The KA-BAR Short Tanto is the baby brother of the famous KA-BAR USMC, with an Asian twist. The knife has the same features, though this version is equipped with a tanto blade. The penetrating power of the tanto shape is what distinguishes this knife from its competitors. The knife is big and feels very strong. The handle is enhanced with a knife guard to make sure you will never end up on the razor-sharp edge during heavy-duty use. The blade is made from 1095 carbon steel. This steel, however, is not corrosion resistant. Fortunately the blade is enhanced with a black coating to make sure maintenance is a lot easier. You can carry this KA-BAR in the included kydex sheath.
