The decorative G10 handle scales form an attractive contrast to the tanto blade with its rough stonewashed finish on this belt knife from Herbertz. The proven 420 stainless steel was used as the material. In addition to the scales, a ribbed thumb rest and a finger groove ensure the necessary grip when working. A nylon sheath with piercing protection and a front pocket houses the knife during transport.

Information about the blade shape:
Tanto blade:
With this blade shape, the cutting edge is straight, the blade tip points upwards at a right angle, and the tip is located in the upper third of the blade, sometimes even at the level of the blade back. The tanto blade is not particularly suitable for precise cuts, but the knife tip is very stable. In addition to its use in rescue and tactical knives, this blade shape is also suitable for hunting. This knife shape is quite modern.
420 steel
Material information:
420 steel is mainly used when knife manufacturers want to keep the price-performance ratio low. The material is very corrosion-resistant, i.e. rust-free. However, this type of steel needs to be resharpened quite frequently. This is very easy to do. Of course, there are higher-quality knife steels, but this quality is usually sufficient for most applications.
