Tanto Point knives are my favorites! I own several Cold Steel variations in folding knives, fixed blades, and machetes.

Tanto is the easy to sharpen with my Hapstone T1 , so damn sharp I accidently sliced of chuck of my finger without pain. Overall , it is like a half of a Roman Gladius.

Stabbing, it's a stabbing blade.
It can cut but it's meant for doing the job.

Just scored a Buck 653 Nighthawk. The thing I like about it is that the 653 is not a hollow grind like the 650.
