S&W Homeland Security Tanto?

[Confederate]

I bought a bunch of these a few years ago when SMKWs was selling them for $29 or so. (The real price was likely $39, but back then it was $29, which made it a bargain.) The thing is a pry bar, but it cuts well and batons with the best of them. It's also 440C stainless steel, so I don't have to worry as much about it rusting like 1095. As a self defense tool, it lacks adequate balance, I think.

Does anyone else have a HLS Tanto? If so, what is your opinion of it? I've learned to love mine, especially the sheath.

I have the shorter version myself. Good knife.

I have never been able to like a tanto...just not my cup of tea. Only S&W knife I ever used was a folder...it was a real POS. I will stick to S&W's wheelguns LOL

The ultimate test of any knife...
Does it work for you?
