how fast you can deploy it one-handed. A spring-assisted mechanism speeds up deployment in situations where you don’t have two hands free.

Are folding knives legal to carry?
Laws on blade length and carry method vary significantly by state and city. Check your local regulations before carrying any folding knife, tanto or otherwise.
