Looks Great. I noticed they changed the Tanto Blade profile a tad. Yours has more of a point to it, while mine is more blunt nose. Here is a pic of my blade profile so you can see the difference.

I saw a video online of somebody saying they do both and you never know what your going to get
 
Nice score, I have a regular Umnum and a Lg Tanto Sebbie. Something about that CRK Tanto blade, love it.
I'll probably wind up selling or trading the reg Umnum for a Tanto.
 
That is exactly what I clocked as well, it looks like the point could be a bit lower and there is more off the belly on the OPs knife than we are used to seeing.

TNK used to offer two different point styles. One was called a "dynamic point " while the other was the "standard point ". The OP may have the dynamic point as its is pointier. I remember emailed Neil about this when I was looking for mine and he explained the differences and the benefits of each. I don't have the email to share unfortunately as I upgraded computers and lost all of my old emails.
 
CRK knows how to do tantos. If only they offered the tanto on the star-tac I'd have my perfect CRK.
 
Man that is beautiful.I scouted where you got it a few days ago and was hopping that they would stay on the down low until I got the funds. Now it is in the lords hands. :)
 
Very nice! I love my tanto Umnumzaan, one of my favorites for sure. I don't think I like the little gray disc though, when did they start that?

The disc thing is a Lock-Bar Stabilizer. When people were buying the umnumzaan, they had a hard time disengaging the lockbar, so they were bending it out to lessen it. ( BIG NO NO ). CRK had tons of warranty issues because of people doing this, so they added this Non-Removable lockbar stopper so people cannot bend it out. Its a good idea, it could just have been done in a prettier fashion so to speak as it does look bad.
 
The tanto Umnumzaan I have seems to be right inbetween those two. I would say Bwolcott's knife has a "standard point" but it looks more like the tanto blade one sees on the Sebenza to me.
