Anyone feel free to correct me but I'm pretty sure the tanto main edge still has a slight amount of belly to it. If I'm wrong then this wouldn't be the first time.

There's actually a slight belly on both the primary and the forward edges. They aren't completely straight.
For me, I'm really enjoying the tanto on my small Inkosi. It isn't perfect for everything, but it's great when you want to pierce and then slice, which tends to be my preferred cutting approach. Years ago I had a small Sebenza 21 Insingo. Really loved that thing. Probably the most useful blade shape for me.

the first sebenza i ever bought was tanto, but i never carried it. its still mint from when i bought it. insingos 21s have come and gone and have come back. and just for curiosity i added a drop point or two when the opportunity came. end of the day, still prefer insingo most
