The tanto blade shape earned its reputation for strength at the tip, giving users a durable point alongside general-purpose cutting capability. The Blacktanto Ridge Folder Knife brings that same functional design into a folding pocket knife, continuing the tradition of every Black Tanto Folder we forge today. Black Micarta handles became a trusted choice among knife makers because the material holds its grip well even in wet or rough conditions.
