The Tanto blade shape, of Asian influence, has a thick pointed blade that's good for penetration. Coupled with a glass-filled nylon sheath this knife is designed for the toughest of tasks.  Hard plastic MOLLE compatible sheath included. Please note a rolling change has been made to the markings on the Black Kraton G Fighting/Utility Knives.  The "USA" marking has been removed and you may receive a knife without this marking.  Only the marking has changed; this is not a change to where or how these products are made.
