US Tanto: The US in US Tanto represents "United States." The United States Tanto is a reverse American Tanto.
Knife:
If you’re looking for an EDC style knife, yet want a tactical design, the 2023 US Tanto is the knife for you. The “US” in US Tanto means “United States” as we are proud of our 100% United States material sourcing and production. This tactical EDC holds a strong edge thanks to the 154-CM steel used.
Handle:
The G-10 handles can be replaced/removed with either a flat or phillips bit screwdriver. The 3 screws can be used in the Kydex sheath to connect the clip. The G-10 handle can stay firmly attached without the middle screw, if needed.

Sheath:
All 2023 models come with a black Kydex sheath. The Kydex sheath allows the knife to click into place and stay there without the worry your knife will cut through the sheath (which can happen with leather and Nylon) or fall out. Kydex can be easily washed with soap and water. Make sure to completely dry the inside of your knife with compressed air before putting your knife back in.
Additional Features:
The jimping on the spine of the knife is a nice addition to help the user maintain a firm grip on the knife along with better control. The sharpening choil also helps the user with sharpening as it separates the blade from the handle with a clear & defined gap and helps the user fully sharpen the blade all the way to the heel of the blade. The half inch lanyard hole can be used to attach the knife to rope, line, D-rings, gear, and more.
