I like how he tries to take credit for "designing" that style of tanto when it was actually ripped from ancient Japanese designs (e.g.; Fujiwara Masahiro, Fujiwara Hirotoka, etc.) and performs the same as the slightly curved tips of old.

@Wodjanje

He is not taking credit for designing the ancient Japanese tantos, but for designing the "american style" tanto with a different kind of blade and point, which is quite different from the traditional japanese designs.

@Wodjanje I would have to disagree with you.

[rachet197]

@Wodjanje how about you give me some more history about this "tanto"

it's not the same as the tip cold steel makes

Gonna get me one of this

Can do things a gun can't do... although each has its purposes. These are solid pieces of steel. ...right about the snap-cut, as he calls it. It's intrinsic, if you're lucky enough, to have kinesthetic perception, when idiots accost you, but never heard it detailed. As with ball bats, many people don't utilize 'em, in situations to their best, always swinging, instead of jabs B4 swings. I finally get to see the fella who made some of my favorite toys...

that tanto has a hollow grind and i really think that the hollow grind will not last as long as flat grinds would after years of sharpening

@AmericanEuro1 Is using modern materials in the knife. That's it.

@AmericanEuro1 This so-called "Americanized" tanto is a blade shape known as kiriha-zukuri and is found on blades before the 9th century; that's 1300 years, so yes, it is ancient. Also, tanto blades ranged in size from 6" to 12". Oh, look! Cold Steel Master Tanto: 6" blade. Magnum Tanto II: 7.5" blade. Magnum Tanto IX: 9" blade. And Magnum Tanto XII: 12" blade. Hey! Those are the same sizes on historical tantos! In other words, no, he can't take credit for the design. All he can take credit for
