OK - got my C/P tanto from the big brown truck today!! Overall first impression: puzzlement. It's a cool knife - but it isn't what's pictured on the EKI site. The blade in the site pic has some belly to it. This one is a straight edge - which is too bad, as the belly made the knife look "fuller", for lack of a better word. I guess, to me, the blade width from edge to tang just seems small... it'll take some getting used to. I LOVE the handle - very ergonomic and simple. It fills my hand nicely. The blue anodized liners look cool with the black G10.

Let me know what you think - I'll throw a scan up tomorrow.

*EDIT* You know what it is? The curve on the top of the blade is more severe than I've seen before - that's why the blade's width seems out of whack. I was just comparing it with my SOCFK, and the blade on the Tanto has less meat out towards the point.

I just picked a Tanto up at the Blade Show. That thing is awesome!

If it had a "wave", the Commander would be in for a run.

Chris,
when did you place your order?and how did they notify you?I snail mailed an order at the end of march and have heard nothing.

JB -

I faxed mine in at the end of April. Peggy called me on the phone the day she was sending it out (which was this past Friday). So, hang in there - I'll just bet they're backlogged with orders.
 
OK! Here are the scans I promised.

I think you can see the blue liners just a bit in this one.

Geez, based on See2's comments, I hope I am not disappointed in my. I really liked the belly on the blade.

John, is the blade on yours bellied or straight?

Scott, it's straight. It appears that the belly was an optical illusion. Having said that, this is my favorite EKI product after the Commander series.

I'm thinking Full Dress Tanto now.
